Product Description
The Safe and Convenient Way To Get Your Dog Into Your Car, SUV, Van, Truck, Trailer, RV Camper and more!
Although they’re intended for animals, most pet stairs are designed with humans in mind, not dogs. Shallow stair depths fail to accommodate the wide space between a dog’s front and back legs, while insecure platforms make it difficult for animals to climb safely or comfortably.
Keep Your Furry Friend Safe and Comfortable with Dog Stairs from Pet Loader!
Endorsed by vets, groomers and trainers
Pet Loader can fit any vehicle from a small sedan to a large semi truck & can also be used for beds, couches, grooming, vet tables and more. Be sure to choose the right size for your needs! Multiple size options available! Measure before purchasing to ensure proper fit!
**Stock is limited, 10% restocking fee applied on returns.
PET LOADER WAS DESIGNED FOR YOUR DOG'S SAFETY AND COMFORT. IT IS THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND SAFEST OPTION ON THE MARKET.

VET APPROVED & DESIGNED FOR SAFETYSpecially designed for dogs, these steps are approved by veterinarians, trainers and groomers and are used in hospitals and rehab centers around the country! Why? -Stair depth of at least 11” accommodates the wide space between a dog’s front and back legs. -Solid, carpeted stair surface doesn’t snag, bounce or move under weight or movement! Nylon or fabric stairs, without a solid stair surface do not provide secure footing. -Wider and more stable than a ramp, allowing older, handicapped or injured dogs to climb with comfort and confidence. -Gentle incline puts less stress on a dog’s joints, easing pain and protecting against injury. -Reduces Anxiety, instilling confidence. Dogs instinctively know how to use it. |
VERSATILE & EASY TO USEPet owners love our stairs because they can use them anywhere!
|
EASILY FOLDED, CARRIED & STOREDWith it's smartly engineered design, these stairs are comfortable to carry and easy to set up! They feature our patented latch system, which ensures stability with every use. For added convenience, they fold down into a compact size. You can conveniently pick them up and move them to another vehicle or area. When not in use, they’re super-easy to store. Keep them in the trunk of your car or under the bed for quick access when your pet needs them most. |
PREMIUM QUALITY CONSTRUCTION & SERVICEWe care about your pet’s safety just as much as you do! That’s why our stairs are made in the USA with the highest quality, rugged materials. Each set is incredibly durable and can withstand heavy-duty use. As a result, you and your dog can count on Pet Loader for years to come. |
SIZING CHART: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MODEL FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Choose The Number Of Steps For The Height Of Your Vehicle:Measure before buy to ensure proper fit! Pet Loader offers 3,4, and 5 step models to accommodate any height. Measure from the pavement to where your pet will enter (cargo floor, seat, truck bed, rear entry, etc.), then see height chart below. |
Choose The Width:Pet Loader models come in 12," 14.5," 16," or 18" widths. Choose width based on the space where the Pet Loader will need to fit and your dog's comfort level. All widths will work for rear entry use. |
For Side Entry Use:With the platform resting on the seat,
The 12˝ Mini will fit MOST side entry vehicle doors. The 14.5" Ultra-Light will fit SOME side door vehicles. The Lite 16" or XL 18" MAY fit in the side entry of some large SUVs. |
Factory Installed Wheels Available:Factory installed wheels allow you to roll Pet Loader for easily mobility. If you would like wheels to be installed on your Pet Loader, be sure to order from the listing that has "with wheels" listed in the title. To find the listing with wheels, use the Amazon search bar to type which Pet Loader you are looking for and add "with wheels." Ex. Pet Loader Mini 12" with wheels |
CHOOSING A LOADER BASED ON DOG BREED OR SIZE, RECOMMENDATIONS HIGHLIGHTED:
|
|
|
---|---|---|
FOR SMALL DOGSFor small dogs, such as the toy breeds, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu, Toy Poodles, Pugs, Pomeranians, and Maltese, the Pet Loader Mini (12") works perfectly. The smaller platform of the Pet Loader Mini dog stairs will work for them in almost every situation. |
FOR MEDIUM TO LARGE DOGSFor medium to large dogs, we recommend the Pet Loader Ultra Light (14.5") or Pet Loader Light (16") for rear entry use. The 16″ platform of the Pet Loader light will accommodate almost every breed, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Bulldogs, Pointers, and Huskies. These breeds typically weigh less than 150 pounds. For those that are over 150 pounds we recommend the Pet Loader XL. |
FOR EXTRA LARGE DOGSFor extra large dogs, we recommend the Pet Loader XL. These include Mastiffs, Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Bernese Mountain Dogs & Saint Bernards. These dogs because of their size and weight should be using the Pet Loader XL with its 18″ platform. All dogs that weigh over 150 pounds or that are built with a wider girth should use the wider, more rugged Pet Loader XL. |
CHOOSING THE NUMBER OF STAIRS AND EXTENSION HEIGHT:
|

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought this July 25th, 2022. I did a ton of research before deciding on this product. I saw all the other similar products on Amazon with all the fake reviews and horribly photoshopped pictures. Yes, they are cheaper but the build quality and the few real reviews were a turnoff. This device I decided on because its made in the US and it looks durable as well as wider so it does not scare my dog. This company has also put a few youtube videos up showing exactly how it works.
The main device is a strong plastic with some carpet on the top for their paws. The sides are metal which you lock into place to stabilize the stairs. You can lay it out longer so they have shorter steps or you can do it shorter so so they have a bit higher to step but its easy to modify depending on where you are and how much space you have.
I own a highlander and my dog just can't jump in the back anymore like he use to. He just hit that age that does not allow him to. It broke my heart but I wanted to still take him everywhere so I searched and found this. I decided to buy it even with a price tag that is hefty compared to the competition but build quality is super important to me and the wider stairs makes my dog comfier with the situation. When it arrived it was already put together. The 4 stairs is perfect for getting in the back of my highlander. I don't know why anyone would need one that goes higher unless its a raised truck. I did read in a few reviews if you want to extend it they company can sell you extra stairs and directions on how to attach it to make it bigger seems easy enough and one of the reviewers said it was easy as pie.
My dog at first was not sure how to go up it, but I kinda guided him with his leash and he figured it out. He has absolutely no problems going up it even when he is super tired after a long walk or swim. This thing is a blessing and honestly, if it makes my guy happy and life better for him its worth it. It is well made and setting it up takes less than 10 minutes. It is pretty lightweight and has handles that make it easy.
Overall 10/10 great build, easy to set up, light, and it made my dog's life a lot easier.
The design is well thought out and easy to use. A step can be added or removed if you buy a new vehicle with a different height bed. I am a middle aged woman and I have no problem lifting the stairs into and out of the car/truck or with use. Quick and simple to use. I had recently given up on the idea of ever having large dogs again (100LB plus...) but this product changes everything. I no longer worry about my inability to lift a 110 lb dog into and out of the vehicle. Wish I had known about these stairs years ago.
The customer service with the company is top notch! My loader came out of the box with a bent locking arm. I contacted the company and they immediately sent me a set, even though only one was damaged. It's very easy to take apart.
The only issue I have is with the weight, it is heavy. Not something you're just going to throw around. I need to place it on the ground to raise the loader, I'm not able to hang onto it and throw it out as they demonstrate on their website.
