I want this for my 16 pound terrier who is getting too old to jump up on my 30" high bed. Are the steps smooth or slippery?

The steps are not slippery. I think it would work just fine for your purpose.

I wouldn't be at all afraid to allow my pet to use this stool. It's sturdy and the plastic surface has a texture. If you did have a problem, you could use bathtub strips.

Our Golden Retriever scoots up and down these to get to our camper (even when steps are wet). She is younger than your dog, but the steps are not so slippery. (Even if your dog has trouble negotiating them, you can always put the soft side of velcro tape on them to give some traction.) They are sturdy steps. Hope this helps and I'm so glad your terrier sleeps on your bed!

No not at all. I have a 5lb pomeranian and an 8lb terrier/pom mix comes to visit. They have no problem with the width of the ramp. They run up and down together with no problem! I did have steps but my little one broke her leg. She couldn't climb the steps at all. Found this ramp and it works perfect! It is plenty wide and not too steep.

Mine is on a Queen sleep number bed & works great. I would not call it slippery. It is soft to the touch, but not like a heavy velour. I also have a dog & the hair will shake of it. I would buy it again.

Kinda... Our Yorkie does not have a problem going up them at all.... Our other baby is a 13 yrs Rat Terrier, using them without a problem... But she (Rat terrier) just like to jump on the bed with out using the steps... But our Yorkie use them all them and just jumps off the bed.. Not for sure out Narrow you are talking about...

I already gave it away.. But I have a 13 year old fox terrier - about 20 lbs. The steps did not go high enough to get to the mattress ... Not wood and very flimsy built.

There is a carpet on it but I did find it to be slippery. My bed is also very tall and it was perfect but I will have to add a different type of carpeting so my dog can use it. At this time he is scared of it because he slid at first use. My dog is a midsized Terrier and about 20-30 lbs approx.

We haven't had any slip issues on the steps, but on a hard floor, the legs will slip pretty regularly if there is any kind of torque put on them.

My lab could use these steps. She weighed more than your dog and she had back problems and her knees were bad in back legs. The only issue is that the plastic of the steps is slippery. So I would suggest gluing some carpet on the steps.

No, it is not the same product (of which I have two and was trying to find). The product you are looking at is foam and completely solid with a removable cover (actually two covers were sent). I have the newer steps on a wooden floor and it slips a bit when my Yorkies use it (perhaps a non-slip pad underneath would solve this problem). However, even my 3.8 pound Yorkie is able to use it to get up to the bed. I hope this is helpful.

I have walked up and down it myself and I am "slightly" over 117lb! The bigger problem you might have is convincing her to use it. It has no sides and the carpet is pretty smooth underfoot. My 18 lb Bichon avoids it like it is evil. Yes I tried all the training tips but it didnt work for my dog. So it sits in a corner. The best use we have found for it thusfar has been helping us slide two upholstered wing chairs up to the second floor via our stairway.

The last step before the bed is 29" to the top of the step. The risers are about 6". I have several Yorkies ranging in weights from 2.5lbs to 8 lbs and ALL of them use the steps to get up on my rather tall sleigh bed. They have no problem whatsoever going up or down. I have had a couple other steps, but this stair from Pet gear are durable, stable and well worth the money. I would buy them again without a doubt =)

I use mine on a tile floor and it's not slippery. The stool is very sturdy and collapses nearly flat. I really like it. Cheers.

Mine is REALLY hard (not at all squishy) and 4.5 inches. My puppy is 3 months old and about 20 lbs. She likes it but has a really hard time trying to pick it up. She usually gets about 2 steps and it falls out of her mouth.

The top step is about 19 inches high. My bed is 28 inches high so its about a 9 inch step from my bed to the top step. Which isn't a problem for my dog. I have a 7lb Pom. She loves the steps. Only way she can get up and down by herself. I also have a two step for the sofa.

They aren't slippery. They are well-made. I had trouble fitting my elderly dog--her feet are splayed, but she's only medium size & the boots that fit her feet were too large on leg. I had luck with Protex Pawz reusable boots. They are like little balloons that fit on feet. They give protection, traction & are much less expensive. You might check them out.

The steps have some type of covering but we found that it was slippery for our dog so we added our own material to the steps with staples. Other than that the stairs are great - our dog loves them. She is able to walk up and down them slowly.

It looks like it is cleverly arranged corrugated cardboard surrounded by one large piece of corrugated cardboard. Let me tell you, though, it feels like wood it is that hard and sturdy. I purchased mine for my 75# basset hound whose legs are too short to jump onto my bed. She uses these no problem. Neither she nor the steps are wobbly, they are extremely supportive. Also the covering on it is really soft and their angle is not too much where she is scared to go down. I have a couple of different steps at my house on various pieces of furniture for her and this one, for the height I needed, is the best for her - I tried a couple different ones that did not satisfy. I highly recommend!
