Review on 🐾 Pet Gear Extended Length Ramp by Tara Holloway

Got this for my 11 year old rescued Pitbull. I already had another brand, an oblong double bladed aluminum model. I used aluminum on my old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. It worked well for dogs and fit in the bed of my Chevy 4X4 truck. It was strong but heavy, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to fold up and pack into the truck. Luckily my old dog died before me from struggling with that heavy ramp. I stopped using the ramp because my pit bull could climb into the front cab of the truck with me. When I sold the truck and bought a Jeep Wrangler, it became difficult for my dog to get into the Jeep. My old ramp didn't fit my new car, so I looked for something that was easier to use, took up less space, and fit my animal. I've narrowed it down to a triple room with and without a carpet. The one with the sandy surface looked like an old ramp. None of my dogs had a problem with sandy traction so I figured it out. I really like how compact the triple pouches are packed and how easy they are to fold/unfold. It fits well in the jeep, and although it has a steeper incline than my old extra long, it works great. Although my dog has never used the ramp, the cheese stick and the desire to "roll" got him up and down the ramp in two tries. She was able to jump into the jeep, but jumping out became a problem, and like my (aging) dog, I also found it difficult to get her out of the jeep. She seems to be really enjoying the ramp and I know the stress of boarding and disembarking is greatly reduced for both of us. The ramp's surface has been scratched by her toenails since her first attempts to use the ramp, but she now knows there hasn't been any significant wear since then. This is a lightweight ramp but feels very durable. I'm still working on the most efficient method of folding/unfolding while holding on to a dog leash.
