USA Made Adjustable Pet Ramp for All Dogs
In my opinion, this is a great option for the home. This ramp combines quality, usability, and an attractive appearance.
What I like:
- 6 positions for height adjustment;
- the frame is made of sturdy birch wood;
- can hold up to 200 lbs;
- folds up for easy storage (can be stuffed under a bed or in a closet);
- ribbed mat for good traction;
- excellent quality workmanship (made in the USA).
Best Pet Supplies Foam Pet Steps
If your little dog needs help getting on the bed or couch, but you don’t want to buy a bulky, heavy ramp, then these padded steps might appeal to you.
What I like:
- 3 sizes (with three, four, and five steps);
- a wide variety of colors;
- relatively inexpensive price;
- removable, washable cover;
- fits in the rooms’ interior;
- made in the USA from premium materials to ensure durability.
But. These steps are not handy to store if you want to put them away for a while. They can also be slippery.
PetSafe Happy Ride Deluxe Telescoping Pet Ramp
This is a telescopic, adjustable ramp from the popular pet supplies manufacturer PetSafe. It will fit cars of different heights from minivans to SUVs.
What I like:
- made of sturdy aluminum, withstands up to 400 pounds (it has been tested for durability);
- easy to unfold and fold;
- large angle of incline makes it easy for your dog to climb;
- lightweight, only 13 lbs (means it won’t be hard to lift);
- small side handrails will prevent paws from slipping;
- the surface is easy to clean from dirt.
Gen7Pets Natural Step Ramp for Vehicles
Another option for a dog ramp for vehicles, but a little cheaper. And it folds in a different way. The ramp will fit a variety of vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps. Gen7Pets also has a mini backseat ramp.
What I like:
- it looks like a case with a handle when folded down. This ramp is easy to carry and store in the trunk;
- relatively light weight (17 lbs);
- sturdy case made of thick plastic.
Still, this ramp is inferior to the previous one. It is heavier, and the carpeting is more difficult to clean.
Dog Ramps-Stairs
The manufacturer offers a 4-step and a 5-step ladder. It can be used near the trunk or near the side entrance of the car. The ramp is also suitable for home use.
What I like:
- the ladder is light and compact when folded and easy to carry;
- made of aluminum;
- choice of steps with anti-slip rubber coating or mat;
- it is possible to adjust the angle of incline to make the descent more gentle;
- It comes with a safety strap that hooks inside and keeps the steps from slipping g out.
Buyers guide
When choosing a ramp for your home or car, pay attention to the following parameters:
- how much weight the product can support;
- how stable it is;
- whether the ramp can be folded for convenient storage (think, will you be comfortable if it is not foldable?)
- how much the ramp weighs (if it’s too heavy, you won’t be comfortable);
- how easy you can clean it. The rubber coating is enough to wipe down, but the carpets need to be washed somehow. In addition, ramps for outdoor use should be made of moisture-resistant materials.
Tip: Look for adjustable ramps so you do not miscalculate the length. You will be able to adjust the length.
Do I really need a ramp for my dog? Some dogs have a hard time climbing onto a couch or other elevated places. One wrong jump can lead to injury. In addition, the constant difficult climbs and descents take a toll on the joints, and for older dogs, it causes discomfort and pain. Therefore, it is better to buy a ramp for these dogs.
