Looking for "pet stairs" in L.A. area
My dog's birthday is Monday and I want to get her these so she can get up on the bed while I am at work. I can order them online, but she won't get them on time. Petco and Petsmart don't seem to have them in their stores.

Does anyone know where I might find these? Thanks!

1. Try this site...
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/

They have everything under the sun for cats and dogs. They have at least two kinds of steps for elderly/arthritic critters to use.

2. Are you sure she'll mind if they arrive a few days late?
Give her a lot of cake and maybe she won't care.

3. Mounting blocks are another option
We went to a tack shop and bought a simple two step mounting block. It allows the dogs to get onto the bed without having to jump. Since our buddies are getting old we thought we'd be nice to them...

4. I hate to be so dumb, but what is a mounting block? My sister's dog is
old and arthritic. We would love to find a cheap way to help her get up and down from the bed.

Thanks!

5. A mounting block is used to mount a horse
If your old and feeble like I am. :)
