I have a roughly 60lbs Lab/Chow mix. Does anyone else have a dog around this size that handles well these steps?

I wouldn't buy these steps for a 60 lb. dog, they are made of flimsy plywood and I doubt these would hold up. Mine came broken in the box.

I have a 60-65 pound Lab/Pit mix who used these steps fine for years. The steps were a gift, otherwise I might have gotten something rated for a bigger dog, but they worked great for my pup. My 150 pound friend using it as a stool did it in. I'm here to buy another one!

Hi my dog is 35 lbs and can handle these stairs. The down side is that I have hard wood floors and the stairs slip so you would need to secure the stairs. It appears to be aable to handle your size dog but I would contact the seller.

I don't think the steps will be wide enough or deep enough, you might be better with a ramp! My dogs are only 50 and 70 lbs and they have trouble with the depth of the steps, although it is sturdy it is built more for a smaller dog.

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.

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.

I have a West Highland Terrier who weights 20 lbs. with short legs. He just fits. It's shallow, so I don't think a dog with long legs would be able to sit down very 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.

My dog is a Chow Chow and weighs approx 45 lbs. He fits perfectly when curled up inside.I would not recommend this size house for a dog larger than 50 lbs. Otherwise, this house is good quality, I'm happy with the purchase and I can endorse this product.

I'm not sure this is the buy for you. My dog is only 9lb and I had to rebuild the steps! They are too narrow and too flimsy for a big dog! Try the ramp instead.

They would be great. The steps are shallow enough, large, and spaced so that they won't strain a longer built dog's back. They are wide and very stable so the dog will feel secure. They won't move when the dog goes up or down. If the dog feels secure, they will be more willing to use them. Although they are expensive, they're very well made and I'm glad I got them instead of the cheaper, flimsy types.

You might have an issue with the straps if they are they are too active. So far no problems for me. M y puppy is weighing in at 60+ lbs and he is almost 6 month as old. I have found it to be very durable.

yes - while I have smaller dogs - the steps are very sturdy - I am very pleased with the Stairs

My Pitt Mix is 70lbs and there was no problem with her on the steps. They are quite deep and she went up them so fast she was probably on them for 20seconds or less. Then she just jumped onto the couch. They also worked great for my car because ramps didn't work on my sedan. These steps rested on the seat. I did put a small rug under the foot portion because it was on the driveway. I am so happy with these steps. I wish I knew about them sooner. My dog is 10 years old.

I have a 50 pound Shepard/poodle mix and she does fine with it! Has since she was a puppy.

I have two 16 month old black labs (85 and 90 lbs). They have done fine in it. It does seem to feel more flimsy than our smaller ones but I think that is just because of the height of the kennel. The latch has to be secured with a wire though on the one we use all the time..they paw at it and have been known to get out. My metal tray (which is why we bought it) is about 2 inches shorter than what I think it should be. Had to anchor it so that the dogs could not paw at rug that was beneath 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.

I have a lab/pointer mix (80lbs). Bowls are plenty big for food and water! Dog enjoys the stand very much. Good investment!
