Jumping on and off a bed or sofa is hard on small dogs, older pets and anyone with stiff joints, and plenty of small dogs simply cannot make the leap. A set of steps lets them reach their favourite spot at their own pace.

These stairs have three treads, each covered in non-slip carpet for grip, set in a wooden frame with curved sides and paw-print cut-outs. They go together without complicated tools and stand beside the bed or sofa. With a boxed weight of about 2.3kg they are easy to move from room to room.

• 3 steps
• Non-slip carpet on every tread
• Wooden frame with paw-print cut-out sides
• Simple assembly, no complicated tools
• Boxed size about 50 x 41 x 7.5cm, weight about 2.3kg

On size: the step height, overall height and weight limit are not published, so measure your bed or sofa before ordering and check the top step will reach it. They are shown with small dogs; a large or heavy dog needs a sturdier set. Stand them on a level floor and watch your pet the first few times.
