Aluminum Folding Dog RampOct 22, 2009
By Gail E. Robinson
"ger"
Lightweight, easy to transport. Our Rottweiler appreciates the assistance getting into our vehicles. We enjoy having him travel with us more without the stress of having to lift him or have him jumping in or out, potentially injuring himself. It has been a great solution to a difficult situation. He was hesitant at first but is rapidly getting used to the ramp.

 glad i got this one!Sep 16, 2011
By sharon
my great dane, Jack, weighs in at 142 pounds. i looked at many other ramps of different materials and styles and decided to get this one. i'm glad i did b/c i'm not so sure the others would have held up. i ride around with Jack in a full size chevy with a 4" lift and 35s and this ramp makes getting in and out of the truck bed effortless. it took a few attempts but with a few treats and encouraging words Jack got the idea and now its easy. we just drove from texas to washington state in my truck and with all the potty breaks and overnighters, the ramp held up well and is still going strong. the ramp folds in half and has an attached clamp with a strap to keep it folded for storage. its not heavy and it doesn't take up much room at all. the carry handle is great. the traction surface doesn't bother Jack at all. All together it is working well and i'm glad i got this one!

 Good product; picky dogOct 10, 2010
By M. Stewart
I bought a 6 foot ramp to make it easier on my old hound to get up and
down the 4 stairs to enter the house. It was very well made. He absolutely
refused to use it though, even with all kinds of treat-bribing. It may have been that he didn't like the feel of the grit surface (good for traction),
I don't know.
For other pet owners with less fussy critters, it would be an excellent
investment. Folds in half easily and has a built-in carry handle.
Just as describedJan 26, 2012

item was delivered as expected and just as described in the ad - no complaints from me. Works best if used as shown - back of a hatchback or truck. We use ours in our Subaru Forester (dog enters car from the hatch rear).
Nice ramp, but my dogs won't use itOct 19, 2011

"health nut"
This is a nice ramp, lightweight, yet sturdy. It came with a loose nut floating around in the packaging bag and no instructions, but with so few parts, it was easy to see where it went and put it back on.
I have 2 80 pound geriatric (by vet standards, although they agree to disagree with the vets age thingy) dogs with severe hip dysplasia. We often have issues after a long walk getting the dogs in the truck and I have a bad back, so lifting them is killing me. This ramp looked like the perfect solution. It folds up and stores nicely, it's lightweight and easy to handle and it's super non-skid/slip.
I set it up, took the first dog out on a leash and he would not set foot on the ramp. He would go to one side or the other, but NOT touch the ramp. I tried everything, he just wouldn't use it.
Then I put my female on the leash. She tried repeatedly to get on it but she wouldn't walk straight up it, she kept trying from the side so that one of her rear legs would fall off. I finally got her on it but she was terrified and slinked up it digging her nails in the whole way, not a pretty sight, for a normally proud, confident dog who LOVES getting in the truck, because truck means walk!
So, I have to return it because they will not use it. My back's very angry about this, but it's just not going to work out for us. One thing I did notice is that this would probably be better for smaller dogs, or larger dogs who were trained on an agility ramp at one time. Also, if you have a dog with mobility issues, a longer ramp may suit you better to decrease the incline. This is quite steep and they really have to use their backend to push to get up the ramp.
So, that's my 2 cents, hope this is helpful. Not a bad ramp at all, if your dogs will use it, but if they have mobility issues, go with a longer ramp.
