My dog has cancer and can no longer get up the 3 front steps of my apartment building. Would this work for the stairs? Is it light enough to carry?

Our dog is an older girl. We use it to help her get up into the back seat of the truck. she doesn't like the feel of the ramp plus the newness but will still use it with some guidance. I would think it would work well for your three steps.

Ideally you'd want to fasten the ramp to something with the strap but I manage by placing my foot at the bottom and holding the top part with my hand to stabilize as the dog walks up.If you're talking about bringing the ramp as you walk your dog, you'd probably want to use some sort of backpack - it's really not handy to carry for any significant distance.

Yes it should work since it is adjustable it shouldn't be to difficult to use on stairs.

The weight is fairly light considering it's size, but I would not use it to carry a dog to the vet. I would get a soft-sided carrier for that. With a dog inside, it would be too awkard to lift without tossing the doggie all around and it's just too big to be very mobile. It also doesn't have a good way to lift it besides sticking your fingers in the wire mesh and the tray bottom is designed to slide out one side, so if you move it around too much, the tray will slide out. They're not desinged to be mobile carriers. I have mine in a bedroom and it never moves. We have a carrier with a long strap as well as short handles to tote the dog to and from the vet.

This carrier is WAY too flimsy for transporting an animal on public transportation. It's fine for your home. It's fine for transporting a dog to an obedience/agility trial; put it on a cart; you will not be able to carry it by the handle bcs it will too heavy with the pet inside. It probably is ok for transporting your pet in the car, but bungee it down for safety. I use mine for naps and overnights at home. mb

Yes, it's very easy to use. The canister follows great and it's super light to carry up and down stairs.

you'll be able to get it up the stairs no problem. make sure you have it next to your bed frame, when you cut the packaging it's going to expand quickly

This should work great for your dogs. It's narrow, but tall. Our older (16) dog loves these steps. She's heavier than your dogs, but these are great for her.

It's light and can be carried easily -- not more than 10 lbs. Going up narrow steps is a bit awkward.

We lift and move ours all the time, no problem. But it's kind of an awkward shape to carry up & down a long staircase. Maybe if you did it all the time you'd get used to it - I don't know.

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.

Your dog is probably taller than these stairs so I would say no. Plus they are not made for large dogs.

Hi, yes it works great. I live on the second floor but I use the elevator. I put kitty litter and pilled to the top. I cannot say about stairs but its pretty sturdy.

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.

Not unless you are carrying it. The wheels are not sturdy enough to hold it by the handle and "drag" it up. You would have to lift it over the stairs. The bag and frame are good, Just not the wheels

It's not particularly heavy. A lot of it is heavy duty plastic. Its well made and sturdy but not that heavy. I carry it up stairs easily but it probably isn't as light as some of those cheaper brands.

It is lightweight. You will not have problem lifting. I have taken it upstairs myself.

This is a very basic no frills, no attachments, vac. But it is only 10 pounds. So you should be able to use it on steps.
