Most online pet stairs in Australia ship from overseas warehouses, which is why "fast delivery" usually means six weeks. Ours don't. We hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses and dispatch within 1-2 business days. Pet stairs from $40.
What pet stairs do I need?
Match the stairs to the height your pet needs to reach. Bed stairs are usually 2-3 steps for beds around 50-60cm high. Couch stairs are shorter, 2 steps, for sofa access. Car stairs and ramps help large or senior dogs into utes and SUVs. Choose stairs over ramps for small breeds; ramps over stairs for arthritic dogs.

What most pet stair sites won't admit
Almost every pet stair sold online in Australia is imported from China or Vietnam — including ours. The real difference isn't where they're made; it's what happens after they land. Marketplaces dropship straight from overseas containers, which is why "fast delivery" turns into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.
The other thing nobody mentions: many dogs and cats are hesitant to use stairs at first. Introducing them slowly — with treats, at their pace — takes 3-14 days for most pets. Skip this and stairs become an expensive footrest. For senior dogs already showing joint issues, a ramp is often gentler than steps and more likely to be used.
Frequently asked questions
What if my pet stairs arrive damaged?
Contact us within 7 days with photos. We'll replace or refund under our 12-month warranty. Transit damage is rare (under 2%), but we sort it within 48 hours.
How long does delivery take?
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane: 3–5 business days. Perth and Adelaide: 5–8 days. Regional and remote areas: 7–14 days.
Can I pay with Afterpay, Zip or PayPal?
Yes, all three. A $120 set of stairs works out to four payments of $30 with Afterpay or four payments of $30 with PayPal Pay in 4. Zip offers up to 12 months.
Stairs or ramps — which is better?
Stairs suit young, agile pets. Ramps suit senior pets, larger dogs and those with joint issues. If in doubt, ramp — easier on joints for all ages.
Complete your pet setup
Three items most buyers add at the same time: pet feeding, pet clothing, and puppy training. Introduce stairs and ramps gradually with treats — most pets take a week to trust them.
