I use your ramp to help my old dog into my bed, into the bathtub and into my van- he would have had to spend his last years on the floor without the ramp. He can't make it up if its too steep so I devised a lower plastic stool leading to a plastic ice chest. I would love it if you designed a platform to go with your ramp to graduate the steepness. Thanks- I am shocked that something I bought was actually helpful and not that expensive either.

I bought this for my 10 year old, 80 lb dog who is arthritic and diabetic. I have a Mazda hatchback; without a ramp it is very difficult for her to haul herself up into the back seat.

I gave this ramp four stars but that is only for the product & the company itself (ie construction, perceived durability, quick shipping, etc...) NOT for the usefullness of the product, at least in my car, which is not an SUV or particularly high. I give it two stars for usefullness and ease of use.

The ribbed surface has good traction and the construction seems good. This ramp is too short to be used to climb into the hatchback. The angle is too steep and there is no "lip" to secure it. But, the ramp is too wide to fit in the rear door so we just cannot use it. I will try to make use of it in the house or back porch. I recommend going to a store to try this out before purchasing.

Although this product is relatively lightweight, it is too short and therefore too steep for use out the back end of a minivan. My dog won't walk up or down it. It would have been nice if it was longer and folded up or expanded.

The pet ramp is basically as described on the web site & has good traction but is too short for my needs. I needed it to help my maltese get up on my bed by herself but she has bad hips & can not manage the steepness. I wish it either came with some kind of folding short legs on the floor end of the ramp or an attachment that would raise the bottom end up 4-6". I also would prefer it about 4" less in width. Otherwise the ramp is sturdy & well made. Thank You, Rena

It is solid, sturdy, and safe for our dogs to walk up and down from our bed and up to and off of our furniture. I can clean it easily. It has a good grip for the dogs footing. For the price and quality it is a great buy!

VERY sturdy ramp! This is an absolute necessity for a dog if you can't lift it. We have two of these ramps. After back surgery our dog needed a way off the deck into the fenced-in yard. These ramps just cover the two steps down on either end of the deck. (A longer, folding version of this ramp is available if you have more steps for your dog to negotiate.) It took a while training him on leash, but now he has the idea and takes himself up and down. The ramp has a set of rubberized ridges to provide traction and to help the dog help himself up and down without slipping.

The ramp needs some room to be settled firmly, so is not quite right for entering the back seat of a car. It is, however, perfect for our use. It seems to be indestructible, just what we needed.

I would recommend the longer folding version of this ramp for entry into the back of an SUV or for covering more steps. It is also perfect for the job, just a bit heavy for me. We keep one of these in the garage for trips to the vet. All our dogs are too big for me to lift and you never know when one will be too sick to just hop in the car.

Bought this for pool... Was about to buy the skamper ramp large but I had a small version of it before and easily fell apart.

This product is great, durable and look really solid... Bought it with pool legs... Just wish it had extensions

This product is supposed to work on couches. It is too steep even for that. For a large SUV and or a van it would really be too steep. It is also too narrow, since a dog with problems (hence the need for a ramp) would need some room to stagger a bit in order to get up the ramp. My dog is only 19 lbs and has short (part) corgi legs and it is too narrow for her (she has a neurological condition that makes her walk a bit like she is drunk, but she isn't I swear she only had one martini). I am still searching for a wide ramp that is not too steep and that won't cost too much. In fact I may have to have one custom made.

This dog ramp is sturdy poly but it is heavy. Specs say it is 11 pounds but it is awkward to handle. especially for my wife. You may want to consider something that is collapsible as this ramp takes up a lot of room in your van, SUV, etc.
