Although they’re intended for animals, most pet stairs are designed with humans in mind, not dogs. Shallow stair depths fail to accommodate the wide space between a dog’s front and back legs, while insecure platforms make it difficult for animals to climb safely or comfortably. Keep Your Furry Friend Safe and Comfortable with Dog Stairs from Pet Loader! Endorsed by vets, groomers and trainers Pet Loader can fit any vehicle from a small sedan to a large semi truck & can also be used for beds, couches, grooming, vet tables and more.

SIZING CHART: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MODEL FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG Choose The Number Of Steps For The Height Of Your Vehicle Measure before buy to ensure proper fit! Pet Loader offers 3,4, and 5 step models to accommodate any height. Measure from the pavement to where your pet will enter (cargo floor, seat, truck bed, rear entry, etc.), then see height chart below. Choose The Width Pet Loader models come in 12," 14.5," 16," or 18" widths. Choose width based on the space where the Pet Loader will need to fit and your dog's comfort level. All widths will work for rear entry use. For Side Entry Use With the platform resting on the seat, Measure the height from the pavement to the backseat to find the extension/step height needed. Measure the door opening width. All openings must allow 2” of additional space to accommodate the width of the Pet Loader. The 12˝ Mini will fit MOST side entry vehicle doors. The 14.5" Ultra-Light will fit SOME side door vehicles. The Lite 16" or XL 18" MAY fit in the side entry of some large SUVs. Factory Installed Wheels Available Factory installed wheels allow you to roll Pet Loader for easily mobility. If you would like wheels to be installed on your Pet Loader, be sure to order from the listing that has "with wheels" listed in the title. To find the listing with wheels, use the desertcart search bar to type which Pet Loader you are looking for and add "with wheels." Ex. Pet Loader Mini 12" with wheels CHOOSING A LOADER BASED ON DOG BREED OR SIZE, RECOMMENDATIONS HIGHLIGHTED FOR SMALL DOGS For small dogs, such as the toy breeds, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu, Toy Poodles, Pugs, Pomeranians, and Maltese, the Pet Loader Mini (12") works perfectly. The smaller platform of the Pet Loader Mini dog stairs will work for them in almost every situation. FOR MEDIUM TO LARGE DOGS For medium to large dogs, we recommend the Pet Loader Ultra Light (14.5") or Pet Loader Light (16") for rear entry use. The 16″ platform of the Pet Loader light will accommodate almost every breed, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Bulldogs, Pointers, and Huskies. These breeds typically weigh less than 150 pounds. For those that are over 150 pounds we recommend the Pet Loader XL. FOR EXTRA LARGE DOGS For extra large dogs, we recommend the Pet Loader XL. These include Mastiffs, Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Bernese Mountain Dogs & Saint Bernards. These dogs because of their size and weight should be using the Pet Loader XL with its 18″ platform. All dogs that weigh over 150 pounds or that are built with a wider girth should use the wider, more rugged Pet Loader XL. CHOOSING THE NUMBER OF STAIRS AND EXTENSION HEIGHT 3-STEP Vehicle Height 16-20". Great for car backseats, minivan side doors, beds and couches. PLATFORM KITS are also available to turn your 3-step to a 4-step or 4-step to a 5-step if desired.

Most popular, fits most vehicles, small SUV's, minivans, RV Campers, tall beds, tall vet or grooming tables. 5-STEP Vehicle Height 29-40". Ideal for large SUVs, Trucks, Semi Trucks and other tall surfaces. Review: Really sturdy! - I was very pleased with how wide the steps are. And how easy they are set up and take down. I’m not super strong either so trying to help my Labrador get into the car was becoming a real challenge. This particular size was too wide to use for the backseat opening in my SUV. But it was perfect for the front seat. I could not be more pleased! Emme (11year old lab) says thank you. It only took one time with treats to get her used to the stairs. She’s not scared of them at all! Review: Doesn't seem to be adjustable and does not extend very ... - Doesn't seem to be adjustable and does not extend very high. Be careful when you measure also, to take the door depth into consideration. How far the door opens and anything that extends out from the door could be another problem. ## Features - No injury to dog or yourself.

It will not reach his seat or the tailgate in a 4 step that would have to be a 5 step.You can always add a step but it takes about 15 minutes of time.Evon WhalenPetloader815 765 1957 **Q: At maximum vertical height what is the stair rise?** A: All 5 steps will reach 40 inches and the distance between the step is 9 1/2 inches If that same Petloader was at 29 inches the distance between the steps is 7 1/2 **Q: How do I know whether I need a 3 or 4 step?** A: I have a Volvo suv and I probably could have gotten by with the 3 step, but ordered the 4 step. It depends on how high your vehicle is, and how steep your dog can handle. The further out you pull it, the less steep it is. It works great for my 60lb. medium size dog. **Q: What's the weight of ultralight 14-1/2 inch 4-step and what are folded-up dimensions?** A: 20 pounds 22 x 7 1/2 x 22 (knob to knob) Like a roll on suitcase ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really sturdy! *by S***Z on June 23, 2019* I was very pleased with how wide the steps are.

Be careful when you measure also, to take the door depth into consideration. How far the door opens and anything that extends out from the door could be another problem. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Product. *by B***Y on May 31, 2018* Perfect for my 15 year old Lab who has some difficulty using a ramp. I have to help him a bit, but he's able to just step instead of jump into the back seat of the car. He still LOVEs to go for rides. This product is sturdy and VERY well made. Folds easily and is great for road trips and at home! Awesome product! GREAT customer services!
