Rust and corrosion-proof, the ramp washes easily with soap and water. Attach the optional leg kit to create a table that's great for tailgating and picnics. 70"L x 17"W x 21/2"D. (Optional leg kit, item #28952).

This portable ramp from PetSTEP helps your pet overcome the prohibitive dimensions of stairs, vehicles, and furniture. To use, simply unfold the ramp and prop one end against a truck bed, vet table, or top step. Animals can walk up or down at a gentle incline, instead of struggling, jumping, or being lifted. With its sturdy structure and rubberized surface, the ramp helps reduce arthritis and dysplasia pain, lowers the chances of injury, and cuts down on back strain. The nonslip grip is compatible with virtually all edges. In addition to its primary function, the PetSTEP ramp has any number of secondary uses. With its 500-pound capacity, it's sturdy enough for humans, and separately sold accessories can convert it into a grooming table, wheeled cart, or water ramp. Designed to be rust-free and to float, the unit measures 70 by 18 inches and comes assembled. A latching mechanism keeps it closed between uses. --Emily Bedard

 Worth the money; a bit heavy November 22, 2009
Terry A. Chriswell (Tampa, FL)
This is the first ramp I have ever gotten for our arthritic German Shepherd weighing 90 lbs, so I have nothing to compare it with.
I would say the ONLY negative is that it is a bit heavy, but I am able to get it in and out of the trunk without a problem.
With a few snacks, my dog got this ramp easily. No slipping, I haven't caught my fingers in it as other people have mentioned. It has a nice rubberized end so it doesn't slip when you use it at the top of a step.
Today we went in and out of the car without a problem (I practiced at home with snacks for an evening). She obviously never used one before.
It could not support my weight easily (150 lbs) for long, but it's great for dogs around 100 or so.
It has an easy catch to fold it up and a hand-holding area. I'm glad I spent the money on a good well-made one. It is long and wide enough for any dog or situation that the general public would use I believe.

I purchased this ramp over 1yr ago to use for my large Yamaha 3500 Genset and am happy I did. This ramp is very sturdy and easy to fold and unfold. My large Yamaha genset rolls in and out of my tow vehicle. This ramp makes it a one person job.

Our 90 pound husky just had ACL surgery and I bought this so he could get in and out of the SUV. It is a great ramp, easy to use, very sturdy, a cinch to unfold and very lightweight. The tread is very good and provides for sure footing. We have used it outside over a few steps for him and it has been left outside in the rain overnight. It is plastic, so being outside doesn't hurt it and the water runs right off it. I am really happy with it.
Love it! July 13, 2009

Our older dog sometimes has trouble jumping into the SUV, so we bought this for him. It was very easy to train both of our two dogs to use this ramp. We have had the opportunity to use this when we go on our long hikes, we are out for hours and have two very tired dogs when we get back. They walk right up the ramp with no problems.I have had the ramp for about two months and I would recommend this ramp as it is easy to use and to train a dog to use it. We keep it in our back seat to always have it handy. I look forward to using this ramp for years to come.
AWESOME PURCHASE!! June 24, 2009
Dog Lover (Maine)
We have a very old 20 pound rescue dog who has a terrible time with stairs. Very arthritic and has old orthopedic issues. We were lifting him constantly. Debated and researched ramps FOREVER.....finally settled on this one. We could not be more pleased!!!
First, I am a small woman, and this is EASY to lift; and I have no idea about where folks are getting this "pinching you fingers" stuff....I mean, yes, if something folds and you put your fingers in the way, you will get pinched, but you have to be stupid to do that! We carry over next door sometimes without even folding it.....very easy to manage BUT very well designed and sturdy. Love the rubber grips at the top and the ribbed ramp is just perfect. He learned to do it in 2 days and seems sort of proud that he can go up and down by himself now. We hear the "WOOF" at the door and there he is at the top of the ramp. BUY IT!!! It has changed out lives. And, Amazon is always excellent to deal with!!!!
