Dog Stairs For Cars Give Dash A “Leg Up” When Getting Into Our Truck
With legs slightly under six inches tall, getting in our SUV or truck means that Dash The Basset is responsible for his front while I pick up the hind legs and heft him into the vehicle. It’s embarrassing to say the most – for both of us. It also gets us laughed at whenever we’re seen in public.
But, a set of pet loader dog stairs for the car has put an end to that! These delightful contraptions actually fold out and become individual stairs. Dash is then able to just walk right up the dog stairs into the car. No more effort than using the dog stairs to climb into bed.
Dash has a deformed front leg; Since using these pet stairs for our SUV, I’ve noticed that he doesn’t limp when getting out of the vehicle any longer. That’s a huge win!
Dog stairs come in a few different types – there are ones covered in fabric, wooden sets, and others that are metal. I vastly prefer the metal variety as they seem to be sturdier than the cloth types. But, depending on the size of your dog, the less expensive cloth-covered dog stairs may work well.

Pet loader dog stairs for cars come in different heights and weight specification so make sure you get the size for the vehicle in which your dog will be riding.
Also, just a word of warning: a lot of dogs won’t willingly go up steps which have no backs, like the metal pet loader dog stairs shown here. In that case, the fabric dog stairs might be a better bet.
