I bought this ramp for other then a dog. I am 80 years old and need a way to get my husbands walker/transit chair into the back of my Jeep. I can not lift it and considered the weight of the ramp also. The ramp is so easy for me to handle, open, set up, use and fold and place back in the car. I liked having the edges on the sides to help it stay on, which would be for a dog also. I like that it is 62″ so it is not a steep incline which I know would be easier for dogs too rather then a short ramp with steep incline. The ramp seems very well made.
Works great so far so good. Dog can no longer jump, slipped disk in neck, trying to train her to go up and down, thanks
I have been looking all over for a sturdy, lightweight, easily transportable car ramp for our aging Collie. There are manyramps out there, but not that show the use with a normal car side door. Most show pictures of the ramp being used on the back of a large pick-up truck, or with the sliding doors of a van, or suv. The PetSafe Happy Ride Folding 62″ Pet Ramp works perfectly with our Nissan Sentra. We also use a pet hammock in the back seat so our dog does not fall into the back seat floor on our rides. The hammock also helps support the upper left area of the ramp. I also purchased a strap system that can be hooked from the car side door frame to the upper ramp for support, however with the hammock, I find I do not need the strap. Our dog is 79 pounds and the ramp is 100% sturdy and secure. Yes, the walking surface is rough (I could easily file my nails on it) but it does not seem to bother my dog at all. The pads of her feet are not bothered by this. We had attempted to make our own ramp which she refused to use, it was wobbly and difficult to fit it precisely in the door opening, but the PetSafe ramp fits just right, and is long enough to not be too steep of a climb into the car. Very happy with my purchase!
We have an over weight dog who couldn’t jump into the truck. Purchased this ramp. Couldn’t be happier !!
Works perfectly for my beagle getting in and out of my jeep….expert on the first try. I use an old yoga mat on it for traction but am planning to use Carpet secured by Velcro strips.
Really like this ramp it folds easily and is light enough for the majority of people to handle.
The non slip surface is awesome. It’s taking me a little time to train my dog to use it but as an older dog who’s never used a ramp it’s a tad awkward. It would be even better if it had a carry handle built into the desig
I have a Corgi and when I got my new Santa Fe it was too high for him to jump into the back. This Ramp fits folded in half easily, its heavy duty plastic material with a rough surface. My corgi was hesitant at first but now uses it on command. Recommend.
This ramp is very easy to fold and is nice and light to transport. Love it.
My great dane/german shepherd mix (105lbs) was injured and needed surgery- I ordered this that morning (2 days before surgery) and it arrived so quickly. The traction is nice, as it was snowing when it has been used. Despite my dog’s ‘great dane’ hesitancy, he used it with ease. Overall for the price, lightweight and super quick shipping I would recommend this product!
Worked great for my dogs. It is a little steep though because my car is a little high
Works ok, but the metal rod where it folds, keeps easing out and have to push it back in every few days.
I’ve got two large dogs and we have no issues with this ramp. Light weight, sturdy and easy to handle even by yourself. Very glad we bought it!!
funktioniert perfekt, durch die Breite nimmt es unser Hund an, rauhe Oberfche daher rutscht unser Hund nicht aus . Durch das Zusammenklappen leicht aufzubewahren und im Auto angenehm zum Transportieren.
Zu Beginn allerdings mussten wir mit Leckerli tricksen, damit die Treppe angenommen wurde.
This folding ramp has proved effective for our 30Kg Dog gaining access in & out of our car rear. However..I had to glue pieces of industrial carpet on the tread areas as his damp feet slipped, it’s now very effective.
Simple to use, robust and secure.
It is perhaps a bit heavy and our dog slips a bit on the surface, so I am going to stick on carpet tiles.
Just starting to train our Labrador to use the ramp.
Have had to add Rubber Mats to ramp as our dog found coating slippery to climb.
I got this for my 40kg bulldog as he has arthritis in his shoulder and it’s absolutely brilliant. He took to using it straight away after a couple of mins practice in the garden. Yes it’s bulky but it does the job perfectly
our dog has arthritis and cannot jump into the car. She learned very quickly to use the ramp. Being a lab it needs to be sturdy and long enough to create a gentle gradie
Used this after my dog had an operation on his leg. Was great to use on steps in and out of house and into the car. Robust, easy to fold up and put in the car. Very happy with product.
It took a few days to get the dog used to this, but when he’s really tired this is really helpful in getting him out.
Good for preventing any impact from him jumping down.
He’s 55kg and the ramp is fine with this weight.
We haven’t managed to use this yet we’ve brought it ready for when our two springers can no longer jump in the boo
Great product feels safe when our GSD uses it. Easy to fold , very pleased with it, thoroughly recommend it.
My Labrador was getting very crippled. With the stress for her trying to jump up to get into the jeep was putting a lot of strain on her joints. This ramp has been a godsend for her and didn’t take long for her to get used to it.
Good lightweight ramp. My old Collie was able to use it well
If it was slightly longer it would have made the gradient a bit
less steep. Good non slip surface
Great service came next day on ordinary post. Lightweight and easy to use
Fantastic! Really well made and great product for the price. Elderly greyhound managed no problem to get in and out of the car using the ramp. Very pleased!!
This is substantial so suitable for big dogs. Mine didn’t like the sandpaper style grip so replaced it with carpet tile, cheap fix now resolved the issue of the dogs slipping . One dog uses it reluctantly but much better than lifting or asking them to jump. Does the job.
Perfect for our 50lb dog who had previously damaged her front ankles by jumping out of the car.
This product will also be a great aid as she gets older.
Dog still a little nervous but getting better. Would have liked clearer instructions on which end goes on the floor & which on the car, found out by trial & error. However I am pleased with the product, my large dog has plenty of room either side just needs treats to get up.
On the whole very good and easy to use. Because of the steepness we used a towel to give a bit more traction for our Labrador who was recovering from an operation on his elbows. Worked fine.
The ramp is lightweight and quite easy to fold. The surface does not have sufficient grip for our dog so we have attached a sheet of material to stop him slipping.
We liked the product, unfortunately our bull mastiff boxer cross has arthritis and having a 4×4 it’s quite steep and he does not have the power in his back legs to get up i
Arrived today – very sturdy. Easy to use with one person. Dog treats a must for pet to get use to.
good quality dog didn’t like at first , claws made a lot of scratchy noises laid a towel on it and she will now use it .
My dog feels safe on the ramp and uses it willingly.
My dog Gretal absoloutely refuses to use it,not interested at all even when tempted with a treat.So in the cupboard and looking for anew owner(the ramp not the dog)
It works well but is quite heavy and does not fit easily into car … not suitable to transport around with you. Would not buy agai
This ramp is good to get my girl Sam who is my sheppard in to my car after her haveing a hip op as didn’t want to lift her in and hurt her she wasn’t keen at first but seems ok now just a shame it’s not a little wider!
Good and sturdy but my dog does not like it he refuses to climb up it, so looks like I’m still going to have to continue to help him in the car boot.
My 9 yr old Border Collie c 20 kg learnt to use this in a few minutes with the help of some treats. Folds easily and fits in the back of my Toyota Yaris.
It is excellent. Very strong and easy to position. Good curve at top to fit rear of car section.
Very easy to move around. All I hoped for and more. My old dog loves it and thinks he is back doing the dog walk in Agility!
Mary Piers
Ideal for our Springer Spaniel. Walked him along the ramp as instruction advised. Placed it on the boot, he then walked up, no problem, and coming down just the same. We keep a steady hand ready just in case. No problem so far. Very please with our purchase.
My two elderly GSDs mastered this quickly and works on a Peugeot 3008 with tailgate, sturdy and good value.
Does what it says on the tin – excellent and a great price.
It took ten minutes to teach dog very stable a have a 40kg lab and it copes brillia
Very pleased. It is very sturdy , my border collie had no problem using it.
Absolutely perfect for allowing our labradoodle puppy to access our ca
Very solid ramp, my parents use it for a large Akita.
Good quality, reasonably light and easy to fold away. Good grip on surface. Sadly can’t get my old boy to use it…you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! Will keep trying 🙂
Great ramp for our 9 year old chocolate labrador recovering from surgery. Good grip and reassuring sides. Did a couple of practice runs on the flat and onto the sofa before using it to access the dog crate in the back of our VW Sharan (25cm height). She walks up it more calmly now and we wouldn’t be without it. Looks smart and hinge easily folds once to tuck ramp in the car boot. Weatherproof too. The fast delivery was appreciated.
Excellent ramp. Our boy would only it to come down not go up.( quite a wooser ). Alas he passed away last December but have kept it just in case.
Well made and sturdy none slip. I would recommend this ramp. Good value.
Love this product. Exactly as it says on the description. Sturdy and durable. My only negative would be, that my 11 year old dog on occasion, finds the angle a tadd too steep, so needs a helping arm behind her. Other than this it is perfect. I have a Vauxall corsa so not anything extreme in hight but still steep at times, it seems.
Marvellous Sheila took to it right away no slipping grea
Took a couple of tries and some plush carpet fixed on it,(she did not like the sound of her claws on it) now absolutely great, so much easier for my old Retriever.
Bought the ramp for my 39kg Retriever and it’s helping him & his arthritic legs in & out of the car.
Tried other ramps which did not feel strong enough to take his weight.
This is a great value, sturdy dog ramp. Bought for my 15 year old labrador…so takes a good bit of weight ! Easy to use and store. I would most certainly recommend this product.
Flynn took to using it very quickly on ly need a couple of treats. Very sturdy.
Lightweight and durable, dog took to it after a little coaxing, there is a raised edge to the ramp which is good but this isn’t enough to prevent the dog from falling off so care needs to be taken walking them both up and down the ramp. Would recommend as this saves my back now that dog is not able to jump in the car himself!
Utterly brilliant – this ramp has transformed my elderly collie’s life. He is almost totally blind, and going down stairs has become really hard. If I position him at the top of this ramp however, he trots down it very confidently – going up took a bit longer to crack, but he’s fine now. The non-slip surface is excellent, even in the rain. At 18 he needs to get down the steps to the back garden quite often, and this makes it possible.
Bought this for my ageing border collie cross, to save him trying to jump up the backdoor step from the garden. Leave it out in all weathers and, so far, it has survived.
Seems good and fit for purpose. Two of the four rubber stops weren’t attached but they were in the box and so were the screws. Cocker took to it immediately. Elderly Springer (reason for buying) is considering it at the french door at the moment. Seems strong enough. I would have paid a little more if a zip up bag had been provided. In muddy conditions or after a beach visit it needs storing in the car, not the boot with the dogs, so the inevitable black bag will have to do.
Good quality, pity dog wouldn’t go near it he suddenly recovered from his stiffness when this arrived at the boot.
Vey good.. Wish I had purchased sooner and saved my back.
Very good item. Strong and easy to use. a back saver!
Easy to use ,50 kg dog no flex,gd gripping for feet,lightweigh
STURDY RAMP, DOES NOT GIVE AT ALL WHEN DOG IS ON RAMP AND SHE IS A GERMAN SHEPHARD
Surface slippery – we put a dog bed mat over it and that works
Our dog had no problem using the ramp and didn’t take long to get use to it with treats put at the top. Delivery was the following day.
I lie it but the dog doesn’t lol, cant get him to walk on it, but will persevere
The ramp is as advertised and very suitable for a large dog with arthritis in the shoulders. We also use it to get her on and off the grooming table – ideal.
Very pleased with this ramp, using it for my 40kg, 11yr old chesapeake bay retriever, who has a shoulder injury. It was easy to get him used to by walking on it on the flat ground 1st. I use it in a passat estate. It is a bit bulky but worth it as I can now take my dog in the car again without aggrevating his shoulder. Looks sturdy. Good grip on surface. Overall very pleased with this purchase & I would recommend it.
It took a short while for the dog to get used to it but works fine now, thank you
Very sturdy but lightweight and easy to use. Perfect for our injured spaniel
Absolutely brilliant, light weight, easy to use, fits in car well. Only took my 13 year old collie a couple of days to get used to it and is now enjoying trips to the park again. Money well spent.
Excellent product. Light but sturdy and the perfect height for the average estate car.
i’m surprised that my dog took to this straight away. We laid it indoors with treats so she got used to walking along it. First time I put in the car she was up it – so she and I are very happy. Quite lightweight and quite easy to use. The little bit of plastic to secure it was broken, emailed supplier who put a replacement in the post – can’t fault that.
.
amp is good and solid. unfortunately I cant get the dog to use it.
Loved this. Really easy to use because it is lightweight and easily stored. Does exactly what it said.
We have an old disabled dog who cannot jump and is in too much pain to be lifted – in fact he bites if we try. The ramp is a godsend.
arrived quickly. product sturdy and our 12 year old doberman used it almost straight away. so much easier now getting her in and out of car. very pleased
Our elderly Springer struggled to get in the car this is great and very sturdy, I chose this for price and reviews by others. And pleased with purchase, easy to use and fold, does take a fair bit of space up in boot. Used treats to tempt our dog to use for first few times, but now he uses with no problems.
This ramp is very well made and closed very easily to store on the back seat of my car.
My dog did not like the ‘sandpaper’ type of finish, so I got some waterproof carpet a,d glued it on to the walking up area. Now it is fine.
Hard-wearing
Easy to use
Good non-slip surface for dog to use
Robust construction
Takes up little space when not in use
Very pleased with this ramp, it is lightweight so easily moved, yet can take a heavy dog, folds and is non-slip on the upper surface which gives the dog confidence. Recommended.
Fits nicely in the boot saves having to pick the old girl up and she soon got the idea of what to do.
A must for dachshunds and basset hounds long backs. No need to jump onto chairs or sofas. One great idea.
My 13 year old labrador has arthritis and was having problems jumping into my estate car. As he is 37kilos I was worried and this ramp has saved our lives! Bit unwieldy but rock steady and he trots up and down it happily! Only took a couplenof practice runs!
This is so easy to use and does exactly what it says it does. The only problem I have now is trying to get my little westie to use it but the training will continue.
I’ve had other dog ramps but none have been a patch on this one. Light and easy to carry, put in the car etc. Very sturdy though as my black labrador and my friends retriever decided to come down it at the same time.
Sadly my poor lab died before she could use it, but the ramp was great. I would really recommend it.
Fantastic now my dog can get into our caravan without hurting his back, as he suffers fro arthritis. Would recomend this to those who have a ageing pet.
Excellent product and very good value for money. I have two elderly German Shepherd dogs whom I would normally have to lift their back end into the tailgate of the car. They very quickly learned that the ramp makes it easy for them and now they go up and down happily.
I have two Basset Hounds and with their tiny legs and massive bodies I was tired of having to lift them into the 4×4 especially after they had gone on a muddy walk. This gives them plenty of width to walk up and they have never slipped on the surface. Fits in fairly well inside the boot. well worth the investment, even for larger dogs.
After much searching and getting a thorough headache I was delighted with this product. Perfectly robust for my Setter and she got used to it very quickly. This stows very neatly behind the passenger seat and is not too heavy for me to handle on a daily basis.
Highly recommended.
A very sturdy ramp, does not bend or wobble. folds up neatly in boot and light enough to get in and out. Took some training to get dog used to it but now he is vary happy to go on it and is certainly saving his joints from impact of jumping in and out.
Light easy to fold and stores nicely in the rear of my 4×4 dog not keen at first but getting used to it and it saves me having to lift him dow
Good for the money. Dog took some persuading but food bribes helped. The ramp is light enough for me to lift easily and strong enough to take the weight of a golden retriever. Not enough room to store in the back of my VW Golf when the dog’s there too. Scratchy surface doesn’t seem to bother dog. Could do with an easy strap or cover to keep tidy.
I am an old lady buying a ramp for my elderly dog. I was looking for something light, easily portable that could be opened up, closed, and put in the back of the car with ease. This ramp is brilliant. The dog is happier going down than going up, but she is happy to use it and it means we can continue to get out and about and visit the grandchildren. Also, the Amazon price is excellent.
I spent all afternoon reviewing dog ramps and after three hours and reading the review made by another customer came to the conclusion that what counts is weight, ease of use, depth of incline, anti-slip surface, width if your dog is medium to large size and sides to give a sense of security especially for elderly dogs.
The ramp arrived three days ago. It seems with some persuasion my dogs (collies aged 15 and 12 respectively) can be taught new tricks. Much more inclined to mount than descend the ramp but they seem to have caught on already. The sides are really important for old dogs. So far the only criticism is that the anti slip surface does not have quite as much grip as I might have hoped but as the dogs are closely monitored and held anyway it is ok. The ramp is quite bulky and only just fits in my ford focus boot along with the dog crate.
Thus far, I believe I made the right decision.
I bought this dog ramp after doing a lot of research on the internet. I am very happy with it and feel I bought just the right one. I found a link to Easy Animal which said they have an advice service and when I rang them I was asked a few questions about my dog and my vehicle and they suggested this Solvit Ultralite. I ordered it that morning and it arrived the next day. It is easy to use, very light weight, strong, wide enough for my border collie to totter a little on the way up and also there are sides which make her more safe. It folds in two and can easily be stowed away in the van. The surface is like a sandpaper effect which gives her a good grip. It was slightly more expensive than the other ones I had seen – 56ish- but worth every penny and I am totally satisfied.
When looking at lists of dog ramps this one doesn’t come up in the first ten or so but actually I think it is probably one of the best.
Now my dog is using it without any biscuit rewards and she is so much more relaxed now that she doesn’t have to jump in and out onto arthritic legs. We are travelling to Spain soon so the ramp will have a lot of use.
