My husband and I have Dachshund, while she is young now we worry about her back as she get's older. She has made a habit of jumping off our bed that stand's at 38" from the ground. So we bought the stairs at a grate price in hope's she would use them. Took her a Total of 2 week's to get her to use them with out a command, Now that she is use to them she love's them. Now she goes to bed with out us...lol. It's better for her health as well.As for the product it's self, it came fast. Perfect height for our bed. Is easy to put together. Cleaning is a breeze with the step pad's removable, and the rest wipe's clean.
