About Us
As our adorable little shorkie, Koda, began to journey into his golden years, we noticed that he was having a difficult time navigating the stairs in our home. Our energetic pup, who once bounded up the stairs with ease, began to take them slowly and with evident strain - sometimes even needing a helping lift from his humans.
Our hearts ached watching our sweet Koda navigate what once came so easily. We set out on a quest to find a solution, only to be surprised by the lack of options out there for staircases. We all know that desperation sparks innovation, but we found that love refines it, and thus, the StairWedge was born!
Once we came up with the simple concept of placing a wedge on the stairs to make a ramp, we quickly filed multiple patents for the idea and began working on creating a solution for not only Koda, but for all short-legged breeds and seasoned fur babies alike. With the StairWedge in place, Koda could finally go up and down stairs with no hesitation.
We are outdoorsy people who care about sustainability, so we chose to build the StairWedge from eco-friendly cork - better for him and better for the planet! Cork is very strong and can hold the weight of any dog breed. We also added a non-slip surface to help dogs feel confident on both their ascend and descend alike. Beyond function, we also nailed the aesthetics (which was super important to a famiy with four girls), the StairWedge looks sleek on any stairs. Unlike a bulky ramp that just gets slapped over stairs, ours is a seemless wedge that transforms each step into a smooth climb.
StairWedge is optimized for indoor residential stairs. They are generally safe to be used outdoors in dry, stable conditions, but the outdoor elements may reduce the lifespan due to weathering.
StairWedge comes in singles and packs of five so you choose the perfect amount to meet your pet's needs. Watching Koda regain his confidence and independence was a game-changer, and we want the same for your dog because we believe all dogs should move through life with ease.

About the Owners When Jon isn't busy innovating, you'll find him chilling outside with his adorable sidekick, Koda. He loves taking daily walks with Koda and watching him explore the world. Koda is Jon's loyal adventure companion!
Alisa enjoys deep, sweaty, mind-clearing sessions on her yoga mat. If she's not on her yoga mat, she's on the lake on her paddle board or sitting on our deck reading a good book. Koda loves to cuddle with Alisa and definitely agrees she gives the best belly scratches!
We both love nothing more than hanging out with each other and with our three fabulous daughters.

Koda is simply a good boy!! He loves people food, walks, cuddles, and barking ferociously at any passing dog. He doesn't like any moment when our full attention is not him, and as he is the "baby" of the family, we are all okay with that! We are pretty confident that Koda doesn't know he is a dog. Shhh! Nobody tell him. |
