dirtychicken Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Whilst my 2 are having a temporary moment of being able to walk relatively normally, I'm investigating the possibility of a ramp for the car. Although both dogs are fine with short-ish, onlead walks, any offlead walks/runs leave Flora incapable of getting in or out of the boot unaided Bear is struggling and I know it's just a matter of time before I'm having to lug 2 28kg dogs in and out of the car Has anybody got ramps? If so, what sort - wooden, aluminium, etc? Where did you get them from? How much were they? Are they easy to store in the car? All help gratefully received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redditchlady Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 We have a Petstep We found it excellent for our GSD's. Max couldn't get up it towards the end though. They are non slip so great in the wet and even for muddy paws. They hose down too. Kazz xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I gave one to Jazz and I know she doesn't use it so maybe she would pass it on. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggy.lover Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 We have a heavy duty plastic type one with carpeted ramp. Hubby has fixed it into the back door so all we have to do is swing it out and onto the floor, all our dogs use it now not just the oldies and lame ones Got it off e-bay, will have to check with hubby who it was from but it was a business seller so they are probably still selling them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I dont use it because its got the bit missing that keeps it on the car, so ive borrowed one till I get this one sorted out. But you are welcome to it if you can get it fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtychicken Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think I need to get one quite quickly and don't have as much time as I thought, so I think I'd better pass, Jazz. Thank you for the offer though Mikaela if you could let me know which seller you got your's from, that would be fab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Pet Ramps With Handle Item no. 300196156441 Hope that helps. </H1> Just had a look at this one but it says it only holds up to 20kg so probably not strong enough for Sarah's crew. Looks good for small dogs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtychicken Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I have no idea How very strange! Is there a customer services number or something where you can contact them and ask? I shouldn't think that you'd have to apply *too* much pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't think that you'd have to apply *too* much pressure well i didn't think you would need to apply to much pressure and obviously i don't want to force it and break it. i will give them a ring tomorrow but i just thought i'd ask the question in case i was missing something or doing wrong thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtychicken Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've never used one before so I'm really sorry that I can't be more help I'll be interested to know what they say though as this is the one I'm most interested in...
