These lightweight, grey plastic steps feature carpeted treads for superior traction and safety, providing a reliable way to reduce joint strain in your pet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is instantaneous; simply unfold the legs until they lock into the designated position. No tools are required for assembly. To ensure longevity, keep the steps clean by wiping the plastic frame with a damp cloth. The carpeted tread inserts should be vacuumed regularly to remove loose hair or debris. Avoid exposing the steps to extreme weight loads beyond the recommended capacity to prevent structural warping. When not in use, ensure the steps are fully folded to save space and protect the hinge mechanisms.
