Usually I just lift them. The dogs I have don’t currently have problems, but before Cheyenne died there were a few times a ramp would have been very helpful. Even if my dogs are young and have no trouble now, a sudden injury could necessitate it. And I think they’d be much more comfortable with a ramp into the car than being picked up.

I could use one of these for myself – I’m quite hysterical to watch as I try to go from pier to boat or vice versa. Hahaha! Being a small dog, CindyLu has a good distance to just about everything, and a ramp would surely be a way to avoid injuries incurred jumping down from (relative) heights. I can also think of a hundred reasons this ramp would work great in our rescue kennel and foster homes, too. Fantastic idea!

My Ralphy is an 11 year old yellow lab. He can no longer get in and out of our car…it’s really sad because he misses going bye byes in the car! Having the ramp would be great for him and for us we miss going to the river and pet friendly events.

One of my dogs is just lazy and likes to be picked up and put in the car; the other has the beginnings of arthritis and does need help. So this would be great to have.

Sherman put his front legs up on the car and waits for me to lift his back part up! My back needs a break 😉

I currently use a folding ramp I bought at Costco, it does take a lot of room though. It would be nice to have telescoping ramp which would take up less room in the back of my truck.

Looks like a great solution! Bet my Newf would like to use one to help with getting in and out of the vehicle!

We lost all 3 of our ~50lb senior pups in 18 months. Some modifications we made include: the kitchen floor became a patchwork of assorted rubber backed throw rugs in order for everyone to maintain their footing, we used baby gates at the top and bottom of the stairs to the second floor to maintain supervision over climbing and descents, some of the sofa cushions (we have a large sectional, so this was easy to do) were removed so the pups had a shorter distance to climb yet they could still sleep on the sofa is they wanted to, my husband built a ramp outside our back slider for easier pup navigation, we used more baby gates on the deck steps’ top and bottom and installed non-slip treads on the steps for improved traction, and of course, we lifted them into the minivan when traveling was necessary (vet, etc). A ramp such as you are offering certainly would have been useful. Training our newly adopted 6 year old pup to use one of these ramps would be fun and helpful for us down the road….
