Pet Gear PG9300DR Tri-fold Pet Ramp, Black/Grey, X-Large

Heavy duty ramp claims OK to 200lbs. Our Great Dane weighs in at 180 lb / 80 kilos & it takes his weight well. No problem training to use & has saved him jumping & impacting his shoulders. Non slip surface. Chunky device that takes up car space when folded but expected. Prompt delivery. Recommended.

We have a 50kilo Akita with arthritis, this ramp doesn’t give a fraction. Extremely sturdy, easy to use. Downside it is a bit cumbersome to carry round on the back seats. Could do with a bag for when not in use.

I had been looking for a ramp for a while and this one is just right for my 8 mth old Newfoundland who is 50kg at present with a lot more growing to do . It saves his joints and my back win win ! It’s very sturdy and wide enough that he feels confident on it . It is fairly heavy and obviously takes up room in the car but couldn’t be easier to unfold and put away .

To help a German Shepard get in and out of a va

Found it easy to unfold, I have back problems so am finding it a little heavy, the handle and compact size when it folds up is good. Since it is heavier, less bounce when the dogs walk up it, is a little steep, and if you had a higher SUV would even be steeper. We purchased the 70 inch length for that reason, so not as steep. Overall we are happy with the purchase. We had looked at some in Pet Smart but this one was much better. The surface is rough, and did scratch, the first few times the dogs went up, but as they got use to it was much better. We have two senior dogs one is 100 pounds and the other is 80 pounds.

very handy if you own a large dog, I have a french mastiff who weighs 55kg, this does the job in getting her in and out of the boot of the car, would recommend this definitely.

Bought for our dog as she found it more difficult to jump into car. After training with treats for 5min, she has been using it happily. She weighs 35kg, Labrador size. I use it daily, not too heavy to lift.

Excellent service. Ordered this on the 29th Dec. Got an email to say it would be delivered on the 2nd Jan which I was happy with. It came on the 31st Dec. Mega happy!
The ramp itself is very well built. Looks strong. Excellent grip. We have a Mazda CX-5 and it’s perfect. There is a slight spring in it but when our dog goes on it he’s fine with it. I’m sure it’ll flatten out. It took 2mins for him to go up it. The weight it’ll take is also impressive. Our dog weighs 50kg and it’s no problem. I stood on it gently and it took my weight but I was only on it a second. It folds up nicely and locks into place. First impressions are very good. I would and will recommend this ramp

Despit having to send it back due to the weight this product is an excellent buy if you are strong enough to carry it arround and with enough boot space to store it.

This is great. We have a very large German Shepherd and his back legs are a bit stiff in winter. This means he can travel with us. We have a Range Rover, and this fits very well.

I bought this for my 11-year-old large (80 lb) Lab mix who could no longer jump into my Outback. I also wanted it to aid his transition from ground to vehicle following back surgery (him, not me). He is too heavy for me to lift and after several days of gradual habituation, he had no qualms about using it. The surface is no-slick sand-paper-like and he never lost his footing, which would have frightened him. It was wide enough to make him and me comfortable regarding footing, especially since his hindquarters were losing coordination due to the back problem.

I began by placing the ramp folded into the smaller length flat on a floor in a narrow hallway where he would have to walk over it to get to where he wanted to go. After two days, I opened it to the second section; after three days I opened it all the way.

Next, I placed the double length on the first step of my stairway to the upstairs where we all sleep. I blocked the sides so he would have to walk up the ramp to the second step. After two nights I opened it all the way and placed it on the second step. The next two nights I placed it on the third step. I never “trained” him to use it; only made it a routine part of access to areas he wanted to get to. I never made a big deal of his using it and I walked on it to so he could follow.

The next day I introduced the ramp into the vehicle and with stinky cheese, urged him to walk all the way into the cargo area of the car. He did so without a blink. I took him to one of our favorite places–a lake with a natural path for a walk. This way he associated the ramp with a new freedom to be able to get into the car again and go someplace fun.

By the time I had to load him for his trip to the hospital for back surgery, he knew the ramp meant he could go with me anywhere. By “loading” the association of the ramp with pleasant experiences before the hospital trip, he did not separate the experience and associate the ramp with the vet office. Mission accomplished!

Great product; wide, non-slip, sturdy, did not wobble or creak, never slid off the bumper (a sure way to instill fear in a dog). Easy to fold up, not too heavy, easy to store. Solid sections when folded all the way out–no bounce. Bought sight unseen but I am very impressed! Good value price-wise too.

I have an elderly GSD and wanted a ramp to help him get in and out of my Honda CRV and firstly purchased a two section ramp. This was much too steep an angle for my dog so I bought the tri-fold version which proved to be so much better. However I found that he still slipped quite badly on the sandpaper finish on the ramp and needed assistance. Since then I’ve cut and glued ribbed nylon door mats onto the ramp (with the ribbing across sideways). This has worked brilliantly and now my dog can stroll up it without any help.

My 9 year old german shepherd has developed arthritis in her hips and spine. She can’t hop up and down into the back seat of my 2005 Silverado crew cab pickup anymore. Although this product is designed for the rear hatch of SUVs and station wagons it DOES work on the rear side door of my pickup, with a little common sense of course.

With the ramp angled next to the rear door the dog can walk up, but the ramp can slide while the dog is on it. At the moment I put my foot at the base of the ramp to keep it from sliding. I intend to put in a tie down to quickly attach the provided strap eventually, If you’re a true pick up guy I’m sure you could figure this out. My truck doesn’t have any accommodations for the provided strap, but I’m not using it as intended, so no points deducted for sliding.
they do sell a strap for this purpose. It goes straight up and hooks on the top of the door. I’m not certain it would prevent lateral sliding, but I could be wrong. Check it out for yourself here on amazon.

This folds up nicely, although the little plastic hook isn’t reliable. That’s not really a big deal. It’s not too heavy, my wife and I can easily sling it into the bed of the truck while we are driving and it folds small enough to be secured in the back seat when we get the dog where she is going.

The first time I used it another fellow in a pickup was driving passed, he pulled a u-turn to come back to ask me about the ramp. Turns out he needs one for his dog too. It certainly serves a purpose, fits a need and does the job well.

Found to be very good but a little heavy dog uses this with ease

I purchased this ramp because my twelve year old dog could no longer jump onto her chair or into the car. It is quite sturdy plus it is longer and wider than I expected. It is relatively easy to fold and unfold but you need to practice a bit to be comfortable. I began using it in the house before we tried the car. Since it is long enough to make the grade easy on your dog, it can interfere with other cars trying to get around you. Park in an area that won’t make you and the dog nervous. The material that is used to make it non slip feels like a low grit sandpaper so I cover the ramp with a yoga mat to give it just a bit of a cushion. If your dog is rather big, expect the ramp to ‘give’ a little in the areas where it folds when they are using it. It did take time, training and treats to get her to use it but now she uses it with little coaxing and I feel pretty relaxed. I would recommend this ramp for any dog and their owner.

A very handy ramp, the dog needs to get used to it.

Very good product…works well for dogs that can’t jump into or out of vehicle. Needed to have a tri-fold since ramp must store between front and back seats in a Subaru Outback…barely enough room…product folded is quite thick. Also, can only be used for the back cargo area…doesn’t work for a side door on such a small vehicle. Dogs can be leery of it at first, but a little time…2 minutes…and treats solved the problem. Dogs prefer this to steps…in my opinion. The ramp is heavier than I anticipated, but I am a senior and manage just fine. Have not tried through a winter season yet.

Very substantial. Little heavier than expected but sturdy. Very pleased , just have to convince our 11 year old greyhound to use it now!

brilliant, nice and easy to use even with a very old dog. Arrived early, great seller.

Great product. Duke my English mastiff is 16stone at the moment(puppy) and although it took a little training, he finds it a great help to get in and out of the Discovery.

ive had several of these over the years. I think they are the best ramps. 2 minor issues: they don’t last forever, textured surface wears off after say 2 years. big and bulky, can damage car seat if stored carelessly. otherwise all good.

My poor old dog is so relieved to have this. It is very sturdy and very good value.
Thank you for making his later years a lot easier.

Bought this for my 1year old newfoundland to help her in and out of the car. She took to it very easily. It is well made and is easy to fold up and secure.

We got this because both of our labs are getting older and seem to have a hard time getting into the back of our Xterra. This worked great for that. Well, we traded the Xterra in for a new 4Runner. The rear deck is a bit higher now, making the ramp steeper. Also the ledge of the rear bumper is pretty deep on the 4Runner, and painted instead of rubberized plastic. So now we cover the cargo area with a large utility blanket and are sure to cover the bumper now before placing the ramp near it. I’m not sure there’s much that can be done about it, but the ramp itself is quite bulky. If we had one dog it wouldn’t be a big deal but with two dogs we may need to figure something else out. Good product, just make sure it’s right for your situation.

Update: After a few tries, the dog that needed this ramp the most refuses to use it so we are going to have to pick her up. If your dog is skittish this may not be for you. It’s still a good product and as advertised.

Ok BIG dog fans, after nearly 7 years, I bought my second Pet gear tri-fold ramp. I love this ramp! My Newfoundland was 85 lbs at 12 weeks and we could no longer or wanted to lift him into the Blazer (SUV). Didn’t want to pay for bad joints later or injure our backs. Start `em out young. Fear of the ramp was outweighed by “Let’s go!”. Our first ramp was a two-piece slide and it broke in about a week. Found the tri-fold ramp w/large steel pin hinging and my husband said WOW this is really well made and bought it immediately. My Newf is 190 lbs. w/almost 5 inch diameter paws and very large boned. The old ramp had give to it and he used it like a spring board which is surprising it lasted this long. The old tri-fold broke at one of the hinging areas (plastic encircling the steel pin) luckily near the ground. We use the ramp on average (in and out) once a day. On weekends it is several times a day so about 4,800 uses over its life? What’s that .03 cents a use… With his huge toe nails & weight digging in for traction, of course there are scratches in the non-skid areas but he’s never slipped even when the ramp was wet. I would worry about carpet snagging a toe nail or get wet and stink as we keep the ramp in the SUV. Our mud magnet can really trash the ramp but it hoses off & dries quickly. It is a bit heavy and takes up some room but anything sturdier or wider would take up more room and be even heavier. Its weight is not a problem for us and the new one actually seems lighter. The lip curves over the tailgate of the 04 Blazer well for getting out and never slides around. The lower step under the tailgate works well for getting in with just a bit of a hop. I have never found stability a problem. In setting up the new one I removed the stability strap as it was looped under the lip causing the ramp to slide back and forth. When he can’t make the little hop in anymore, he certainly won’t be able to walk and pull himself up the height that the ramp has to make into our SUV. So shape and height of any given vehicle’s tailgate or ramp entrance should be considered before purchasing. Many have stopped and asked us where to get such a great ramp for big dogs as they watched our boy go in or out. I’ve had the new one for several weeks now, I believe the mfg’r has read reviews because the traction grit has been increased (can hurt the knuckles) and the lower hinging area has more of an arc so less bounce. Maybe the next best thing would be a lift-gate of sorts. I have not seen a sturdier (take with you) ramp anywhere. For what it is worth, I give this BIG kid ramp a BIG 5!

I have owned and used this for about 6 years now and have found it excellent for my two labrador retrievers who each weigh about 40kg. Previously bought a metal framed one which bent and became useless very quickly. Only maintenance that it has required is to stick new sandpaper type material onto the 3 sections as the original wore smooth after so many years of use.

Don’t be put off, this is worth the money, this really helps my 14yr old, 35kg labrador get in and out of my BMW X3 with no probelms, it’s not light but it needs to be sturdy to do the job so worth the effort.

This ramp is strong, sturdy and a good width, which holds my GSD with ease. The only downside is that it’s a little heavy and therefore awkward to load into the car roof-box.
