Dog Stairs
Dog stairs make everyday life safer and easier for your dog. Whether you have a small dog with short legs, an older dog with arthritis or hip issues, or a pup recovering from surgery, the right dog steps can help reduce risky jumps and support healthy movement.
Many Australian homes have tall beds, deep couches, or slippery wood and tile floors. Jumping up and down from furniture can cause strain, injuries, and long-term joint problems. Dog stairs and dog ramps give your pet a stable, gentle incline to climb with confidence.
Our range includes dog stairs, dog steps, and dog ramp designs made for different spaces, furniture heights, and dog sizes. From foam steps for indoor comfort to sturdy plastic stairs and ramp styles with strong traction, each option is designed to improve safety, stability, and daily comfort.

Dog Stairs FAQs
Do vets recommend dog steps?
Yes, many vets recommend dog steps or a dog ramp, especially for small dogs, older dogs, and breeds prone to back or hip issues. Stairs help reduce jumping, which can cause injuries over time. They are also commonly suggested after surgery to support safe movement during recovery.
Is a ramp or stairs better for a dachshund?
For dachshunds, a dog ramp with a gentle incline is often better than steep stairs. Dachshunds have long backs and short legs, so a ramp helps reduce strain on the spine and joints. A ramp or low, wide dog steps with good traction can help dachshunds climb safely without jumping.
How to train a dog to use stairs for bed?
Training is simple and usually quick:
Place the dog stairs firmly against the bed so they don’t move
Use treats to guide your dog one step at a time
Keep sessions short and positive
Praise and reward every successful climb
Let your dog move at their own pace
Most dogs learn within a couple of days when the stairs feel stable and secure.
What age can puppies do stairs?
Puppies can start using dog stairs once they are confident walkers, but jumping from furniture should be avoided. Using stairs early helps teach safe climbing habits and can protect joints as your furry friend grows. Choose stairs with a gentle slope and lightweight design that suits your puppy’s size.
