Little legs and big climbs aren’t usually compatible, which is why they often need a lift up from time to time.
As most animal lovers will tell you, our pets are our best friends, but while not everyone is that fond of having them climb on furniture, for those who don’t mind it, or even actively encourage it, budget supermarket retailer Aldi is selling some handy pet stairs, and there’s probably more benefits to them than you initially realised.
Suitable for cats and small dogs up to 15kg, the Pet Collection Plush Pet Stairs are specially-designed to help them get up and down from higher levels.
According to the product description on the Aldi website, with fabric that’s soft to the touch and can easily be wiped clean, the Pet Collection Plush Pet Stairs are perfect for assisting small pets in climbing and descending from higher levels.
They’re compact, lightweight, and incredibly-easy to relocate when required.

The steps part can also be removed too, and then underneath, there’s also some great storage space to store all of their favourite toys.

One happy shopper shared the pet stairs in a post to the ever popular Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK group on Facebook this week, and it went on to amass thousands of likes and comments from other pet owners keen to get their hands on the cute invention for their four-legged friends.
The shopper explained that her dog struggles to get down from her bed as it’s too high, and so the stairs have been “ideal”.
Commenting on the post, one shopper agreed: “We have one for our little dog and she uses it every day”, while another shopper joked: “Never mind pets I could do with one of these for myself.”
People looking to grab the pet stairs will need to keep their eyes peeled and their fingers crossed as they head on down to their nearest Aldi store, and you can check the opening times of your local branch via the Store Finder here.

Kyle Walker announces retirement from international football with England at 35
Danny Jones
Former Manchester City star and England defender has announced his retirement from international football at 35 years old.
He calls it a day for his country with nearly a century of appearances.
Kyle Walker, who has won six Premier Leagues, four Carabao trophies, a pair of FA Cups and a Champions League title with Man City, made his national team debut back in 2011.
Now, nearly a full decade and a half later, he is hanging up his boots on the biggest stage, retiring as England’s most capped right back in history.
As you can see, he confirmed the news in a highlight video looking back on her best moments with the Three Lions.
Sharing a lengthy and emotional statement in the caption, the Yorkshireman wrote: “After more than a decade representing my country, I have decided to retire from international football. Playing for England has always been the biggest honour of my career and something I will always be proud of.
“Thank you to every teammate, coach, manager, the 12th man, and everyone behind the scenes who has been part of the journey. Every roar from the fans pushed the team along, and I’m looking forward to joining them to support the lads in the World Cup.”
His last appearance in an England shirt came in June against Senegal, since dropping out of manager Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice team and future plans, with both form and age no doubt being factored into that decision.
Walker added: “The memories in an England shirt will stay with me forever.”
96 caps 🧢 Five major tournaments 🏴 A #ThreeLions legend ⭐
He went on to sign off by saying, “I also want to thank my family for their support every step of the way. They have made this journey even more special, and I will always be grateful to have shared it with them.”
The Sheffield-born fullback left Manchester last year following a loan spell at AC Milan, before joining fellow Premier League side Burnley FC permanently this past July.
Meanwhile, the Clarets are staring down relegation back to the Championship; however, this step will no doubt help Walker prolong his club career, whether or not he stays in Lancashire.
Where does Walker rank among the all-time England defenders in your mind?
