Pet Stairs II: The Measurements

I just blogged about some pet stairs. I made some comments about tread height and depth, but wanted to fill in some hard numbers for all the folks at home.

I whipped out my measuring tape, and came up with the following measurements:
  • PetStairz
    • Total Height: 26 inches
    • Total Depth: 34 inches
    • Tread Height: 3.5 inches
    • Tread Depth: 6 inches
    • Tread Width: 16.5 inches
    • Shipping Weight: 10 pounds
  • HelpYourPets
    • Total Height: 25 inches
    • Total Depth: 32 inches
    • Tread Height: 6 inches
    • Tread Depth: 9 inches
    • Tread Width: 16 inches
    • Shipping Weight: 45 pounds
So, as you can see, the PetStairz offer a slightly higher rise with a gentler slope, but each step is definitely more shallow--which only makes sense, if you stop and think about it.

Hopefully, a few real-world numbers will help others who may be trying to decide between the two products. Or, you could just do what I typically do: buy both, and leave the decision to your dog. *grin*
