One Jump Can Change Everything — Keep Your Doxie Safe From IVDD.
IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) is a common spinal condition that affects many long-backed breeds—especially dachshunds (doxies). Because their bodies are long and their legs are short, their spine takes on extra pressure with every jump, twist, or sudden landing. Over time, this impact can cause the discs in their spine to weaken or slip, which may lead to pain, difficulty walking, or in severe cases, even paralysis. But here’s the good news: Most everyday strain that leads to IVDD is preventable.

FAQ
Clear answers to help you choose confidently and use the SausageSteps Ramp with ease.
What is the weight limit for these stairs?
Our stairs can safely support pups up to 25–30 lbs (11–14 kg). The foam is strong enough for sturdy small breeds like corgis or chunky doxies — no bending, no collapsing. If your pup fits the “small but mighty” category, these stairs have their back!
Is the cover machine washable?
Yes! The cover easily zips off and is fully machine-washable, making it simple to keep the stairs fresh and clean. Whether your pup sheds, drools, or tracks in dirt, maintaining the stairs takes just a quick wash cycle. 🧼
How firm is the foam? Does it sink when my dog steps on it?
The foam is soft enough for tiny paws but firm enough to stay strong. No sinking, no wobbling — just a cozy, steady climb your pup can trust. Perfect for sensitive joints and brave little explorers. 🐾✨
How long do the stairs take to inflate after opening the package?
They arrive a bit squished (like a marshmallow!) but fluff up fast. Within a few minutes they take shape, and within a few hours they’re perfectly firm and ready for climbing. Just let them breathe — they grow into their full, comfy selves. 🧸🌬️
How quickly will my dog learn to use them?
Most doxies adapt within days with short, consistent training and treats. It is super easy! Just guide your pup up the steps with a treat or their favorite toy. Give lots of praise, keep it fun, and they’ll quickly realize these stairs lead to all their favorite snuggle spots — without jumping. Most dogs learn in just a few tries! 🐶🪜💕
