Amazon.com Review
This portable ramp from PetSTEP helps your pet overcome the prohibitive dimensions of stairs, vehicles, and furniture. To use, simply unfold the ramp and prop one end against a truck bed, vet table, or top step. Animals can walk up or down at a gentle incline, instead of struggling, jumping, or being lifted. With its sturdy structure and rubberized surface, the ramp helps reduce arthritis and dysplasia pain, lowers the chances of injury, and cuts down on back strain. The nonslip grip is compatible with virtually all edges. In addition to its primary function, the PetSTEP ramp has any number of secondary uses. With its 500-pound capacity, it's sturdy enough for humans, and separately sold accessories can convert it into a grooming table, wheeled cart, or water ramp. Designed to be rust-free and to float, the unit measures 70 by 18 inches and comes assembled. A latching mechanism keeps it closed between uses. --Emily Bedard

Product Description
Durable enough to sustain any weight dog, this lightweight PetSTEP II is perfect for arthritic, older, or overweight pets. Also provides an easy exit, so your pet doesn't jump down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces and risk seriously straining or injuring his joints. Features ribbed, non-slip rubberized coating that's safe for all pets. The convenient design will swing open and close in seconds and includes a universal grip that fits all vehicles and edges. Rust and corrosion-proof, the ramp washes easily with soap and water. Attach the optional leg kit to create a table that's great for tailgating and picnics. 70"L x 17"W x 21/2"D. (Optional leg kit, item #28952).

5 out of 5 stars Petstep is a great product   November 17, 2008
Bruce W. (massachusetts)
Sturdy yet lightweight and easy to use. Can set it up in seconds and from its construction will last many years. The ramp is skid resistant so the dogs have an easy time going up and down without slipping. Both dogs were on it at the same time adding up to close to 300 pounds and it supported the weight with no problem. One minor problem is if your not careful you can pinch your fingers in the hinge end as it can fold quickly as I found out.


4 out of 5 stars Dog ramp   November 16, 2008

The ramp is very well made, it works great for my 100+ pound 12 yr old lab. It is quite large and heavy, so if your old like your dog it made not be the best choice and watch your fingers!


4 out of 5 stars Used as "boarding ramp."   October 8, 2008
David C. Corbett
I am pleased with the petstep, though I don't think I'd trust it to the advertized 500 pound rating. Nonetheless, we use the ramp as a boarding ramp aboard our sailboat. It works nicely for this purpose. I did think the ramp came with a center locking device, however, such was not the case.


4 out of 5 stars Helpful, but somewhat heavy   August 25, 2008
A. Smith
The PetStep ramp has a good angle and traction surface for our dog. It's sturdy enough for our 70 pound dog, but I find it slightly heavy and a bit awkward to fold and unfold. Allow for the storage space in your car when not in use.


5 out of 5 stars Great for long-term outdoor use!   August 5, 2008

I searched for any ramp that mentioned it would be good for outdoor use. I could never find one that actually said so. But this one looked sturdy and durable and like it would hold up in the direct sun. I needed a permanent one for my senior dog to get down the back stairs. So far so good and I'm very happy. My boy still will not use it on his own, but if I point he will go up and down the ramp. The funny thing is, now he is running down next to the ramp, using it as a guide and isn't falling like he was. So it has a dual usage! I recommend this great product.
