What is the height of the lower mattress to the oblong facing? Does a dog have to "duck under" to get to the lower bunk? Could a German Shepherd get in and out of that space?

I had to return my co-sleeper bed because my dogs would not even go near it. But I did think it was nicely made and a good idea. I don't know the exact size of the lower bunk but a German Shepherd could not get in and out of the lower bunk. That space is best for a small dog under 25 lbs or a cat. And even the small dog would have to "duck". If the German Shepherd is not too big, he could fit in the top bunk but may need help getting in and out.

Oooooh! Short answer = I don't think so. Height is 8 inches and would be a snug fit. That said, the top "bunk" is open air and stands around 18 - 20 inches from the floor. I have little ones - 4, and I have a foot stool for them to jump on and then up to the top bunk - works perfectly. Mine REALLY love the bunks. Best of luck!

yes, it is a bit lower than the entrance to a kennel carrier, but for a german shepherd it would be a bit of a "duck under" If your dog likes "cave-like" places it would work, my shepherd tends to prefer the top.

May be small underneath for a German Shepherd; top bunk should be fine. Our large dogs sleeps on top and 2 minature Aussies underneath

I'm not sure what you mean but my beagle does not use the lower bunk.she jumps up onto top bed.it would be a tight fit for a german shepard .especially on the bottom.I would yes yes to your question about ducking under for the bottom if it is a german shepard

This would be better suited for a small to medium size dog. I use it for 2 of my cats. I think it's too small for a German Shepard.

It is just under 13 inches. A small dog (I'd guess about 20 lbs & under) would not have to duck. Most dogs would probably have to duck. The space is too small for a German Shepherd. My lab is about 60 lbs now and can only comfortable curl up on top and can't lie stretched out on her side.

No, I do not think a german shepard could get in and out of the lower bunk. The one that I have is an enclosed bunk that zips shut... both of my chihuahuas fit under there. I also have 2 smaller boxers (50lbs) and they cannot fit under there at all.

I do not think a German Shepherd could easily fit in the lower bunk. It is close to the floor and not very high.

Yep. Sorry. I don't think the pups could get enough grip to get up that steep of an incline. It would work on a sofa, but not a bed. Go for the stairs they make for help onto the bed, even my old girls seem to do okay on those, they just take them one by one, slowly but easily.

I measured mine and its a little under 2.5inches thick however the pillow top it isn't sturdy at all and sinks all the way down with pressure from my cat. It comes with two pillows tops (one for the bottom bunk) you could double up. For me I ended up placing another dog bed on top of the pillow top and my animals love it! Hope this helps.

The puppy stairs are about 20". My bed is about 3" higher. My pups are small and use the stairs with ease. They love the freedom it allows them. Plus it keeps them from injury. It easily moves to other rooms as needed.

5 inches. Mine broke almost immediately, the brace in back disconnected from the rest of the unit. Also, the dogs were afraid of it because the backs of the step risers kept falling out. Maybe try a plush one, they seem to be more pet friendly.

Absolutely not big enough for a German Shepherd. I don't think it's even big enough for a German Shepherd to be able to lie down in comfortably, let alone turn around.

It is about 3-4 inches- I keep ducks in mine- this is an issue- expect short-legged dogs (dachsunds- Yorkist, etc) might have difficulty

I think a standard schnauzer would be quite crowded in this seat. If he wants to sit up all the time it might work okay, but not enough room to lie down. My 20# Sheltie is a tight fit but loves being up high and looking out the window.

I tried to get my German Shepherd to use the bed by using treats and coaxing. He would get up on it, but he'd get down as quickly as he could--usually after I'd stepped away. If your dogs have been up on their beds several times and still won't use them, perhaps, like my dog, they don't like the "feel" of it; some dogs are more sensitive about their balance. I gave it 2 weeks, trying every day to get my dog to use it, then gave up and shipped it back.

To have the four steps, it is big. It is 21" high and nearly 28" into the room. We have to turn it sideways against the foot of our bed so we can walk around it. Our mattress is 28' high and we have a small Yorkie, she has no trouble making it onto the bed. Going down, she only used one step before jumping the rest of the way down.

It depends on the size of the dog. My dog is a German Shepherd. He weighs 85lbs. has never tried to go under. Hope this helps

Measuring the inside where the dog would sleep is 23.5in. by 20 in. I have a Scottish terrier and he loves this bed!

The dog is balancing on it? How big a dog? The clearance (from bottom of platform to floor) is just about two inches -- very low. So the balancing is challenging and quick. Probably not for an animal, too subtle.

It's 19 inches from floor to the top step. Each step rises 6-1/2". I've got two pugs, one of which is exceptionally small for the breed and she just takes her time getting up there. Using it as a ramp however is way too steep for any small dog.

That will be tight the lower bunk is approximately 10" from the floor if you trundle is on a frame and wheels it may not slide under.

Depending on the size of the dog, I suppose it's possible. We leave a blanket in the corner for ours to sleep on so it doesn't seem to bother her. I will say that the spot welds recently popped on the floor of the crate so the corner sags. I rigged it with a zip tie (don't judge) because i worried about her foot slipping and getting pinched. we are back to good with that modification. It's not a perfect crate, but doe the money, I won't complain. My only perfect crate was a custom built $600 crate for my husky years ago.

OK, Maggie got up from her bed! The interior is 16" deep and 18" wide. The sides do mush down because my doggies "lounge" over the sides and use it as a pillow. So figure about 3"-4" additional to what is actually the sleeping area.
