TRIXIE folding ramp for dogs – facilitates access to the boot – walking surface with sandpaper coating – 40 x 156 cm – width of walking surface: 33 cm – up to 90 kg – black – 3939

I ordered this ramp for my nine year old Labrador who is starting to suffer a bit from arthritis in his front leg. The ramp arrived in time and was well packaged and it is very sturdy. It took a few days for him to get used to it and we started doing it little by little. We left it on the floor for him to walk over it to get used to the feel of it. It has a non slip surface and is quite rough and it took a wee while for him to get used to this. He is now quite happy to use it and it has made a big difference to him as he no longer has to jump in and out of the car. It is very sturdy and takes his weight no problem. It is quite light and very easy to use. It folds in half and is easy enough to store in the car. I would recommend this product especially for older dogs who may have a bit of trouble getting in and out of the car.

I was a bit unsure about ordering this as it is far cheaper than some ramps but it has proved to be quite a surprise. It is light to carry and easy to fold out, but sturdy enough for our labrador (approx. 28 kilos). It stays in place well and doesn't really rock when the dog is climbing in. One downside is the black material that is attached to the plastic - I assume it is there to provide grip but it still seemed very slippy and our dog did not like it. I resolved the problem by gluing on 2 small strips of cheap astroturf that we had left in the shed and, as the dog is used to it in the garden, he seemed much more comfortable climbing in and out of the car boot. Overall, I would recommend as a good low-priced solution but beware the black material as it is like sandpaper and larger dogs would probably struggle without some other type of material placed over the top.

This ramp is a real lifesaver for my ageing spaniel. He is a fairly big dog (27kg), so he's too big for me to lift in and out of the car (also, I did already mention that he's a spaniel, so he always ends up soaking wet and covered in mud!) I have quite a high 4x4, which he finds difficult to jump into, and I always worry about his shoulder joints when he jumps out. Due to the height of the back of my car, the ramp is quite steep, however I have an old tatty piece of VetBed which I have attached to the surface of the ramp with high bond velcro, and this helps him to get a good grip on the steep incline. This probably would not be required on a lower car, as there is a non slip, sandpapery surface on the ramp. The top end of the ramp has a nice flat ledge to lay onto the boot of the car, and I've never had any problems with the ramp moving while in use. I have a crate in the back of my car for the dog and this ramp folds in half and fits ever so neatly down the side of the crate, leaving room on top for shopping or luggage if necessary. I had toyed with the idea of getting a ramp for a few months as I wasn't sure how my dog would take to it, but at this price I thought it was worth a go, however he took to it immediately and we've not looked back since :)

It doesn't grip well onto the boot of your car as most vehicles have a plastic trim, housing the boot catch. Therefore it has a tendency to slide across as your dog exits your vehicle. Could have done with some kind of rubber grip under the top section. The coating on top is like an emery board and my dog fell going down the ramp and it grazed his skin, I have also grazed my hand putting it away, so we have to put a towel over it now for the dog to use. Not what I was hoping for but better than the wooden one I had previously which collapsed. At least this one is strong. My dog is 28kg and 10 years old.

Good sturdy quality, it takes up quite a lot of room in the boot, I think I was expecting it to fold smaller. We have only had it a few days, our puppy is a bit wary of it, it takes a bit of coaxing, hopefully it becomes a bit easier. Four weeks on and a different car, old car was a Volvo XC60 dog basket and ramp fitted in boot. New car is a Freelander. Ramp doesn’t fit as well as th basket (big dog) so goes on back seat. Dog is much happier using it. Have to lean by it to stop it moving. If dog reluctant to go up it I give him a bit of a nudge up to get him moving. Update. My puppy reached 40kg which is the the maximum for this ramp, in hindsight I should have got one for 60kg,so today the inevitable happened. It collapsed whilst the dog was using it. Luckily he was almost up so we managed to push him up further. I’ve spent all day encouraging him to jump into our Freelander and think I may now be ramp free. Still worth the price even though it was for a few months. Next time I’ll buy one that folds into a box so storage in the car is easier.

Really pleased with this product, bought to help my 8 yo GSD girl get up and down from the 70cm+ height boot of my Freelander. The ramp is made from hard, (I hope) durable plastic with a steel bolt through the hinge so I can't imagine will snap under the weight of my doggie (35kg). The ramp simply folds in two and is compact and light enough to shove in and out of the backseat/boot. When opened out the chunky plastic ridges act as support for the hinge so there is minimal flexing as she climbs up and down. She was so excited to see it come out of its postal box she couldn't wait to try it out. I set it up for her to climb onto the sofa first, and there was little hesitation when I asked her to use it getting into the boot of the car. I would give 6 stars if the product had a more anti-slip coating. There are 1mm deep ridges imprinted in the surface which are still a bit slippery. I got round this by ordering a harness PetSafe EasySport Harness, Large, Black whose sewn-in handle I can grab and both steady her, and take some of her weight going up and down the ramp. The ramp and the harness together seem to be the perfect combo to save her joints. PS I might get Velcro tape and stick it to the ridges but for now, we're okay. Thanks Trixie for a very good value product as I didn't want to buy a telescopic ramp as I know how heavy and cumbersome they are.

bought this for our Bernese mountain dog at 4 months old as we were worried about hips/elbows jumping out of boot. I didn't review back in Nov as to be honest it's taken a while for my dog to trust the ramp. He's now 6.5 months and 30+kg so he has no option but to use it but at the beginning he hated it. It didn't help that the first time it wobbled on his first try. I think I'd put it the wrong way around. Seems a bit silly but it wasn't obvious to me which end was for the ground and which for the car (suggestion - they should have a sticker to show). Anyway it's quite sturdy and non slip. Zeus can now walk down very slowly and he doesn't loose grip. We used a lot of treats to incentive use. I'd suggest if you have a breed who will eventually become heavy use this from a really early age. My two negatives are 1. Obvious identification of which end is which and 2. It's bulkier than you think (quite deep when folded). We have a Volvo XC60 and I'd hoped that folded up it would go on its side to make extra room but it doesn't so has to lie flat which means the dog looses a lot of room! All in all a good product!

I was considering buying ramp for my German Shepherd/Malamute cross for quite some time. He's getting on a bit, has arthritis and artificial knees in his back legs (after rupturing his cruciate ligaments) so jumping and climbing are bit beyond him. Shortly after the wife upgraded her car to a Freelander, my dog get his leg caught in the door hinge while trying to clamber out - very nearly seriously injuring himself so I didn't dare wait any longer. The ramp is solidly built, comfortably taking the 45kg weight of my dog and is not as steep as I feared (although Freelanders aren't the tallest of off roaders). We're still in the process of training both our dogs to use it (so it can be used again when the younger one needs it) which is a slow process as anyone with a Malamute will tell you, they can be very stubborn when they're unsure of things. The other dog, a mongrel of undetermined heritage, is getting to grips with it though. Overall, I've found it to be very study, yet lightweight, able to take the weight of my dog, the velcro grips are stuck on firmly enough. A couple of crossbars that could be used to push against might have been a nice touch but not a dealbreaker. Very happy I chose this one and would recommend it. One word of advice though, several reviewers have stated it is really long enough for them. If in doubt, measure first so you can get an idea of how steep it would be.

15 yaşında 30 kilo bir köpeğim var, artık arabaya zıplayamıyor, bir süre ben kaldırıp bindirdim ama belimi incitince kaldıramaz oldum. Bu rampa sayesinde belimi zorlamadan köpeğimi arabaya bindirebiliyorum. Yaşlı bir köpeğiniz varsa ve kaldıramıyorsanız çok faydalı bir ürün, tavsiye ederim. (Arabam yüksek jip değil, alçak stationwagon. Rampanın eğimi normal. Ama yüksek jipte kullanırken eğim dikleşecektir, bunu da göz önünde bulundurun.)

This product is so terrible. No way is it rated to 200lbs. It looked like it would snap when my 60lb lab went up it. Also, it has no non slip rubber on the back where it meets your car, so it slides. So unsafe. Don’t even get me started on the shape it was in when it arrived

El producto viene roto del seguro cuando está plegado el cuál es de muy mala calidad y seguro no durará además de venir sucio

Rampe très pratique et solide, mon chien monte et descend facilement sans se faire mal. Elle est légère, se plie rapidement et ne prend pas de place dans le coffre. Le revêtement antidérapant rassure l’animal, même quand il pleut. Un vrai confort aussi bien pour lui que pour moi !

Lieferung wie immer super schnell. Verpackung so das, dass Produkt ausreichend geschützt war. Die Rampe macht einen soliden Eindruck. Aufgrund des geringen Gewichtes lässt sie sich recht gut gut verstauen und schnell aufklappen. Sie macht auch aufgeklappt einen stabilen Eindruck. Ich habe diese Rampe für eine Bekannte gekauft, deren Labrador nun im Alter langsam Probleme mit der Hüfte bekommt. Der erste Test "Aufstieg" mit Leckerli verlief relativ problemlos. Man muss den Hund die ersten Male mit dem Halsband ein wenig führen. Nur nicht drängen, das Tier muss da von sich aus rauf. Hat das erst geklappt läuft es bald wie von alleine. Das hat jedenfalls so gut geklappt das ich mirt nun für unseren alten Labbi auch so eine Einstiegshilfe gekauft habe. Bislang habe ich die 30kg auch so in den Kofferraum gewuchtet. Aber Labbis baden ja gerne und das muss man nu nicht weiter ausführen denke ich.... Bezuüglich rutschfestigkeit gibt es in den Rezessionen unterschiedliche Meinungen. Da wir 2 Hunde zum testen hatten konnte ich sowohl als auch nachvollziehen. Eigentlich ist die Rutschhemmung mit der aufgeklebten Folie ausreichend. Fühlt sich an wie SSchmiergelpapier mit 60er Körnung. Wenn man nun einen Hund hat der da relativ relaxed drauflatscht ist das kein Problem. So war es bei dem Hund meiner bekannten. Unserem Labbi war die Sache etwas unheimlicher und sie hat beim Aufstieg die Krallen an den Hinterläufen genutzt. Das allerdings ist nicht die beste Idee, denn damit rutscht das Tier. Hier geht nur langsam heranführen an die Rampe und evtl. etwas von hinten unterstützen. Immer schön langsam, denn wenn es beim ersten Mal schon wehtut, kriegt ihr das Tier da nicht mehr drauf. Wir habe es dann mit viel Ruhr und ein bisschen Unterstützung geschafft. Sollte es bei unserer dauerhaft zu Problemen kommen, werde ich mir dort auch kelien Holzleisten als Tritthilfe aufschrauben. Dann sollte es problemlos laufen. Ich würde die Rampe immer wieder kaufen. Grosses Plus ist für mich, das Gewicht des Teils. Lässt sich einfach prima mit einer Hand nehmen und gut.
