How much weight can it support? My older dog(almost 14 yrs old)is between 55-70 pounds and struggles to get up our 3 steps to get into the house.

My dogs weighed about 40 pounds and it worked wonderful on my golf cart. For the need of 3 steps you might want to consider a longer ramp as it gets too steep.

That won't be a problem. I don't remember what the upper limit was, but it was much higher than 70 pounds.

I can"t speak to weight limits but can give 2 examples that may help, my dog is about 30 pounds and there is no flexing when he gets on it, I have accidentally stepped on and off quickly when I stumbled and the ramp did not break and I am 250 pounds. Also if you are spanning 3 steps most likely the middle step will function as a center support for the ramp making weight a non issue.

Hi Blondie, the ramp itself it pretty sturdy, you'll just need to make seure it's secured well so it doesnt slip under the weight.

This one is for a smaller dog. I think up to 25-30lbs but they do make ones for larger dogs too

I use this ramp with a Lab that is around 85 lbs. and it is no problem. It's pretty sturdy.

My dog is heavy (120 lbs) and about 8-9 years old. She loved jumping over the bar, but it made her arthritis worse. I read (later) that overweight dogs shouldn't do that. I didn't try any of the other stuff and I'm not sure how tall Leah is so I can't really answer for the rest of the stuff. I gave the set to a friend with a smaller dog and her dog loved it all and even slept inside the tube.

150 is a bit much. My niece, about 95 lb sat on it and the step bowed inward a little. Would recommend stairs made of something other than plastic for big dogs.

It's only a ramp. My dog might not have done the stairs but she goes right up and down this ramp. She's 16 years old and is starting to have joint problems so this was such a great find. just be patient and use treats to entice them to go up and down. You may even have to put their paws on the top of it when training them to go down it. Once they figure it out they'll do great.

I have this door and my 22-23 pound Jack Russell Terriers use it, also my sons Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, who is 70 pounds uses it. He doesn't like to use it going out, but will run right back through it. I have found my door works well for dogs up to 50-60 pounds.

It holds my 55 lb dog and 1 year old just fine. The dog doesn't jump on it though. I don't know if it would hold up to that.

It is very sturdy, but I cannot answer your question. My dog is under 50 pounds and it easily accomodates his weight.

The manufacturer recommends that it be limited to pets weighing 33 pounds or less. 60 pounds and might be too much for the way these particular steps are constructed, part of what makes this design so attractive is the cantilevered base however that same construction may concentrate too much force through the screw holes. The pitch and spacing of the steps is also sized with smaller animals in mind. My 29 pound beagle uses it fine but a bigger dog might not have enough room on them.

These steps will accommodate a pet up to 150 lbs. *Perfect for senior, disabled, post-surgery pets, and pets who suffer from hip and joint problems

I only use this to help my old dog get up the two steps from the yard to the deck. I would say though that it is too heavy and bulky to wear for any length of time. There was a black one I ordered first that was lighter but 90 lbs was the limit. They were right on because mine is 95-100 lbs and it didn't fit. Hope that helps.

My dog weighs about 14-16 pounds, at 25 pounds it may be pushing the limit on this frame, it is very, very lightweight, ideal for my dog and until properly adjusted we did have a couple of times where her body weight tipped it over on herself and she couldn't get up, was stuck in the harness, couldn't move until we got her put right again. I would go for the next size up.

I was excited when we received the steps, they are sturdy. My dog is 106 pounds, 11 years old, and has hip issues. She is scared going up and down them, we have to stand on one side, and put the other against the wall or truck door to get her to use them. My house is a raised home so she is used to stairs, but these in the open or in odd places make her nervous.

Our 14 year old Golden Retriever at 80 pounds with arthritis uses the ramp but reluctantly. It's probably sturdier than most and I like it because it's also wider than most. The difficulty is that unless you start training the dog to use the ramp at a much younger age I doubt most dogs would happily run up it. That being said it was a good purchase.

I think this is the same trouble we had in determining specs. I believe we found somewhere that the model referenced holds up to 100 lbs but I may be remembering that wrong. Whatever it is, we knew our 65 lb lab would work. Now that we have the stroller, I believe a dog that weighed maybe 10-15 lbs more would be fine. There are two issues, size wise. One is that you have to be able to push and control the 40 lb stroller with the dog weight inside. We have a lot of hills, so it's a work out going up hill. The second issue is that the dog has to fit comfortably inside. Our dog likes lots of room to spread out and she is comfortable and cozy with not a whole lot of length remaining.

The step stool was purchased for a 12lb. dog. I'm sorry but I'm unable to answer the question about a larger dog.

Kelly I don't know how high your cab is, but as for handling the weight, my dog is a 90-lb. lab mix and it supports him beautifully. I had to "ease" him up it the first time - he was a little nervous, but once he went up (treats at the top :)) he took to it and has no problem with using it at all.

Hello, I think you will be fine with this dog step, my son (90 lbs) will sit on ours and it is holding up. My dogs are smaller (Jack Russel's) and hit it full speed going into our house and after a year of abuse is still operational.
