PetSafe CozyUp Folding Steps

The verdict

Steps built for real dogs rather than lap dogs. Twenty-five inches of total height across wide steps with replaceable carpeted treads, side rails and non-skid feet, rated by PetSafe to 200 pounds, and folding flat for storage — which is what lets them move from the bedroom to the car and back. The replaceable tread covers are a quietly good design decision, because the carpet is the part that wears and the part that gets soiled. Owners report dogs using them easily and appreciate the height for tall beds, with two consistent complaints: they can slide on hardwood, and some find them narrow. Put a rug or a rubber mat under the feet if your floors are slick, and place them firmly against the furniture so there is no gap at the top for a paw to find.

Drawbacks

• Slides on polished hardwood without a mat underneath
• Some owners find the treads narrow for wide dogs

What the listing says

• Rated to 200 lb, so genuinely usable by big dogs
• Replaceable carpeted treads — the part that wears is renewable
• Folds flat to move between rooms or into a car
