B00006OALW, The original PetSTEP Folding 70″ Pet Ramp is the perfect accessory to help pets climb in and out of the back of vehicles as well as on and off tables/furniture such as exam tables, sofas, beds or even up and down stairs with ease. This ramp has a gentle slope that provides assistance to pets that cannot leap onto high surfaces. The Folding 70″ Pet Ramp by PetSTEP is made from high-quality plastic materials, which makes it sturdy and durable. The ramp has several safety features including a unique non-slip ridged surface that is not found on other ramps. This surface is soft on pets paws…, 4, Reviewer: KSRating: 5.0 out of 5 starsTitle: Solid and versatileReview: This is a solidly built ramp with a nice design. The stepped rubber lip at the top of the ramp is thoughtfully made and works with a variety of vehicles, gripping the edge at different heights/angles without marring. The rubber tread material along the walkway is a deal breaker — easy to rinse off, great traction and softer on paws than sandpaper-type material.It folds for storage, but because it is solid, it does take up a good deal of space even in it’s folded state. However, my 70 pound dog feels confident going up and down, so for my purposes, it’s bulky design is an acceptable trade-off. I think that it is heavy, but again, it’s a trade-off — nothing flimsy about this product.Definitely take the time to acclimate your pet to use of a ramp. I left mine flat for a day and led my dog over it using treats. (At first, she didn’t know what to do with it and kept hopping over it — once she understood that she was supposed to walk on it, she happily obliged — anything for treats!)The next day, I set it up on a shallow/low retaining wall and “blocked” the sides using boxes that were taller than the ramp. She followed the ramp to get the kibble that I trailed up and down. She was comfortable with it after a few 10 minute play sessions and was happily running up and down without needing to be directed onto it. It wasn’t until she was confident on the shallow incline that I led her into our vehicles with it.The top is too wide for the door of my compact suv (older model RAV4) but works great for the back. There is a door attachment, but I don’t have it so can’t comment on it’s effectiveness.The ramp works without attachments for both the door and the truck bed of our larger Tundra … though the incline is quite steep when using it to allow her into the bed — so we are more careful to guide her up & down so that she doesn’t fall. (She loves hanging out with us up there when we get ice cream!)Reviewer: Sneaky BurritoRating: 5.0 out of 5 starsTitle: is really helping my Rottweiler get up and down my front steps (she has torn ligaments in both knees)Review: I got this for my Rottweiler to use to go up the three front steps to my house from ground level. And even though I’ve only been using it for a short time, I’m very happy with it. It was definitely worth the extra money to get this ramp as opposed to any of the others.My Rottie is only about three years old but she is having problems with her joints. She has inflammatory bowel disease, so she is on a high dose of prednisone to suppress her symptoms. Unfortunately, this high dose of prednisone has resulted in a significant loss of muscle mass (over 10 pounds lost). This resulting loss in muscle mass has made her knees less stable. She had a torn CCL (a ligament equivalent, basically, to the ACL in a human) in one knee and she tore the CCL in her other knee by overusing the “good” knee. So she has a whole host of problems to deal with. Plus, I just moved into a house a few weeks ago, and it has some kind of steep front steps. My dog is having a lot of trouble negotiating these steps, especially with her knee injuries. So I wanted a ramp to make it easier on her.My dog weighs about 82 pounds right now. This ramp holds her weight although it (the ramp) is maybe a little flexible. It is certainly not appropriate for a person to walk on (I tried), but the way a dog’s weight is distributed is different from a human’s, and this held up my dog perfectly well. There are rubberized ridges all up and down the face of the ramp, so the dog doesn’t slip at all. The width is perfectly fine for a dog the size of mine. And this sits securely on my step — it’s been there all day and hasn’t moved an inch.This weighs under 20 pounds so I don’t find it too heavy (a box of cat litter weighs more, by comparison). Of course, since I am using it at my house, it is staying in place and I am not having to transport it. It folds and unfolds easily.As for getting the dog to use it, mine picked it up very quickly. (I’m actually quite proud of her…) The first three time, she wouldn’t use it. The fourth time, I put some kibble on the ramp (spread out from top to bottom) and she walked up the ramp, eating the kibble. Since, she has gone up and down numerous times — all with kibble on the ramp at this point. Eventually I am going to stop using the kibble, but for right now, she needs that little extra incentive. Still, I was encouraged by how quickly she understood what to do.This is a neutral color. One thing to note: a large portion of mine was discolored (yellowish instead of brown). This did not affect the quality or performance so I plan to just use the ramp as-is.This is so much easier on her knees, and I love that she can’t slip.Reviewer: RemydogRating: 4.0 out of 5 starsTitle: Does what it claimsReview: We have a 9 year old lab mix who has terrible arthritis, making it tough for him to jump up into my Toyota Highlander. But he loves to go on walks. I recently pulled out my back trying to lift him up into the car (he weighs about 80 pounds), so I was looking for a solution to make it easier to take him to our local nature trails where he is allowed to run off lead. This unit works very well and I highly recommend it.After reading review of this and other products, I chose the Petstep. There is nothing to do for assembly, although it was delivered with bracing that allows you to lock the unit in the unfolded position. It is slightly awkward to fold and unfold, but given what it is designed to do, I can’t imagine any way to build it that would make it easier, except perhaps to add handles to the sides.The unit folds and unfolds pretty easily. There is a spring loop catch to hold it closed. I don’t know how long that will last, but it seems adequate. It is not so heavy that lifting it into the car is a problem. I usually put the dogs in the cargo area and then the ramp fits on the floor of the back seat.The ramps is pretty solid when unfolded. The treads are rubberized for traction. The unit is rated for 250 or 300 pounds, so I decided to try it myself. At 200 pounds, when I walked up it, it felt a bit unstable, especially at the center. For the dog, though, it is perfectly adequate.I did not find much merit to those who claim there is a pinching hazard. It would be odd to have your fingers placed anywhere near the crush points while folding this. And there are clear labels warning of the hazard.Reviewer: ãããããRating: 5.0 out of 5 starsTitle: Review: æ¬æ¥ã«å±ãã¾ãããããã¸ã4ã¤ããã¯ãã§ãããé梱å¾ã«3ã¤ãããªãã§ããããããã¦æ¢±å

It worked really well while he needed it. Super quick and easy to set up, was grippy enough for the dog. The only thing that could be improved is the weight and size but I’m not sure how that could be achieved if you want a sturdy ramp. I always buckled it inside my car with a small rachet to the hooks in the car.I recommend this ramp if you’re looking for a good quality one that your dog will trust to go up and down.Reviewer: 大貫 åªéRating: 4.0 out of 5 starsTitle: Review: ä»ã®ååããæºããªãã®ã§ã¯ã³ãã£ã³ãæãããªãã主ã«40ããã®ã´ã¼ã«ãã³ã«ä½¿ã£ã¦ããã60ããã®ã»ã³ããã¼ãã¼ãã§ãä½è£ãReviewer: HeatherRating: 3.0 out of 5 starsTitle: Review: product seems well built though my dog will not step on it.
