Right Size Pet Step or Pet Ramp for My Pet
What size does your pet need?
17 Jan 2005
**From the top of the pet step or pet ramp to the top of the bed should be considered one more step. From the top of a 22" Triple Pet Step to the top of a 28" bed would be a 6" step up for your dog or cat.
**Some pets need to be trained to use the pet steps or pet ramps. You are often changing one of your pet's daily habits and this may take some time and patience so your pet will have time to practice.
**Start training your pet to use the pet step or the pet ramp from the TOP. It is more natural for your dog or cat to go downhill than it is to get them to go uphill. Their favorite treat or toys help them become comfortable and familiar with their new pet step or pet ramp.
**Order two...one for the living room or family room and one for the bedroom. We usually can ship two in the same box.
**To Clean your ramp: Soap & water for the frame. Soap & water or a carpet shampoo for the carpet. It is best not to soak the carpet to clean it. The plywood underneath if saturated could warp over time.
