All About Royal Ramps

Inventing a pet bed ramp for Jeanne's disabled Yorkie...

"In 2002, my 5-pound Yorkshire terrier, Raphael, became disabled and required neurosurgery. After his surgery, I searched for steps to enable him to get up and down from the couch and bed. I was disappointed that available devices were made of rigid materials that caused too much impact for the sensitive nature of his injury. My friend Krystal responded, 'How about foam rubber?'

We purchased a sewing machine, had some cubes cut from industrial foam rubber, made removable washable covers, and sold on the website Puppy Stairs. Raphael took to the stairs immediately, so we made another set and gave them to the dog sitter. All his dogs loved them, including the larger breeds." - Jeanne Wolfington

In 2016, Jeanne and Krystal sold the Royal Ramps brand and patents to the established eCommerce experts at Store Chain, Inc. under the direction of CEO Matthew Delaney, to carry the brand on to a larger national audience. The number of retailers and dog shops are steadily growing as customers everywhere give rave reviews about the quality of their American made pet products.

Archer Enterprises Inc, a Las Vegas based company focused on helping animals, purchased the Royal Ramps brand and patents in 2019 from Store Chain, Inc. Heather McClendon, CEO of Archer Enterprises Inc, has the vision to continue to expand Royal Ramps to reach even more customers and help even more 4 legged friends with the high quality products that Royals Ramps is known for.

Pet bed ramp and stair solutions for all dogs and cats in need:

Once Jeanne and Krystal found durable, high-density industrial foam that maintained its shape under significant weight, Puppy Stairs was born. Its designs have received a U.S. Patent (beware of flimsy imitators!). Over the years, the company has expanded its standard pet ramps and stairs line, added large dog ramp options, and increased its fabric selections.
