PetSafe Happy Ride Telescoping Pet Ramp

Probably used it 20 times so far. Keep it inside extended cab. 1. The grip surface torn easily by 100 pound lab. 2. Way to heavy 3. Snap lock to hold sliding segment in closed position is difficult to reach and operate. I doubt it will last long functionally. 4. It is heavy. When dog is inside it must be stored in truck bed. Putting it in bed is easy. Getting it out is another story. Why 4A. The carry handle barely has room to allow my fingers within the loop to grab 4B. Because of 4A two hands are needed to lift it high to clear the bed. If one is not careful where the hand is placed and there is a slight slip say goodbye to skin, hello blood 5. On use #20 (it may be less) I reach Probably used it 20 times so far. Keep it inside extended cab. 1. The grip surface torn easily by 100 pound lab. 2. Way to heavy 3.

This review is about the XL size ramp. The size chart claims the tread surface is 20 inches, however the actual tread surface is only 15 inches wide. The entire width of the ramp is a total of 20 inches, however a dog is not expected to walk on the raised aluminum lip or the slippery sides where the sandpaper grip does not cover. Again, the actual tread surface from edge to edge of the sandpaper covering is only 15 inches wide. Because of this falls measurement on the product information page, I ordered it thinking it was wide enough to accommodate my very large dog, but it is not. It will have to be returned… Disappointed

This ramp is just what I expected it to be in terms of the ease of use and telescoping feature. It is a little longer than I expected, when compressed but that's my fault for not checking the measurements. I have a 100lb 1 yr old Bullmastiff who has learned how to walk down this ramp with no problems. He prefers walking down the ramp to jumping out of our truck. We're still working on the walking up, as he still likes to jump up in the truck, lol.

I have two problems with it. The first is it specifically states it can be used with cars, and Chewy answered the question can it work with a car side door, with the answer, and I quote "The ramp can be used at either side door on your vehicle. " The ramp does not work with either side door of my car. It simply doesn't fit past the door so it sits at a slant. This is pretty much made my primary use of it worthless. Second, the high traction walking surface is very abrasive. Had it worked for my for my car, I'm not sure if this would eventually cause a problem with my dog's feet. As it stands I can only state my concern. Apart from these items, I would imagine the ramp would probably work I have two problems with it.

We bought this before heading on a 19 hour cross country trip with our mobility limited 14 year old 95 pound bloodhound. Before getting this item we were quite concerned about getting her into and out of the back passenger compartment of a Toyota Tundra full size pick up, even though we already had equine rugged stairs. This was just perfect!! It was even better when we parked so the other end would be on top of a curb. The incline was so gradual she did not balk. (If you were putting your pooch in the back of the truck the incline would have been more.) It saved our cross country commute and made her (and us) much less stressed. This was a GREAT PURCHASE! It is strong and does not wobble We bought this before heading on a 19 hour cross country trip with our mobility limited 14 year old 95 pound bloodhound.

I was very leery that my German Shepherd would take to a ramp, but at 11 years her back legs are giving way so I went with the advice of an online GSD blog and purchased this particular ramp. I followed the directions (simple) and within 5 minutes my girl was going up and down the ramp into and out of my SUV. She's happy and so am I.

My 9 year old bullmastiff is starting to struggle with the steps to get in our house, and getting in and out of the car. This ramp is perfect! It’s not super heavy, and it fits in my trunk. The ramp has a little grip to it, so my dog is comfortable walking on it and doesn’t slip. I wish it wasn’t so pricey, but if it helps my dog live life more comfortably, then it is worth it.

We got this ramp in the XL for our black lab. We use it on the tailgate of our Chevy truck. Our dog is very tall and is about 83lbs. The ramp works well, although the sandpaper surface did scratch off pretty quickly, like other people mentioned. My only complaint is that sometimes it is awkward to "fold up" by yourself, and the telescoping feature doesn't slide that easily into itself unless you have a perfect angle.

I bought this for my neighbor dogs. They are small dogs but they are on the "fluffy" side and they can't jump into his truck. He was very impressed with this ramp and he is hard to please. He said it is VERY WELL BUILT. He really liked the quality of the metal and the coating on the ramp itself.

The ramp is lightweight and easy to handle. The dogs adapted well to using it. The only negative is that the ramp’s surface is very easily scratched up and looks bad. The ramp works well and that’s the important part. We are satisfied.
