Topic Dog Boards / General / Pet ramp recommendations
- By LucyDogs [gb] Date 23.11.17 13:34 UTC
Can anyone recommend a pet ramp for my Cavalier? She refuses to use the steps we've bought her, and at 13 years old she does struggle to jump on and off the sofa and I worry she will hurt herself as she refuses to wait if I'm not fast enough to lift her. I've had a look on Amazon but all the pictures show the ramps being used in cars, and I need something that will go up to a chair or sofa. Ideally folding as my husband is not keen on more dog clutter :eek::grin: so something I can have out during the day while he's at work and then tidy away when he's home would be good.

I needed a short length ramp for the 2 outside steps here, and found a half-length one on Ebay.   Likewise with the normal length one for my car.   Goes without saying that maybe now, you should keep her off your furniture, IF POSSIBLE  :grin:

This is the one we bought for our boy although I don't remember it being quite that price.   Note - the 'flooring' is quite rough and I bought 3 carpet tiles to stick to it which made it nicer for my hounds to use.

Here is another short one, but it's in America so would attract a high mailing cost.

Thanks I'll investigate those. I am thinking of bringing in a comfy dog bed to see if she will condescend to use it, but I suspect not. She even ended up with her own armchair after the in-laws loaned us one a few years back which she immediately appropriated. She does at least often wait to be lifted up now, though not always!!

You can get stairs for furniture, and some fold, although they are still a bit chunky:

These come in cream as well.

We have stairs and she flatly refuses to use them, but thanks.

Woops!  Sorry, I missed that bit on your first post.  My apologies.

She's a silly dog :grin:
