Guest brit1 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I need to provide some way for my 55lb dog to get on and off my bed as vet has recommended he not jump on and off due to current neck/back sprain and perhaps to avoid future ones. He has slept on it for 8 years so I cannot just ban him from getting up on it plus not sure how I would sleep without him next to me Thanks for any input brit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 We made our own (for getting in and out of the SUV) out of layers of 2" Styrofoam insulation board; Liquid Nails to hold the layers together and secure some carpet pieces to the tops of the steps. Very lightweight so you would want to add some Velcro or maybe a piece of heavy plywood on the bottom so they wouldn't slide around when dog used them. Cheap and easy. The Liquid Nails takes a couple days to dry fully tho.
