Solvit’s PupSTEP + Plus pet stairs are an attractive, affordable way to help pets reach their favorite places. Their modern styling blends well in any décor.
Super lightweight at only 5 lbs., the unique construction of these stairs supports over 120 lbs. There is no assembly required, and they fold down for easy storage. Safety siderails are built into the design so your pet can climb up and down with confidence. Perfect size for couches or beds, and non-skid feet are included. The stairs can also be used for pets needing help into vehicles.
Although they are super-strong, the PupSTEP + Plus stairs are intended for small- to medium-sized pets, due to the size of the individual step sections.
They can be cleaned easily with mild household cleaner.
Overall product dimensions - 24 x 16 x 20 in.
CautionThe PupSTEP + Plus stairs are intended for small-medium size pets only! Not intended for human use or for carrying heavier loads. Please follow this guideline strictly!
Assembly- Step one - Position the back leg in the “locked” position: Simply swing out the back leg section (which is folded under the main stair section) until both of the “locking tabs” are engaged in their respective windows in the “locking rib” section. To ease the engagement of the locking tab into the window, press down gently on the “button” on the locking tab arm.
- Step two - Attach stair treads: There should be four adhesive-backed tread covers included with your stairs. Working one step at a time, peel the white paper backing off each tread piece and press firmly into the recessed area on each plastic step. Hold pressure for a few seconds before moving to the next piece. Repeat until all four tread pieces are installed. Your stairs should now look like the image on the carton.
- Step three - Attach non-slip feet (optional): Attach the non-slip feet only if the stairs will be used on a slick surface, such as wood flooring. Peel the backing from each piece and press firmly into the recessed area at the corners on the underside of the stairs. Repeat for all four corners.
TrainingMany pets will take to the stairs immediately, while others will require patience and gradual training. Try placing treats on the steps to encourage your pet to climb. Covering the stairs with something familiar, like a favorite blanket with treats placed on top can also help pets overcome their hesitation. If your pet becomes anxious while training, take some time off and let them learn to use the steps at their own pace.
StorageThe PupSTEP + Plus can be re-folded into the closed position for storage or travel. To do this, simply press the release “button” located on both locking tabs located on the upper part of the back leg.
CleaningPromptly wipe up any foreign matter or liquid with a damp cloth or sponge.
