PetSafe Happy Ride Compact Telescoping Dog Ramp, Portable Pet Ramp for Cars, Trucks & SUVs with Adjustable Sizing

My Collie started having hip problems and I was looking for a solution for getting her into my F 150 Truck. This product was definitely the answer! I was skeptical in the beginning because my Collie’s ability to navigate the ramp, but she did great! This ramp is well built, slip resistant, and wide enough that she wasn’t scared to use it. The features I like the best is the weight and it folds up nicely! I carried it in the truck at all time! Definitely, a thumbs up !!! Thank you!

Antes de comprarla evalué mucho si llevarla telescópica o plegable y finalmente me decidí por este estilo (a pesar de ocupar posiblemente más espacio que la plegable) pues me permitiría adaptar el largo de acuerdo al espacio en el que me encontrara (teniendo en cuenta que entre más corto el trayecto mayor ángulo, algo a evitar) pues no siempre se cuenta con un espacio generoso para desplegar las rampas en su totalidad y eso podría llevar a no usarla. Ha sido muy útil esto, aunque sería fantástico que se pudiera desplegar no necesariamente recta sino también formando una L para ese tipo de situaciones (idea para los diseñadores). Es un poco pesada (por eso las 4 estrellas), pero una vez te acostumbras es fácil de manipular, sin embargo aún no la cargo continuamente en el carro pues resta bastante espacio a la bodega (Subaru Forester), que no es de bordes internos laterales parejos sino que cuenta con dos salientes por lo que al acomodar la rampa queda un espacio vacío inutilizado tras ella. Mis perras (una de 9 años y 35 kg y otra de 5 años y 25kg) se acostumbraron rápidamente al uso después de una sesión con premios, e incluso la mayor espera hasta tenerla puesta para subirse al auto. Los materiales son firmes y dan buen agarre sin lastimar sus patas.

As a 74-year-old woman in pretty good shape, I find this ramp easy to use. It folds easily (though to avoid pinched fingers it's best to hold it from the top when telescoping it shut). It's sturdy. Best of all, the 16" width of the compact version fits perfectly into the back seat of my Ford Escape (see photo). Most other ramps are at least 17" wide, too big for our 12-year-old Staffy/Boxer/St. Bernard mix to access the back seat. It took treats and a demo from a fearless neighborhood dog to get Ruby to trust the ramp, but now she goes up and down it like a champ, and I am so thankful that even with a torn ACL she's still able to go for her beloved car rides.

Ok. I'll save you all some time here: What all the other reviews have said is true. Let's start with the good: It's really really really sturdy. My 100+ lb shepherd goes up and down without even the slightest bowing. It's remarkably light considering. For us, we need the absolute smallest folding ramp both in length and thickness while at the same time being long enough to be climbable. It excels at that. And now...the not so good......You will feel like at any given moment, you might loose a finger or toe in the process. The stupid plastic safety strap...I give it a month tops. I never am entirely convinced it's going to hold to begin with not to mention it's not that easy to collapse the ramp and get that snapped shut. I'll get to the big problem with the ramp in a sec. Got a few gripes first.Deploying the ramp is as other reviewers have noted, a bit of Russian Roulette. My dog is fairly obedient but he's a dog and dogs don't always stay put. Squirrel. Need I say more? So I've got a nice ramp in one hand a dog in the other. While I've gotten a bit better, watching me try and deploy this thing with one hand while holding my dog probably makes for some good entertainment and a good time to cover the ears of your young ones. It takes an act of God to get the ramp extended as far as it will go while simultaneously positioning it just so so that it doesn't slide and doesn't make ruin of that gorgeous red paint job you paid too much for. The ramp does not lock as you extended it. It depend on the weight to lock it in place. I guess it works. It hasn't collapsed yet. But it would be much easier if the sections locked when fully extended so that you could position the ramp more easily. The ramp doesn't have any safety strap either to keep it from slipping off the bumper or to the side, especially if the ground is slippery. I went to the hardware store and got two high grip rubber stair liners - one for my bumper to grip and protect the paint, and one for the ground to keep the bottom of the ramp secure if the ground is wet. I'm sure you get the picture.But the one thing that absolutely totally completely really SUCKS is that sand paper grip that they put on the ramp. Honestly, you get one chance with this ramp. If your dog has a bad experience with it, good luck in getting him back on it. This grip paper is sharp and I knew better than to even try. Like another reviewer suggested, I got vinyl non-skid shelf liner. It's spongy -- kind of like a really thin yoga mat. The dog didn't mind it and up an down he went....twice. The second time, his nails dug in and tore the mat material to bits. So fine. I accept that. What I don't accept is that not only did the matting material shred, but the sand paper grip under it. It's awful and it's really flimsy. I ended up taking a heat gun and peeling the sand paper grip off and gluing down some industrial rubber lining. It's soft enough that the dog doesn't mind it and grips well enough he doesn't slip. That reviewer that suggested the non-slip liner used tape to pull the liner under the next section. Do your self a favor and just unscrew the rubber stops and lay the sections out flat.The bottom line: I hate it. I love it. It scares me to use it but the dog does use it. The side rails are tall and that helps!. It's stronger than any ramp I've seen and it folds up smaller than any I've seen as well. So....it wins.

Great quality and light weight. Use this for my 100 lb Akita’s. They are slip proof and the dogs have no problem walking up them without them collapsing.

This ramp is definitely not human safe, but it is sturdy enough to handle our 100 pound dog with easy and will likely last many years.First issue are the multiple pinch points… this thing can easily pinch hard enough to cause bruising or possibly worse.Second issue is that some of the edges are VERY sharp and some of these sharp edges are also pinch points. I cut myself twice in a single day using this ramp.The third and by far the biggest issue is the poor fit of the sections. Each section fits too loosely into the next which leads to the sections becoming misaligned and jamming. Attempting to get things straightened out so it will extend or retract is what led me to discovering the pinch points and sharp edges.Would not recommend or buy again unless the product was redesigned to fix these issues.
