{"product_id":"foam-dog-stairs-washable-cover","title":"Gorse Foam Dog Stairs with Washable Cover, 2.6\" Rise, up to 60 lb","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmall dogs rarely stop jumping onto the couch. They just land worse. A dachshund or a shih tzu lands on the front legs with the spine still extended, and after enough years the landing is what does the damage, not the climb. Gorse is a set of foam dog stairs that is soft the whole way through: high-density foam, no frame, no hard edge to catch a hip on the way past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe steps are shallow on purpose. A 2.6-inch rise is low enough for short legs and old joints to take one at a time instead of hauling. The treads are wide ochre corduroy, which gives small claws something to hold, and the sides are a green-and-white ticking stripe, so it reads as a footstool rather than equipment parked beside the couch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole cover unzips and goes in the machine.

Gorse is for small and medium dogs up to 60 lb. A Labrador will compress the foam too far, and for a big dog Cascade or our wooden stairs are the better choice.
