Looking for a light weight step to get my 200 lb. mastiff into the back of a crossover station wagon. Is this sturdy enough?

According to the product description "it holds over 200 pounds", so if the 25" height reaches the back of the wagon I would say yes. It also folds for easy storage so it could be placed in the wagon with your dog.

I would say yes. The problem I had is not the sturdiness of the steps, it was the dogs were afraid to use it. Not sure why - its not slippery. Good luck!

I use mine for a puggle. My large breed lab who is well over 130 lbs. won't use it. Think if it were broader width it might work but I'm not sure I would be comfortable with her using it.

I don't think the steps will be wide enough or deep enough, you might be better with a ramp! My dogs are only 50 and 70 lbs and they have trouble with the depth of the steps, although it is sturdy it is built more for a smaller dog.

I also have a Mastiff and I really don't think that she could do these steps. They are too close together. I believe it would be sturdy enough. You may have to hold it because if she got to one side they might tip over.

I think he would not be comfortable on the steps as they are not that deep. Not like real stairs. Better off with a ramp.

The ramp seems sturdy. I got it for my ten pound Chihuahua mix, but I also have a 60 pound dog, and I would have no qualms about her using it. That being said, the parts snap into place (as opposed to lock or screw) so I could see it collapsing if overstrained. But again, it feels/seems very sturdy.

I don't think I would use it for a thirty pound dog. It's not built for that kind of weight. It is a small child's toy wagon.

Tracy I have a 225 lbs English Mastiff. I asked advice on the Facebook English Mastiff Owners page. This ramp was recommended. Also the Petstep II. I'm trying to decide between the two. This one is longer and says it can accommodate up to 300 lbs. The Petstep II says up to 500 lbs. I'm trying to find one locally. I'll let you know if I find one and how it works.

I think it would probably be too lightweight for that. It is plastic and has plastic wheels. I think for walking outside a metal wagon would be best.

It depends. It certainly will hold when the dog walks on it, but my dog wouldn't go up the ramp at all. I just couldn't get him to use the thing. Its probably a bit too steep of an incline. You might want to check out the extra wide pet steps. I bought some of those on here and he uses those to get into my SUV just fine.

I don't believe this wheel will support any significant weight. I wouldn't use it on a real wagon.

Yes it is really rather sturdy - unless it is a Mane coon or upwards of 20 lbs it should be fine

Hi, our dog is 86 lbs and of similar body type to a GSD. I think this bowl/opening would work fine in the back of a truck. However, you'd need to secure the bowl to something as it weighs quite a bit when full and would be dangerous if sliding around. Also, bring additional water as one bowlful may not last a whole day.

I think so, but to be honest my dog is only twenty pounds. It's certainly easier on them than conventional stairs. Also, it does state that it will support dogs up to 100 pounds so I believe it would be fine. The one thing I recommend is that you either put it between a wall and the bed or something like that to stabilize it and make it more secure for the dog. My dog loves it but refused to use it at first. I put her on a leash and led her up it and then (after a cookie) led her down on the leash.

I am not sure if the steps are good for your dog or not. My dog is a small German Shepherd who can no longer jump into our vehicle. She weighs about 55 lbs. which is below what the steps are rated at. The snap together design of the steps did not hold together when she would run up them. Maybe if I had glued it together but I did not. All I can say is to use your own judgment. I did not like how it went together.

The top step would be big enough for you dog. I can measure it tomorrow if needed.

It's rated for 200 lbs, and tough enough for me to stand on. Our 75 pound Golden uses this every day. It's a great product, and very easy to use. We originally discovered the step while watching a large German Shepard getting into a Suburban with ease. Good product..!

It could work as a dog cart, however, this wagon is heavy (about 70 lbs). You would need a team of Huskies to pull this. If you want to pull a dog around in it, this would work.

Yes. My 61 pound wirehaired pointing griffon has no problem using this ramp. It is sturdy and required no training for my girl. She ran right up into the car and I use it as a ramp up to my bed as well. It stays in place.

My black lab weighs 95 pounds and he got through without problems. Need something more substantial to hold it in place.

Yes, its sturdy enough, just make sure it doesn't slide off when your dog tries to get on it. It needs to be secured somehow.
