What are the Dog Ramps for Cars, SUVs, and Trucks?
The Dog Ramps are an ideal pet accessory to help your dog or cat climb in and out of cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans. The Travel-Lite Bi-Fold Dog Ramp (blue) measures 66 inches in length, an ideal size for most SUVs and trucks. The Travel-Lite Tri-Fold Dog Ramp (cocoa) measures 71 inches in length. The security straps help to keep the pet ramp stable when used in the trunk/rear loading area. Although dog ramps are often used to help senior or arthritic pets, they can also be used to help younger pets reduce the risk of developing arthritis.

How it works:
Pet ramps like the Travel-Lite Bi-Fold and Travel-Lite Tri-Fold Dog Ramps can be used to help your pet climb in and out of your car, SUV, or truck, or the ramps can also be used to get up onto elevated furniture such as a sofa or bed. No assembly required. Simply unfold and set the ramp in place.
Cautions: Do not use to load people or other objects.
Directions (To set up):
•
Unfold the Dog Ramp and place on a
firm surface with carpeted mats facing up.
•
Watch for pinch points while unfolding the pet ramp.
•
Be sure the ramp is secure and all four corners are
supported before allowing your pet onto the ramp.
Tip: The side latch helps to keep the ramp securely folded if you need to move or carry the ramp.
How to Purchase the Right Pet Ramp for Your Dog or Cat
•
Is the pet ramp for short or tall areas? The taller the area, the longer the ramp will need to be to reduce the incline for your pet.
•
Make sure your pet does not exceed the individual pet ramp weight limitations.
•
Will you be taking the pet ramp along with you when you travel?

Getting her into the car has never been easier. At first she was reluctant, but after following a treat trail.. Up she went! I can tell she appreciates the carpet very much, as opposed to a harder surface. No more CARRYING her into the car. Ms. Independent once again!
My dog is a 90 lb, 13 years old black Lab and has hurt his left hind leg running after a squirrel. The ramp in question is way too bouncy and scares my dog. He tries to jump off it and hurts his leg even more.
We recently purchased the bi-fold dog ramp and love it. Rudi is only 1 year 2 mos. old and has really bad hip dysplasia and couldn't get up in my small SUV. He took to the ramp immediately and walks up and down it with ease. Now he loves to get in the car to go to lake for his walks.
He weighs 58 lbs and the ramp is sturdy, folds and unfolds easily and its smaller size fits into my small SUV, yet is long enough to work great. I highly recommend this ramp for your dog and for saving your back. The 1-800-petmeds representative was so friendly and helpful and called me by name and asked immediately how Rudi was doing. Love them, will order again.
At first I wasn't sure the ramp was going to work as my lab is blind and I practically had to lift her up it. Was not sure it was wide enough either. After using a half dozen times she goes up and down like a pro with just a little guidance from me. Sure is great not to see her panic when trying to git in the car and missing and falling half in and half out of the car. I am very happy with this ramp.
the ramp seems fine, it just didn't work with my dog (75 lb aussie). he was reluctant to climb on it as it seems a little wobbely. he would spread his back legs and was too wide to fit on theramp and would fall off. will end up buying steps.
Our dog will be getting into a one ton dually truck back seat. He usually jumps from the ground up but will be 10 this year(LAB). I think the angle would be too steep from the seat down but will this unit set on the edge of the door jam at the back seat if it opens far enough? Thanks
Our 8 year old 85 lb Golden Retreiver has the same problem. I purchased the ramp to help her get up into our large (high) SUV. The problem the dog is having is not the angle but the material on the face of the ramp is not sticky or rough enough for her to gain traction going up the ramp. As a result I have to keep my hand on her rear end and push her up the ramp to get her into the SUV. The ramp has a curved lip that fits nicely on the edge of the tailgate to keep it steady.
