My dog likes to look out the window. Is the top step big enough for a small (15 lb.) dog to rest on?

To respond further - these are the wooden steps I bought for the bedroom - THREE STEP - Fold-Away Pet Steps and Ramp in One. The color is just fine! It folds and slips under the bed if you want to tidy it away. Nice piece of furniture!

yes but the top step is angled down towards the two bottom steps, so i would put a blanket on the top step for added comfort

The top step is about 16"x9" which is probably large enough. The carpet gives some security because it it not slippery. It would depend on whether your dog would feel secure with the slight forward slant of the step.

Yes, a small dog would be fine perched on this set of steps. I use this one in my Toyota SUV and turn it upside down in the space made by folding up the back passenger seat, which then turns it into a nice shopping catchall! I cannot lift my lab into the SUV, when I travel without my husband! Downside is that the steps on this slope slightly, so your dog will not be sitting on a completely flat surface. It looks pretty utilitarian, but is compact, lightweight and easy to carry. I bought a folding, wooden set of steps fro Amazon for the bedroom, so my dog can climb on the bed. Now that is a seriously good looking piece of furniture, but takes up space! Yes, a small dog would be fine perched on this set of steps.

It is sturdy but I dont think stepping on the side would hold up if lots of pressure is put on it. Strap is plenty long. My Shih tzu is 12.4 pounds and she has room to lay down in it. She also puts her paws on the side to look out window and we have had no problems. This is a great seat.

Yes. There's a tether strap that attaches to the dog's collar. You adjust it so it's short so the dog can't jump out of the seat. My puppy enjoys sitting high and being able to look out the window.

No. In fact I wish u could because there's a metal brace around the front part to help hold it open that makes the top part a little heavy. My bed's opening isn't very wide at all and the heaviness of the bar scares my dog when it lays on him. Maybe if your dog is bigger than a chihuahua it won't be an issue but mine (a chihuahua and bulldog) both refuse to go near it. If I could take off the top I might could at least use it as a pillow bed for them.

My dog is 16 pounds and loves it, however it does not sit really close to the window, so I'm not sure that your dog will be able to put his/her head out the window. My dog loves it because it holds him up high enough to see out in all directions. Hope this helps you.

Yes, depending on the size of the dog of course. I use it with my 15lb dog and he has no problems. His nails don't puncture it even when he climbs all over the edges. His favorite seat is perched at the front, on top of the spray cover. He's jumped off it before without problems or scratches. I do keep an outside blanket (with plastic on the back) to line the floor for him to sit on, just to be careful.

Yes. The folds make it quite sturdy, for a small dog anyway. It's not very high so an animal that is a jumper may go right over it. We have a toy Husky and he does not jump over it.

I have a small med size dog he weighs 22lbs. Datschun, jack Russell mix. He loves the bed. The issue I have is the top doesn't stay arched.

If you are buying the lid with it, it may be too small. He might be able to see over the top of it a bit while sitting up but laying down theres plwnty of space. I bought mine for my dogs when I wasnt homw because they would destroy the house. My chibuahua climbed right out of it and my dachson mix with lab would jump right out. After training them to stay in, they are fine but at first they would get out of it.

Actually, let me clarify my answer... Mine is at the top of my stairs, so being that the gate is on the edge, with a gap to the next step, I'm thinking of it that way. Yes, a dog could fit his nose under and slide down to the next step. However... If it's on the flat floor with level space on either side, it would be difficult to fit under.

Yes. My poodle is about 15 pounds and she can put her feet up on it but can't get over it. If they are jumpers they might could get over it but it is pretty high.

My 13 pound kitty fits up there just fine. She either perches on it to look out the window or curls up and sleeps up there.

I think it would be strong enough; I'm not sure if 2-15 lb dogs would be comfortable. Mine are 7 and 9 lbs, just fit nicely.

In a word, no. My window insert is 15" high and 10" wide ... which is perfect for my shih tzu and my havanese.

If the SUV is not too tall, be sure to measure everthing before buying. Also, it would depend upon how big the pet is and what kind of surface the step is sitting on. If a smaller dog and on a surface that would not let the steps "kick out" from the bottom, then my answer would be Yes. The larger the dog, the faster he is going up the steps, and if the surface is slick enough to allow the steps to "skootch" out from under the dog, then No. I hope I have helped rather than make it more confusing.

My nine pound dog can see out the side window and front windshield. I have bucket seats in the front and it is too far away for him to stick his head out, unless he would stand and lean toward the window. I don't think that would be a safe option.

Yes I would say he could. How tall is he when he is sitting. If he is about the size of my 9 week old Boston Terriers he can see out the window. 18"L x 14"W x 11"H
