PetSafe Happy Ride Folding Pet Ramp, Portable Lightweight Dog Ramp for Cars, Trucks & SUVs

So far, I have really enjoyed this pet ramp. It's lightweight and portable, which makes it superb for carrying around. The non-slip surface enhances my pet's safety, and I absolutely love it. I feel it well-suited for large vehicles because of its 62-inch length. Plus, it's so easy for pets to use independently. The folding feature is also a great addition for easy storage. All in all, it's an impressive and highly functional tool for pet owners.

This ramp truly is great. I love that it's very sturdy, it was a very non-skid surface, it is super easy to fold and unfold, no struggle whatsoever, and this middle-aged woman can pretty easily lift and carry and move this ramp with one hand. My only downside was that I intend to use this item in the relatively small area of our TV room so the dogs can get on top of their crate, and this does take up a larger footprint than I wanted. In a larger home, or a larger room, or just about any other use I can imagine, this is the top-notch option.

Got it today, and training of the dog to use it took a whooping 5 minutes. Must already have a dog that trusts you and is already trained. Otherwise good luck. Whatever you do, DO NOT FORCE THE DOG TO USE IT, the dog must learn how to use it at its own pace, once this is done it becomes second nature to them. And don't tease the dog by not taking it around the block at least to let them enjoy getting in the car...think of it as a reward instead of stuffing their faces with unhealthy treats. The product isn't as light weight as people may lead you to believe, but compared to other ramps this is light. This ramp weights in at approx 15 lbs. The bulk of the unit coupled with no side handle makes it awkward to carry. A good handy man can fix that in 5 minutes. It has rubber nubs, I wouldn't call them feet, but they do offer some slip protection on the vehicle. Probably a good idea to kneel next to it so if there is an issue you are right there to prevent any mishaps. This provides added confidence for the dog so they don't seem to be up in the air without any side protection.Overall a good solid product. Glad I got it.UPDATE: Just got back from a month long trip to San Diego, and this unit performed great. Fast and easy to set up. Storage is a bit tricky, so make sure you have room or a secure location for it. One important safety notification is to make sure any part of you is clear of the closing section of the ramp, because it is unforgiving if any part of you is in it when it closes. Big ouchy if that happens. Dog did a great job using it, however, the dog did seem to have issues with its paws on the sandpaper surface on steeper inclines. Not sure if the dog was uncomfortable or in discomfort going down the ramp, but the dog jumped off the unit. Didn't have a problem going up at the same incline, so pay attention to this if you have an older dog. If you happen to get sand or dirt in the small chambers of the unit, a few simple clam shell claps together will clear any debris quickly and easily. Didn't try this myself, but even though it may say it supports upto 250lbs., you need to remember this is 250 lbs of a dog on 4 legs which distributes its weight over a larger area than a human on 2 legs. I can see where a child may want to use it, but I have a feeling that the centralized weight of a human child might cause this unit to collapse or buckle, so I recommend not allowing children to get on this unit.

When I first got this (two weeks ago) I was impressed with the build quality, structure and easy of assembly. Its a little heavy, cumbersome and I imagine that it might be tricky to put into place while keeping your dog at bay - but nothing you wouldn't be prepared for.The two problems I had with this are: 1. Dimensions. Its too narrow and too short for my German Shepherd. It makes for a steep ramp for my small car and seems completely impractical for our SUV or truck.2. The grip paper started peeling off after only two weeks.All that being said, there don't seem to be many alternatives that are better so Im going to stick with this. Just be aware of what you are getting.

This lightweight folding ramp is simple to fold and unfold. Wide and sturdy enough for a larger dog. Almost no coaxing needed due to the non-slip ramp surface. Dogs feel confident move up and down. The simple locking feature works well to help prevent pinched fingers. Slim enough when folded to fit behind driver's seat on the rear floor. I have a medium sized SUV and to fit it all the way to the rear seat, it is at too steep of an angle for my senior dog. Instead, I place it on the rear door jamb and is a short hop to the seat. Works great.

Very sturdy and works great for my sheltie (28 pounds) to get up and down the porch.
