My bed is 24 inches high. My Yorkie is 7pounds, Should I get 3 steps or 4 steps?

I think I'd get the four-step. My hard-sided water bed is 20-inches high, and the three-step comes about 5-inches short for my 13-pound Chihuahua-Corgi mix.

The 3 step is a little over 15 inches tall. I do not know how tall the 4 step is. We use ours for the sofa, not the bed.

It took me three weeks to teach my somewhat stubborn Chihuahua/corgi mix how to use it, but she uses it all the time now. Good luck, John

I have a mini pin whom is 7 pounds and she does great with 3 steps ... I think it depends on how high the object is you want them to get to ... I use the steps for the couch ... Hope this helps

For 24 inches the 3 step would work well. I have a 28 and the three step is a little too short but our dog manages... it's still easier than jumping the entire way.

Three steps are 15" high. I use them for my 11# Maltese to get up on an 18" love seat. I taught her to get up by using treats until she was used to it. I have different steps by my bed but I only let her come down them. My bed I'd higher than yours.

I amusing one to transition 3 steps for my Llasa Apso without the ramp being too steep. The ramp should actually reach 1 more step in height if your dog can deal with the slope angle. My dog has short legs and hip displacia forcing no more than 45 degrees

That sounds about the same size as my Yorkie and I got the 24". I wouldn't recomend a smaller one for a long trip. It would be hard for a dog to turn around or stand up to full height in a 19".

I have six dachshunds. I find that if you are using steps rather than a ramp, you must make sure the steps are deep enough. If they are too steep with shallow steps the larger dachshunds have trouble. Visuilize they must put front feet up, then follow with back feet before they move the front feet to the next step. If the step is not deep enough it is harder for them and BAD for their backs. Same with ramps, they cannot be too steep. The pet gear ramps are too steep. They can use them but it is not easy. I bought a wooden ramp that has adjustable height. That would be the very best kind of ramp.I found the Pet Gear two step up is good and works well for them as the step is 11 inches deep.

Like I did with my older dog, I "walked" her up a few times before she got it. I also had all the "love" waiting for her on my bed. Maybe try food waiting at the top of the steps. Good luck :)

The top step would be big enough for you dog. I can measure it tomorrow if needed.

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

Hi, it will go up five steps. I think your dog should be ok doing the other step. I use mine to get up the xtra cab of my pickup. I built a dog platform back there. It was too steep to go right to platform, so I hook it up to the door sill and he does the step up to the bed. Only thing is the ramp seems a little steep when I hooked it to my outdoor deck stairs. I think you will be ok, but you might have to guide your dog everytime. It will definitely be good outdoors. Some people use it as pool stairs

My doggy steps have 4 steps, reaching to just below the couch sitting level.

All 7 of my fur baby's really like this, great exercise for them. The fattest baby 18lbs. climbs like a pro doesn't really fit in the smaller of the two houses but that doesn't stop her from trying. I think your 24lb. baby will like this, also with the climbing maybe lose a pound a two, which I could do that. LOL

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.

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.

My dog is only a 3 lb yorkie. She has room to turn around but not sure how much more yours would need.

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

Pet Gear Easy Step III Extra Wide Pet Stairs, 3-step/for cats and dogs up to 200-pounds. Much sturdier and easier for large dogs, Especially with hind quarter weakness.

No. Your dog is too big for it. The steps are 4" high by 6" deep and together rise 16" Your dog is probably 16" tall and able to jump up on the furniture without the aid of stairs..
