what is the depth of each step. I have read that many of these are too shallow for the dog to trust stepping into it. thanks

the depth of each step is 9inches in depth by 6inches high and 16 inches wide. I will tell you from our personal experience our very intelligent Bull Mastiff (160lbs)refuses to use it. while our smaller pitpei(Shar-pei mixed with pitbull 70 lbs) loves it!!! I hope this is helpful.

Each step is approximately 6 inches. My one dog runs up and down the stairs. The unit is very sturdy.

8" deep - 16" across I have small dogs and none of them have a problem with the steps. I would think it would be plenty deep for even a larger dog and I think it holds weights up to 150lbs. There is a slight tilt down of the steps but it has never affected my dogs running up and down it at full speed. Hope this helps

The step is very close to the top with hardly any depth. The steps going up were intimidating at first for my pug but after about two trips he bounces right up the steps to the bed.

Each step is 7.5" from front to back (start of next step). Our 20lb Jack Russel / Chihuahua sometimes sits on the steps and over time she has been using the stairs more and more. I can't comment if these are good for bigger dogs but definitely good for her size.

I measured: The depth is 8 3/4".My 11 year old Terrier was trained to it in less than 5 days. I used Low Fat/Salt Bologna. (LOL). She uses it now without prompting or treats 100% of the time. Got it because my bed is 32" high & I was getting really concerned how the jumping was affecting her joints. Very easy to assemble. Very happy I made the purchase.

The height between each step is 6". Your small dogs may have problems with this stair. Also, there are no risers, which is an important consideration for very small dogs.

I have an 8 yr old Shih tzu that can go in & out with no problem. I also had a bigger dog, so the step-over had to be higher, but still my Shih Tzi jumps right through it, no problem. My shih tzu is younger than your little guy, so I'm not sure how he'd do with the stepover. My Mom's little Pekingese has shorter legs & refuses to use it, so I have to leave my slider open slightly if we leave. So it's just gonna depend on how agile your cocker is. It's nice, but it was HARD to install. My brother is a builder & he did it for me. It IS a great door tho.

Dear Jill, The steps (treads, Landings) are 6 inches deep. The Rise of each step is 4 inches. My top step is 6.5 inches. I have small Yorkies and even at 8 weeks old they can manage the steps. I hope this was helpful. Joyce

I have the 2 step ramp...dimensions are exact, very sturdy and easy to use! I like it and it looks nice, like a piece of furniture, took my terrier a while to trust using it (super stubborn) but he figured it out. Cats love it too! My bed is high also, that's what I got it for...good luck! Ps: I have a yorkie if that helps

The steps are not as steep as I thought they would be. I think they would be fine. I have two small terriers, they weight about 10 lbs and they use them well. These ones I bought are taller than the other steps but they are the same in relation to the angle of the steps. Just and FYI. If you open these and they don't work, go back to your order on Amazon and print out a return label. They give free return at the time you send them back but may charge you shipping once they refund your money due to the problem not being one their end. I bought two of these by mistake and sent one back no problem. I think these would be just fine for your baby. They are not too steep and are spread out pretty well.

I am not sure if the steps are good for your dog or not. My dog is a small German Shepherd who can no longer jump into our vehicle. She weighs about 55 lbs. which is below what the steps are rated at. The snap together design of the steps did not hold together when she would run up them. Maybe if I had glued it together but I did not. All I can say is to use your own judgment. I did not like how it went together.

We have a dog about that same weight. He did not like to use these steps because of the sloped steps. I don't think your cat's weight would be any problem, but I don't know how cats feel (psychologically) about going up/down sloped steps. As for dimensions, they're 17" deep, 14" wide, but the height varies, For the first step, the front edge is 5" high and the back edge is 6.5" high. The top step is 11.5" at the front edge and 13" high at the back. Hope this helps!

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.

The bottom two treads are 7¾" deep. There is no real noticeable overlap. There is a stop attached to the back of each step so the dog does not slip through. The top step is almost 9" deep, it has no stopper on it.

I personally wouldn't recommend this product for a dog that size. It is advertized for "small to medium" dogs. The steps are shallow (four total), and I'm not sure if it would slide or tip under that much weight. Although this "may" work for your dog, I would recommend spending your money on a product that is engineered & designed for large dogs. Also, if you read the negative reviews on this product, you'll see that a common theme is that it is inadequate for larger dogs. Hope this helps.

Each step is 7" wide. Our pit bull can go up the stairs, but I don't think our bullmastiff could without stumbling, as she is a lot bigger than the PupStep is.

The steps were high enough to reach the sofa; that wasn't the problem. The problem was that my dog wouldn't use them no matter what I did, treats, etc., he just wouldn't use the steps. And I need him to b/c he won't jump off the sofa by himself! He'll jump on, but he won't jump off. He's an old mini-poodle w/arthritis so I thought the steps would be an answer but they're not!

5 inches. Mine broke almost immediately, the brace in back disconnected from the rest of the unit. Also, the dogs were afraid of it because the backs of the step risers kept falling out. Maybe try a plush one, they seem to be more pet friendly.

Hi Tracy, The stairs are 10" wide and 5" deep. I have the 5 step stairs by my bed and the 3 step stairs by my sofa. They look nice, clean easily and are very sturdy. My Lhasa, Boston Terrier and 35 lb. big pug have no problem navigating the stairs to get onto my bed. Yep.....all three sleep with me at night. Hope this helps. Good luck, Lana

Steps are 5 1/4" deep and 10" wide (inside measurement). My mini doxies have no problem using the steps. My standard doxie refuses to use it. too steep for him. the steps are very sturdy and have held up well. I hope this helps with your decision.
