We own 4 of these. Two at the base of the bed (they are back to back) and two in another area, also back to back. It all started in 2005 when our senior cat had difficulty getting on the bed and onto the kitchen counter where her food was kept so the dog could not get at it.
After she passed and we rescued a mother cat and her 4 kittens we found they enjoyed playing on the steps as well as using them. The only problem is that the faux fleece does not hold up well unless you keep your cat's claws clipped. They are not to be used like a cat tree, of which our cats have 8, but they still like the feel of the fleece and it tears easily, making them look quite tattered and not easily repairable. They are very sturdy and the width would work well for a senior dog as well as a cat. I would not recommend the steps that use faux fur instead of the fleece as it is quite slippery feeling and might frighten the pet. We tried the faux fur material with our senior cat and had to donate it.I wouldn't hesitate to buy these steps again. Note: If you want the steps to fit flush when they are back to back instead of having a 1" gap at the top, buy one of each size - one 3 step and one 4 step.
