Our Verdict
Every time an older dog jumps off a couch or bed, they're putting significant impact on aging joints. PetSafe CozyUp steps eliminate that impact entirely. At $35–$60, they're one of the most cost-effective joint protection tools available.
What We Like
- Reduces joint stress from jumping
- Non-slip surface on each step
- Washable cover included

- Works for dogs and cats
Watch Out For
- Some pets need training to use steps
- Not ideal for very large or heavy dogs
The Joint Impact Problem
A 20-pound dog jumping off a 24-inch couch lands with roughly 3–4x their body weight in impact force. For a dog with arthritis or hip dysplasia, that repeated impact accelerates joint damage. Steps or ramps eliminate this impact entirely — a simple change that makes a real difference over time.
Training Your Pet to Use Them
Most pets don't immediately understand what steps are for. Place a treat on each step and guide your pet up slowly. Repeat several times a day for a few days. Most dogs and cats learn within a week. Placing the steps in the same spot consistently helps them become a habit.
Placement Tips
Position the steps so the top step is level with the furniture surface — no gap for your pet to jump across. For beds, place them at the foot or side where your pet naturally approaches. For couches, place them at the end your pet uses most. Secure the base so the steps don't slide.
