This ramp did not do it for us. It would not stay securely on the door ledge, and even if it did it was way too steep. It is also very bulky. The surface is sandpaperish, which I suspect did not feel too good on the dog’s feet.
The picture of this ramp shows it looking like a light blue or grey with ridges, however the one I received was a dark ugly grey, no ridges and the non slip surface looked like sand paper that had a self-adhesive backing and they didn’t even get out all the bubbles. It is very sturdy, but the short length makes it a little steep. Overall, it’s a decent product.
Our 15 year old cat loves to scamper up this ramp to reach his food bowl in our kitchen.
We put nonslip feet on it so we could increase the ramp’s height and incline, and decrease how far it sticks out in the room (smaller footprint).
Unlike the ad’s picture of the ramp, ours does not have a wavy surface.
I injured my back and am unable to lift my 18# dog at this time. I needed to find a solution to this problem since he is not a jumper. I searched for a ramp that would work in my back seat (I have a 4 dr. sedan) of my mid-size car, not a van or suv. This Solvit Half Ramp is a littler narrower than most & it works for me at a slight angle. He is able to go up the ramp to the back seat by himself. The majority of the these ramps were made for vehicles other than sedan cars. Fortunately, the width works for me.
The ramp is well designed,well constructed and extremely light at
7#’s. The light weight design enables me to place the ramp in the front
seat area so I can use it again for unloading. For me the car storage works better than the trunk because of my back. He is able to get out of the car reasonably well.
Very pleased with my purchase.
I bought this to help my dog get on the bed, and he uses it every night. Each morning I lean it up against the wall and go to work, so he doesnt get on the bed while I’m not home. He can jump off the bed just fine. Now I control when he can get on things and when he cannot. It is scratchy on the surface, like sandpaper, but he could care less. He hardly waits for me to get it in place at night, so he can walk up it to get on the bed!!! It is very light, and I can move it easily from one place to the other. It also looks nice so I dont have to hide it in a closet so people wont see it. Worth the money.
