After much debate in our house we decided to take the plunge and buy a set of “dog stairs” for the boys. Both dogs sleep with us in bed (don’t know how good of an idea this is) but we still do it. In the middle of the night for whatever reason without fail Sushi or Espy get up to get water, find a new chew, or just explore and end up jumping off of the bed. Espy doesn’t really have a hard time getting back up, but Sushi does and after some scratching on the side of our fancy bed, it requires one of us to wake up and physically putting him back in bed. This gets old after a while, especially since he jumps off of the bed sometimes in multiple cases during the night.
We decided we had to purchase some stairs so we started to look around and of all places we found the least expensive set at Walgreen’s ?! Who knew that the pharmacy chain would have a great set of dog stairs for only $10. The next closest thing that we could find was $30-40 at Petsmart or Petco…..
This is one of the best purchases we have made for the boys in a long time, although we are still trying to get them used to them. We think it helps with their knees/joints and it keeps us asleep….
