Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My lab is about 12 years old and has been having a hard time jumping into my truck the past few months. Until now I've been picking him up and setting him on the seat every time. Not a big chore, but the old guy isn't a fan of being picked up all that much. I ordered this ramp to use when I'm too tired to pick him up or when I wearing clothes I don't want to get covered in dog hair. It works exactly as described. 25 minutes of training flat on the ground, then against the couch and finally up the truck and he goes up it pretty well now. PROs: Does exactly what it's sold to do. Creates a stable ramp from ground to door sill on my truck for the dog to walk up. Easily supports an 80+lb dog. Wide enough that he'll not step off by accident. Pretty compact for a durable ramp that folds into three sections and can support so much weight. It easily fits in a trunk, on the back seat of any car or in the bed of a truck/SUV. Has a built in carrying handle and a locking swivel that holds the ramp from unfolding by itself when stored. The surface is pretty much sand paper glued to the top. Easily replaceable when worn off. Rubber grips on edges of ramp so it doesn't slide on the ground or off the vehicle. CONs are the obvious things: It's not tiny. But in it's defense it's a 70 inch long ramp, 20 inches wide made of plastic that can hold a 200 lb dog. Were you expecting it to fit in your purse? Folded up it's about a foot thick, 20 inches wide and just over two feet long. It weighs about 29 lbs. May be a bit heavy and bulky for a weaker person. Then again, if you have a dog in the size range that needs this ramp, you had better be able to control the dog too. If you can't pick this ramp up, you can't control your large dog either when it bolts. Think about it. The installed sand paper surface wears pretty fast it seems. You'll have to replace it with your own sticky sandpaper eventually.
