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.
Improve the tread surface for wet conditions.
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.
Easy and manageable.
Really sturdy. Had tried a recommended telescopic ramp but it was heavy and hopeless to manage. This is simple and effective. My dogs are 80lbs each and this does the job.
Robust but heavy
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.
Dog Ramp
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.
Great for my 40kg bulldog
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
Easy to use.
I bought this for my 10 year old German Shepherd who suffered a Cruciate Ligament injury. He could no longer jump into our Fiat Doblo. The ramp is quite light and easy to get into place. It seems quite sturdy but I think if a large dog ran rather than walked up the ramp it may be quite bouncy. Our dog did not like the feel of the non slip surface. We resolved this by laying some fabric over it and he walks up now quite happily. The ramp definitely meets our requirements.
good value
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
Special aid for an elderly hound
For our elderly basset hound, getting into the car was becoming difficult. I was concerned that a ramp would not be sturdy enough but this is very strong, nicely finished with paw friendly anti slip surface, and she loves it. It takes her 36 Kilo frame with virtually no deflection and is extremely secure.
I have an old, 35 kg dog who is now unable to get in and out of my boot. I looked at more expensive ramps than this, but I wasn’t at all sure that he would use ANY ramp and in addition they were all much heavier than this one And I would not be able to lift them, let alone manipulate them. I was surprised at how sturdy this ramp was for the price. I can’t say that my dog likes it, exactly, and we’ve had a couple of times when he has an “misstepped”, but first I trained him on the flat, then on the front doorstep to my house and now he is much better with it. I recommend holding your dogs collar and steadying him with a hand on his backside! It has saved my life though, as my dog can’t be left.
Good!
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.
Good produc
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.
It's lightweight but sturdy
Only had this a few weeks. After getting our half-blind Labrador (28kg) used to its smell we tempted her across it, on the flat, a few times with a new treat. She was a little nervous the first few times she used it “for real” but the new treats helped. She now readily walks up without a treat in front of her nose but expects one when she reaches the top! So far, so good.
Anything for your pets ❤️❤️
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
Sturdy produc
Great product feels safe when our GSD uses it. Easy to fold , very pleased with it, thoroughly recommend it.
Fantastic dog ramp.
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.
Absolutely brillant i have a black Labrador and a English setter… this ramp is so very strong and fits to the car perfectly my furbabies took to it like ducks to water the none slip surface gives my boys confidents to walk up and down the ramp. I have happy paws and waggy tails.
Totally recommend this strong robust ramp well worth the money.
Thank you
Could have been a bit longe
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
Great service came next day on ordinary post. Lightweight and easy to use
Top buy! Ramp worth every penny
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!!
Problem solved
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.
Excellent dog ramp highly recommended.
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.
works for my greyhound
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.
A little steep when using on a Land Rover Freelande
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.
Lightweight and useful
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.
It's quite steep on a 4x4 but easier to use on a regular ca
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
Easy to assemble with one perso
Arrived today – very sturdy. Easy to use with one person. Dog treats a must for pet to get use to.
Light to move
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 .
Dog feels safe on it.
My dog feels safe on the ramp and uses it willingly.
Fabulas
Wonderful product. My dog only has 3 legs and unable to jump in to the car also she is too heavy for me to lift . She took to the ramp so easily and is totally none slip. I had an accident in January and broke the top of my arm and dislocated my shoulder and I am able to to open and close the ramp using one hand
looks very nice
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
Good sturdy ramp!
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!
On the first roadside use, we almost left with a rubber stop left on the roadside. I like the ramp, and so shall the dog–and the advice to guard each side with a person is useful–but I mark down for the lack of suitable washers to secure the rubber stops–the screws don’t give the stops adequate solidity. I’ll probably be heading to B&Q for four suitable washers (about 1/2″ diameter), which should really be bundled with the unit as standard.
Good and sturdy but my dog does not like it ...
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.
Excellent, really impressed with how sturdy it is. Purchased for a Rottweiler, Rottweiler x and Labrador and all of them are perfectly happy with it and I have no worries about it supporting them. Good, gritty non-slip surface. Quite wide, so it’s not like them ‘walking the plank’. Sits well over the bumper of my van and folds up tidily with a clip to fasten shut.
Well made and works well
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 positio
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!

Dog ramp
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.
Sturdy enough for GSDs
My two elderly GSDs mastered this quickly and works on a Peugeot 3008 with tailgate, sturdy and good value.
Strong, Sturdy and Safe.
Does what it says on the tin – excellent and a great price.
... stable a have a 40kg lab and it copes brillia
It took ten minutes to teach dog very stable a have a 40kg lab and it copes brillia
Sturdy and well made.
Very pleased. It is very sturdy , my border collie had no problem using it.
I’ve been using this for a couple of months or so now and I have to say I’m really pleased with it. Made from rigid and hard wearing plastic, the hinge has a metal insert all the way through it so it’s unlikely to break. Our two middle aged Springers got used to using it really quickly and its so much kinder on their leg joints instead of jumping in and out of the back of the car.
The only slight niggle is that the non-slip tread is glued on and VERY thin. The glue is fine but because of their claws, small tears appeared through the tread very quickly – I can imagine over time this will degrade the non-slip properties but for now at least, it’s absolutely fine. Would recommend
UPDATE – 31/07/17 – unfortunately last week the product broke BUT after contacting the seller they were BRILLIANT. They immediately offered a replacement or refund – and because I have been very happy with the ramp I asked for a replacement. I was expecting them to send it by the cheapest (and slowest) way possible so I was amazed when the replacement turned up the next day. Excellent customer service! Thank you.

Very solid ramp, my parents use it for a large Akita.
Good quality ramp
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.
I was looking for a ramp for my alsation to side load through the rear door onto the back seats. This product is brilliant, you can unfold and fold using only one hand leaving your other hand free to hold the dog if necessary. It is lightweight and fits either in the space behind the front seats or in the boot (I have a Renault Megane). It only sticks out about a foot after the car door is fully open but you’ll need to park by a pavement, not in a multi-storey car park inbetween 2 cars! The dog didn’t like it at first but soon got the hang of it. (Using treats helped!). We all think it’s great and far less stressful than trying to pick her up! Would definately recommend it.

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 produc
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.
Doggy Ramp
Flynn took to using it very quickly on ly need a couple of treats. Very sturdy.
Lightweight and manageable
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
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 ...
Good quality, pity dog wouldn’t go near it he suddenly recovered from his stiffness when this arrived at the boot.
Great piece of kit. This ramp fits on the back of my Landrover Freelander (approx 2 1/2 foot) & allows my Labrador in & out of the rear of the vehicle without the risk of him damaging himself by jumping. The ramp also fits my partners Suzuki Alto this is only a little car. We did have to train my Labrador to use the ramp, we this by putting it laying up against the sofa in the living room & using treats to get him to walk up down it. We then moved it onto the vehicle, using treats he quickly grasped what the ramp was for & we now use it all the time.

Very pleased!
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.

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.

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.
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
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.
Great buy
Loved this. Really easy to use because it is lightweight and easily stored. Does exactly what it said.
Help for old dogs
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.
excellent produc
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.
Well made dog ramp
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.
Excellent produc
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.
Useful item
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!
Does what it says
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.
Brilliant Produc
Sadly my poor lab died before she could use it, but the ramp was great. I would really recommend it.
dog ramp
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!
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.
Excelle
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.
Excellent light weight dog ramp
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.
