Finding the right “ramp” for Dachshunds can be difficult. This was so perfect for the couch, I bought a second one for our bedroom. The “stairs” are deep evough that even an elderly dog would do well with them. I’ve seen our dogs both get a running start and slowly make their way up with no problem. It blends in nicely too, abs the fabric adds good traction. It is light weight, and easily moved- but doesn’t scoot around. The foam looks like it will have nice durability. Highly recommend for your short legged friends.
