Super-Lightweight Pet Ramps
These are the lightest and strongest pet ramps available. Our extra-large aluminum/high-density polyethylene ramp supports up to 300 lbs. and is perfect for accessing pickups, taller vehicles, and stairways. Fully adjustable from 47" to 89", it weighs just 19 lbs. The standard ramp—weighing in at just 13 lbs.—is adjustable from 39" to 72" and supports up to 400 lbs., making it perfect for helping your dog get into (or out of) your vehicle or onto (or off) a grooming table. Both the extra large and standard ramps are a breeze to transport: Just slide the two telescoping sections together, pick them up by their carry handles, and go. A safety latch prevents unintentional extension. Features a nonslip walking surface and grippy rubber feet for stability. Imported.

Perfect,
May 11, 2013

from Baltimore, MD
"I was leery of buying a ramp, especially through a catalog. But my lab rescue dog turned out to be much older than I thought, and about a year after she arrived, she stopped jumping up into the back of my CRV. I decided to give the ramp a try. It works MUCH better than I expected. It is light and easy to use, stable and sturdy, and my dog started using it with only one session of training. The traction material works fine. This is a great solution for us and I am grateful!"

Too much hassle,
February 3, 2013
By: Design
"This seemed like a good idea, but it is heavy and difficult to use. Lifting my dog is easier. I can't manage something this big each time I want to go somewhere with the dog. Maybe best for a larger male dog owner."

Sturdy ramp,
January 18, 2013
By: eleme
from Santa Rosa, CA
"Bought this to help my back as my 12 yr old Springer is having trouble getting up and down stairs when going outside. Great ramp in terms of length, ease to set up and weight, but the traction surface needs improvement. We have been having heavy frosts and on 2nd night of use my girl slipped trying to walk up and now is hesitant to use it."

Good but too big,
January 16, 2013
By: Bham
from Birmingham, AL
"I ordered the extra large pet ramp upon the recommendation of the Orvis customer service rep who waasn't actually sure if it would work. I drive the large Mercedes SUV (the GL) and this ramp was way too big and heavy and didn't even fit in the back space. I exchanged it for the regular sized one and it works very well. My golden retriever will use it and it folds up nicely to fit in the cargo space. The extra large is probably better for a large pick-up truck, but regular size seems best for even larger SUVs."

Really Great Ramp!,

By: TAAM
from Arlington. VA
"Super easy to use. light yet sturdy. the sandpaper-y surface is non-skid and helpful for getting dogs up. it does take some convincing for dog to go up, but treats up the ramp did just fine. SO GLAD I finally purchased this ramp!"

Worst dog ramp ever,

"We tried the ramp once and then boxed it up and returned it. It is unstable and poorly made (the grippy stick on material was half way peeled off upon removing it from the box)."

Good for SUV, not so much for Bug,
August 23, 2012
By: LucyLooJones
"Well, I thought this would be the perfect answer for my new Beetle. By the time I got our dog up the ramp, got ramp stored in car, got to canal swim, did it all over again, then got home and had to do it yet again, I was pooped! Too much bending to get it in Bug. The ramp quality is great... think we'll save it for my husband's SUV and let Lucy the Lab in back seat of Beetle with lots of towells and blankets!"

Measure twice,
August 22, 2012
By: papoose
from Long Beach, NY
"Nice and light and easy to carry.
stores easily in the back of my car. Would have been great for my elderly St. Bernard but it did not fit in the door of my car (Lexus RX 350). Unfortunately, the door did not open wide enough to allow the ramp to sit on the door runner. If I had kept the box, I would have returned it. Make sure you measure the opening of the door you want to use the ramp on before you purchase the ramp."

"chipped on the sides on delivery - somewhat bigger and more awkward than I expected - trying to figure out where I can store it in the car - dogs don't like it - hopefully with training it will get better"

"I have three labs that I transport in a topper. The Ramp I used before was heavy and awkward. The Orvis ramp
is light weight and easy to handle. The non slip surface makes it easy for my dogs to get in and out of their holes."

"I have two older golden retreivers, 10 and 11. One just had a spinal operation repairing 3 discs to allow him to be able to walk. This ramp is exactly what was needed to keep him from jumping in and out of the SUV. It is light, easy to handle and the dogs adapted to it quickly."

Perfect solution,
April 23, 2012
By: softheart
from Bonita Springs, FL
"A great product, easy to use. I only wish the surface were less slippery, maybe rubberized, so that my dog doesn't slip and slide so much. Had no problem getting him to use it after the second try. It has truly solved a big problem - my dog is a 12 year old Golden Retriever and he loves to ride in the car. Thanks for a wonderful product."

One great ramp,
April 3, 2012
By: jmcc
from Seattl, WA
"This ramp is light weight and easy to use. All my dogs are comfortable using it. The only drawback is that the corners are fairly sharp. If you store the ramp in the middle seat like I do, you have to be very careful taking it out of the car. I have dinged the door many times, even tearing the door fabric. All in all though, we love this ramp!"

"Surface of the ramp is not condusive to aide a dog to get traction. It is abrasive but should be soft like outdoor carpet. I would return the product but it is all scratched up from my dog trying to use it."
