The Pupy™ – JointGuard Aluminum Steps

Extra-Wide Pet Stairs — Built for Comfort, Engineered for Stability

More than just a ramp — this is a joint-care solution for the dog you love. The 4-step design is wider and more stable than a standard incline ramp, spreading your dog's weight evenly with every step to ease pressure on the front and back legs. It's the ideal choice for short-legged breeds, senior dogs, or pets recovering from injury or mobility issues — giving them the confidence to climb up and down safely, without you needing to lift a thing.

Premium Build, Serious Weight Capacity

Each step is crafted from rust-resistant, high-grade metal reinforced with extra load bars, supporting up to 250 lbs. The foam-wrapped handle adds a secure grip while protecting your car's trunk from scratches — a small detail that makes a big difference in everyday use. Thoughtfully designed to be a gift-worthy piece that genuinely protects your pet's joints and knees.

Safety First, Every Step of the Way

A non-slip paw-print surface keeps paws secure while climbing, and the rubber base grips the ground even on slick surfaces. The upgraded carabiner tether locks the stairs securely to your vehicle, giving your dog double the protection with every use.

Lightweight, Foldable, Ready to Travel

At just 13 lbs, this aluminum-frame stair set folds down to a compact 17 × 13 × 6 inches — easy to tuck into your trunk or closet without eating up space. Whether it's a road trip, a camping weekend, or a quick vet visit, it's built to go wherever you go.

One Stair, Endless Uses

Perfect for cars, SUVs, trucks, minivans, beds, couches, or the grooming table — this stair set adapts to nearly any height and setup, including select side-entry vehicles. A simple, versatile essential for every dog parent.

The Pupy™ — thoughtfully designed accessories for the dogs who go everywhere with you.

Worth it

Sturdy and well made. I bought a set off Facebook marketplace that were no where near as good. Decided to give these a try and glad I did. These are solid steps. Light weight, and have plenty of height to get my doggo into my lifted pick up. For comparison by floor board is about 34 inches off the ground. So obviously if you have a truck on 37 or 40s you may need something else.

We really appreciate your review! Thank you for choosing The Pupy!

Stable and durable!

Worth the money! I’ve tried two different ramps and stairs but this one is stable enough for my dog to walk up without getting nervous. The extra wide stairs are perfect if you have a larger dog. For reference my dog is about 95 lbs and 11 years old. Before this I thought he would never get in the car again. These stairs are sturdy is so much better for his joints.

Hi there! Thanks so much for your wonderful review! Wishing you many safe and happy adventures together! 🐾

Excellent solution !

Great ! My 10 yo GSD walked right up it and into her crate. Sturdy, well-made, stable, good traction on the rigid steps. She’s still roadworking 6 miles/day at a trot, but the jump up into the van isn’t as easy as it used to be. At only 13 lbs, it’s easy to manage and folds up to a compact size, easy to store.

Thank you for your kind words! We truly appreciate your support!

Fantastic Stairs for Defender 110

I bought this stairs for my Land Rover Defender 110 2026 model. I have two Golden Retrievers who will be using these stairs to get in and out through the back. My 9 year old Golden has no trouble and was not afraid of these stairs at all. She went right up and down them with no trouble. My younger 3 year old field Golden is pretty scared of the stairs. Working with him and some cheese to get him more comfortable and we’re definitely getting there. They fold up so easily. I could do it one handed if necessary. They are very secure and stable. The grip is fantastic, no worry about them slipping. It’s a great quality product for the size and price. I like the foam handles so as to not scratch your car. I have mine extended all the way out but I love how adjustable they are. Definitely would recommend these! They fit great with my Defender and it’s going to make getting in and out of the car so easy for my dogs!

Great for my old dogs

These stairs have been amazing for both my dogs who are getting older and can’t jump into the car anymore. It’s also saved my back from having to lift them. Both of my dogs are are around 80 pounds and I have back issues so I can’t really lift them into my SUV. These stairs are easy to use took a bit for one of my dogs to get used to it but now he goes up and down no problem problem

Thanks so much for your feedback! We designed these stairs to make every trip easier and more comfortable, so we're delighted they're doing exactly that.

Subaru Outback Approved

Works great with the 2025 Subaru Outback! Sturdy! Our 100lb lab/pit mix walks up them just fine! They collapse into a small pack and have two straps that Velcro together to keep it closed while not in use!

We're thrilled you're happy with your purchase! Thank you for trusting The Pupy to be part of your adventures with your best friend. 🐾

Best dog stairs for high SUV's. NOTE: They will not work for cars or small SUV's - see photo

These are the best dog stairs you can get. They work very well for my dog who can no longer jump into my SUV. They fold and unfold really well. I weigh 125lbs and walked up and down them with no issues, they were very stable. The non-slip top is great. I was able to train my dog on using them in a matter of minutes. Additionally, they work well for my high SUV, unlike others that are too low.

Your review truly made us smile! Thank you for your support, and we hope you and your pup enjoy many more memorable road trips together.

Best investment for my 2 XL dogs

The media could not be loaded.









I have a 100 lbs 14 year old pitbull who is too heavy for me to lift up into my jeep. I also have a 110lbs 4 year old Canary Mastiff. These stairs were one of the best dog investments I’ve ever made and I have been using this regularly for the past year. They are light weight in comparison to other stairs, compact when they are folded up, strong enough to withstand the weight of both of my large dogs, and they even have foam to cover the metal portion that rests on the vehicle when in use to prevent scratches. You can also control the incline to make the stairs as steep or spread out as necessary, depending on the needs and size of dog you have. To me, they are as easy to use as a fold-up lawn chair and weigh about the same as well. You’ll want to teach your dog how to use the stairs so they feel confident climbing up and down them.Do not let the price scare you away. These stairs are well worth the money and I would buy them again if needed.

You need this one! Will buy Again!

Great for easy use, for LARGE DOGS 100 lbs on average, sturdy, light weight, STABLE when in use. Loving these with my 2 big dogs. Best steps I've ever purchased. My dogs love them, and my dogs hated the old ramp and would jump off. These steps STOPPED all that stress of climbing straining the hips. This is easy on the joints, all joints. see pics.

We're so grateful for your support! Wishing you and your pup many comfortable, safe, and happy adventures ahead.

Could not be happier! My dog can travel again!

Finally found a way to get our Saint Bernard in my SUV to go get a bath!! I’ve tried so many steps and ramps, all have been too flimsy to hold her and not wide enough. These stairs are awesome! The pads are high-quality with good anti-slip material, the stairs are super easy to unfold and setup, and they’re as small as a carry-on suitcase to take with us in the car. THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for your amazing review! We couldn't be happier knowing our stairs have become part of your travels. Happy adventures! 🐾

Golden Retriever Loves These Steps

Our 10 year old Golden Retriever is over 100 pounds and has arthritis. We couldn't get him in the car easily and he resisted. These steps are great. They are sturdy but lightweight and easy for me (a small female) to manage. They fold up easily for storage in the car. He willingly goes into the car by himself now!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We appreciate your trust in The Pupy and hope your pup enjoys countless adventures ahead. 🐾

Light weight & Sturdy!

These stairs are the BEST! Light weight and sturdy. So easy to open and close & they fold flat. They support a 90lb boxer with bad back legs. She goes up and down easily which makes car trips so much easier. I also use them inside for her to get up on the bed. Totally worth it!

Thank you for being part of The Pupy family! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying your purchase, and we wish you and your pup many happy travels together.

Hound Approved!

Quality built, very easy to open and set up. Used some treats and my Walker Coon Hound Tyler ran right up. Perfect for after our walks on trails when he is too tired to jump into Jeep. My bumper is 32" high and these stairs could handle higher or lower.

Great material

Excellent quality, easy to handle and really cool for senior dogs. Unfortunately my car does not open that wide and couldn’t fit but it’d work perfectly for the trunk.

Sturdy!

These stairs are perfect for my older dog, once he got the hang of them he’s been using them ever since. I’m very grateful and peace of mind is worth the price.
