Unless it’s a service animal, if you put a dog on an escalator it will run like mad to get to the other end. I don’t see a dog just sitting there and letting the escalator doing all the work.
My 2 Doxies wouldn’t have anything to do with the dog steps, had to get a plastic kids slide and put carpet on it so they could get up and down without sliding.
Why is there a gap between the top & the bed? What I liked was when Midnight my oldest cat (now gone) was having trouble getting up on the bench in the kitchen to look out the window, he used it but Screamin" (also now gone) who was 2 years younger gave it a “look” & jumped up. It’s a wide bench so the steps still left a lot of room. A couple of years later- he started using the steps. Boots still ignores them, but Q-Tip, the latest to come in at 6 years old, was ill, so he needed to use the steps. Although he’s better now, I have seen him jump up but he prefers the steps. Possibly because Boots is often on the bench where he would land.
Got steps for my dog because my bed is exceptionally high. He wanted nothing to do with them….he insists on being lifted up. He’s a 30 lbs. dog. When I had the most problems with doing it I just had had my shoulder replaced surgery and was still in recovery. Wasn’t suppose to be lifting more than 10-15 lbs. at the most. Probably why it still hasn’t healed completely almost 2 years later.
Our Dachshund mix needs stairs to get into our bed and sometimes he walks up them, sits down and just looks around. Now I know he is waiting for the escalator repair person or perhaps the view is just better 2’ off the ground. He is part Dachshund, after all, so he doesn’t see much from down there!

Wally has been spending too much time with Norm and Ralph.

Getting stuck on a stopped escalator is an IQ test.
