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 :)

The ramp arrived very promptly and was well boxed. However when unpacked the ramp is not the same as advertised and indeed not the same as on the box picture containing the ramp. It is supposed to have a 'sand paper like' covering, (which other reviews state, tears very easily)' also unlike the pictures, it has a series of ridges to help the dog grip as he climbs the ramp. So why am I keeping the ramp? It is well made and very sturdy and as other reviewers suggest I think I will be covering the climb in carpet for better grip. So I hope my dog will use it!

I have an elderly 30kg Labrador and needed a stable, portable ramp for the car. This product is a great combination of lightweight and robust, it's solid, not flimsy at all and folds to a very manageable size. It's worth taking some time to train the dog to use it on the flat first because it obviously feels a bit strange but mine has taken to it very well. If I have any criticisms, for my particular breed (and her stiff old lady legs at the corners of her square body!) the walkway is only just wide enough for her to comfortably place her paws on it and the anti-slip coating on the walkway is - bizarrely - a bit slippery. Both of these issues can be easily sorted - my dog will learn how to place her feet in time and I'm going to glue on some old carpet as buyers have mentioned in other reviews. This is a good ramp and worth its money.

My dog took to walking on this ramp straight away. It has a non-slip surface, raised sides, and a lip/bend on each end. Nice and chunky, sturdy when full length (folds in half for storage), and not too heavy. My dog is medium, around 16kg, but it would take a much larger dog without any problems, I would think. I can fit it behind the front car seat if the boot is full. Excellent price, and I think it's going to last for many years.

Beklediğimden sağlam... Pratik. Alınabilir.

Très bien construite et pratique. Mais mon amour de Golden Retriever en a peur une fois dans la montée... Le produit n'est pas en cause, mais je n'ai pas trouvé d'autre solution que de l'aider physiquement à monter en voiture-s-, certes un peu hautes de l'arrière : Renault 5 E-Tech et Renault Scenic Limited...

Convient parfaitement à mon chien

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.

Jättenöjd! Enkel att fälla ihop och stadig för hunden att gå på.
