Extra Wide Dog Stairs 19.7 in Width - 5 Step High Density Foam Ladder

In this review of the Extra Wide Dog Stairs 19.7 in Width, the bottom line is clear: these stairs are best for pet owners who need a stable, soft, portable solution to help small to medium dogs and senior pets reach high beds, sofas or cars. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 30D high density sponge core and a wide 19.7 in stepping surface that balances cushioning with support, reducing joint stress when pets climb repeatedly. The stairs arrive compressed, so patience during rebound and a quick cover placement are part of the setup.

Key Features

• Extra wide steps: The 19.7 in width gives more balanced footing for dachshunds, medium dogs and pets that hesitate on narrow ramps.
• High density sponge: The 30D foam core provides firm support while offering a soft surface to reduce impact on hips and joints.
• Removable, waterproof cover: The corduroy outer cover includes a TPU leakproof layer and can be machine washed for simple cleaning.
• Non-slip base: The nylon bottom minimizes movement on hard floors so the stairs stay stable when pets climb up or down.
• Lightweight and portable: The sponge construction and rear handle make it easy to move the stairs between rooms or into a vehicle.
• Layered height options: The 5-step configuration suits high beds or cars while fewer layers work for chairs, sofas or low beds.

Who It's For

This product is a good fit for owners of small to medium dogs, puppies or senior pets who need assistance reaching elevated furniture without the incline or footprint of a ramp. It is especially useful for dogs with hip or joint issues because the soft yet supportive foam reduces impact when they climb.

Owners who need a waterproof, machine-washable exterior and a portable solution will appreciate this design. Those who require a taller permanent structure or a fully washable internal foam should consider alternatives, since the inner sponge cannot be washed and the stairs arrive vacuum compressed and need 24-48 hours to rebound.

Cons

• The inner foam is not washable and the stairs arrive compressed, requiring 24-48 hours to fully rebound.
