 Very Good purchase February 25, 2010
tracy (Washington DC USA)
The ramp is very sturdy. It doesn't fold but telescopes out so no pinched fingers. Surface is sandpaper like so no slipping. Raised sides serve as handles for carrying. Researched all the different ramps here on Amazon and decided upon this one. Good decision, I recommend it. I have a Newfoundland and needed something to get him in and out of the car without needing me to carry him - he had no problems with it and walked up and down it the first time. It stays in position. It doesn't fold up small so I either store it behind the front seat on its side or flat out in the back with a towel on it so he can lay on it if he wants to spread out. Am considering buying another for inside the house. Good purchase.
 Sturdy ramp February 13, 2010
M. H. Jackson (Arlington, VA USA)
This ramp is very solid, telescopes easily, and is relatively slipproof. Best for SUVs or other vehicles that open up in the back. Most passenger car doors do not open wide enough to accommodate the width of this ramp, so it's best for getting big dogs up to high spots where you have a large, unobscured opening -- not for helping your dog into the back seat of your car.
Exactly what we wanted February 10, 2010

We bought the Pet Smart Ramp for our bulldog, who is too heavy to lift into the car. He was afraid of the ramp at first, but after a little training he loves it (when we take it out, he knows he's going for a ride!). It is light weight and very simple to operate - adjustment is easy - and it's strong and stable. We're very happy with this ramp!
Great ramp! July 28, 2009

Our Golden Retriever is starting to have occasional difficulty getting into our vehicles. After a great deal of research on Amazon and other websites we chose this ramp. He took to it like a duck to water. It's sturdy and stable. With the rounded sides (that also serve as a handle) it's quite easy to set up and take down. It slides to 1/2 the elongated size for easy storage. The weight of the ramp is manageable - it's mid-range in weight compared to other ramps.
There were two valuable lessons I found in my research.
1. While initially training your dog to use the ramp, stretch it out flat on the floor and let your dog walk on it and get used to it. Then, get your dog to use the ramp to get to a small height, like a favorite chair. Depending on your dog's motivation, a treat or two helps. In our case, a tennis ball worked well. After a bit of practice, try getting your pet to use the ramp to get into a vehicle. Be patient and don't create fear by pushing your dog too hard. Make it fun. We took agility classes with our Golden a few years ago, so we used those skills to make a game of the ramp training.
2.) Don't wait until your pet is injured or frail to start using it. Begin using it when they are young so it's just part of their normal routine. Then when they "really" need it, there's no training or adjustment when they're not feeling well.
The walking area is wide enough for very large dogs and the surface is non-slip but not sticky. The rubber ends that hold the ramp in place do not slip and the ramp doesn't bounce when your pet is walking on it. Some of the other products looked good, but the stability and ease of use of this ramp where what sold us on this particular product. It's a good backsaver for pet owners as well, especially those of us with large dogs.

My lab has arthritis in her hips and was unable to jump into the car any longer. This ramp was perfect! It has a non-skid area so that she doesn't slide down. It took a little coaxing and some treats to get her up the ramp the first couple of times. After she got the hang of it she just walked right up and down without any assistance.
