Thanks for your reply. What a clever idea!! I think my husband and I might need to get a bit creative with it. Might even be able to make something from bunnings! Good idea with the pieces of wood as well :)

Thanks, I have seen the ramps. How does that work on a bed though? Would it need to sit on top of the mattress? I've got a ramp up my bed for henry :) I didnt buy it, in fact its just my agility contact training mini aframe that's being used as a ramp, but i have it tucked in between the bed frame and my mattress. so the mattress goes over it a tiny bit. So it is a step at the top of the ramp, but just mattress height. And i have it at the end of my bed and dont notice a thing. Though the ramp itself at that point is only ~2cm thick. Thanks, thats a good idea to tuck it in between the bed and the mattress!

Excuse me, but I find this extremely offensive and rude. She could jump on our old bed with ease - a normal height bed. We now have a bed that is 1m high and is very high for a dog that would jump up multiple times a day and would not be very good for their joints to be doing that over and over again. We are trying to help her and to save her legs in the future as well, knowing she is a labrador and prone to hip/leg problems. We exercise our dog everyday and feed her exactly what the guidelines say and the vet is happy with her weight and she is a very active dog.So if you don't mind you can keep your rude comments to yourself unless you have something helpful to say.

Hello, hoping you can help! We have a labrador who is 5 years old but we have just bought a high bed that she now struggles to get up on. We want to save her legs from future problems as well so looking to buy some steps that she can use. We preferably want foldable ones so we can put away when guests come over. I bought one from an online store that said it could handle up to 50kgs - our dog is approx 37kg. As soon as she stepped on it, it broke, very lucky she didnt hurt herself :/ I am now struggling to find any other ones that look like it could handle her weight, sturdy enough to not tilt sideways if she steps on the edge and that is not too steep either. Does anyone have any suggestions where I could find one? Thanks :)
