PetSTEP™ dog ramps has engineered a new non-slip surface of rubberized
material, solving the problems of moisture, mildew and odors that
carpet causes. After extensive testing, by a team from San Jose
State University, we know that a side rail of 1 ½ " is optimal to
prevent a pet from slipping sideways. Test results indicate that a
higher side rail is a danger to the pet, in the event of a misstep,
safely clearing the side rail.
We strongly recommend that you start your pet on a PetSTEP™ dog
ramp from a very young age as damage is done each and every time a
pet is forced to jump up or down from a difficult height. Ask any veterinarian and they will
tell you that this is so. Don’t wait until your pet is injured,
arthritic or displays signs of dysplasia start now.
