Dog steps

Have seen steps for 5er that are longer and wider than standard. Mor Ryde has something like what I want but would like deeper steps. Have seen it in RV campground but I forgot the make. Any suggestions?

Here's my DIY steps in a extreme height situation. Cost little over $100 for materials. I plan to add a bottom adjustment feature and add a hand rail during the winter. It is designed to fit over existing 3 step and store behind the hitch acting as a bed saver.

We got the 6 foot tri fold steps from Chewy. Our dogs don't have any health issues that prevent them from climbing but we were concerned that our small dog would hurt her back legs having to go in and out. She had both ACL's repaired a few years ago. We were afraid our large do would mistakenly slip out the back of the steps while going up them resulting in possibly a broken leg. It works great and while wide enough for our 90 lb dog it is narrow enough that it gives the DW and I enough room to go in and out on the side next to the hand rail.

I think DTank has a good idea. I will move this to the Pet Stop forum.

You might also try (ask in) the "RV Pet Stop" forum (here).

Ask the mods to move your thread -OR- enter it with a slightly revised topic.

(you can't post the same thread title in more than one forum).

X2 on Torklift. They also have a barrier that will enclose the rise of the steps.

I would try putting some kind of cover over the "riser" portion of the steps so the dog doesn't look through the steps when trying to go up. Maybe even hang a dark piece of plastic or cardboard from the top rear of each step to cover the opening while looking at it from the front.

Edit: I knew I had seen it somewhere. Take a look here for an idea of what I am talking about. ๐Ÿ™‚

Many places such as chewy.com have folding pet ramps which may be a better/easier solution than changing the steps.
