Pet Gear Full Length Tri-Fold Dog Car Ramp, Chocolate / Black

We bought this ramp for my Airedale Rhett Butler. I was skeptical that he would actually use it. I first put on the floor & had him walk on it. Then placed it on a chair for elevation & he walked up & down. Lastly connected it to the tailgate of our new truck & he walked right up it. Rhett weighs about 70 lbs & the ramp is very sturdy. I am very happy with it. It’s true the surface is like sand paper but it doesn’t seem to bother Rhett.

I ordered this ramp for our old 50 pound dog mostly because of its long length and narrow width and its simple design. I hoped the surface would not be slippery. False hope. It had obviously been returned by somebody because the surface was damaged. Our dog damaged it more as he struggled to use it. Like one viewer suggested I got some self-stick carpet tiles to apply to it. I hope they help.

This ramp would be 5 stars except for the sandpaper used for traction. I saw numerous reviews complaining about it but bought it because the longer length and solid construction made it the best choice. My husband replaced the sandpaper with flat carpet by cutting up a rubber backed floor mat - now it's perfect! Our senior rescue Golden Retriever walked up it after only a little persuading. It's solid, stable, folds up easily and lightweight to carry. If anyone with influence over the manufacture ever reads the reviews I strongly recommend they fix the problem like we did.

The dog ramp is well made. I think there is a long learning process for older dogs to use it. The sections of the ramp are covered with something like fine sandpaper which I don't think it a good choice. The dog couldn't get her footing when learning to use it. Still working on it.

Our thirteen year old 30 lb standard dachshund has developed back issues. We bought this ramp to span three steps from our outdoor deck to our paver patio, anchoring the top of the ramp between the boards of the deck. With a bit of training, our dog learned how to walk and up down the ramp and thus enjoys an outing in “his” backyard. We may try it to get the dog into the back of our Subaru station wagon as pictured in the photo advertisement Thank you for this handy solution. The ramp arrived quickly and we are very pleased.

Item is good quality. Heavier in weight then I expected and not fond of the sand paper skid surface. Otherwise, believe it will do well and we are starting to get the idea of how to go up and down on it.

Great construction, easy to fold/unfold and use. But... the "grip" that is on the surface of the ramp is, literally, sandpaper. My pup refused to use it until we removed the sandpaper and replaced it with sticky back carpet tiles cut to fit. Now he absolutely loves it. My Sister-In-Law saw mine pre-carpet, loved it and got one for her golden, who also refused to use it because of the sandpaper. She's getting carpet tiles this weekend.

Just what we needed, though our 65 pound labradoodle is still too scared to walk up it without a lot of coaching. We'll have to work on that part... it flexes when he walks on it which scares him. Wondering if we should have purchased the extension type as they might not flex as much underneath the dog's weight?

this is a wonderful thing to help my 12 year old 98 lb dog get in and out of the car more easily. even folded and used as a step, it helps! Has made traveling and going places easier due to his arthritis!

85lb 10 year old timid male learned to walk up and down the ramp. Using treats and encouragement several times a day, Shadow gradually made headway and after a week and a half is fully adapted to ramp. It is a winner! Sturdy, non-slip, great price, no shipping costs.
