Pet Step Ramp 25mm - 100mm

Load Height & Threshold Ramps

Simply measure the vertical height of your step or threshold to identify the ramp which you require. If you plan to leave the ramp in place, you should allow for the door to be opened over the top of them. If you are purchasing a bridge ramp you will need to check the vertical height on both sides of the threshold.

What angle should a dog ramp be?

To identify the required ramp length, we recommend you multiply the height your dog is going up by 2.5 to ensure they are not too steep. For example, for a height of 700mm we would recommend a ramp length of at least 1750mm. Please note you will need to consider your pets abilities and whether they would need less of an incline if they have mobility issues. A longer ramp is always preferably where space allows as it means a smoother gradient. 

Are steps or ramps better for dogs?

You should consider your dog's abilities and mobility issues when considering whether to get steps or ramps for your pet. Smaller dogs or dogs with mobility issues may struggle to climb steps or stairs especially if they are high so a ramp may be a better option.

Are dog ramps worth purchasing?

Here at The Ramp People, we definitely believe dog ramps are worth purchasing for your furry friend! Any pet or dog that is struggling to get up an obstacle will find it much easier if allowed to use a suitable dog ramp. If your pet has mobility issues, ramps will help to alleviate their pain when climbing up or down obstacles. Even pets without mobility issues can benefit, since regular jumping can put extra pressure on an animal's joints which could cause issues in the future.

Why are ramps needed for dogs to get onto the sofa or bed?

Some dogs struggle to get onto the sofa or bed due to their size or breed. For smaller dogs and puppies jumping from sofas and beds can often cause damage. For example, Dachshund dogs, or sausage dogs, can damage their bones and joints from jumping and therefore steps and ramps around the home are often recommended. The breed, along with other smaller dogs such as Shih Tzus, are often more prone to back injuries and spinal diseases such as Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD). Our adjustable dog ramps are designed to assist dogs to get onto sofas, beds or over steps. They can easily be adjusted to 6 different heights. 

Are the dog ramps suitable for large dogs?

We offer a range of dog ramps, including ramps for medium dogs and large dogs. For example our telescopic dog ramp offers a 90kg capacity whilst our multi-fold dog ramp offers a 275kg capacity, making it more than suitable for any pooch! 

Where can I buy a dog ramp?

How do I secure the dog ramp safely?

At The Ramp People we specialise in portable, temporary ramps. So, like all of our other ramps, our pet and dog ramps simply rest in place when in use for easy and quick set-up. The curved rest on connection, the angle and the weight of the ramp and the pet keeps the ramp firmly in place when in use.

What material are the dog ramps produced from? 

The surface of our dog ramps are pet friendly and have been built with doggies in mind! Our wooden adjustable pet ramps offer a carpeted surface whilst our telescopic dog ramp offers a black anti-slip surface which has been tried and tested on our own pooches! The rubber pet ramps offer a rubber anti-slip surface whilst the lightweight folding dog ramp is plastic with grooves for optimum grip during use. 

Do the ramps have safety edges?

The majority of our dog ramps do have safety edges to help guide your dog and prevent them stepping off the ramp, however, we always suggest always supervising when your pet is using the products.

How portable are the dog ramps?

The Ramp People offer a range of dog ramps which are portable and lightweight. Our folding dog ramp folds to half its length whilst the telescopic dog ramp slides down to a reduced length for storage. Our wooden adjustable dog ramps fold and clip shut for storage and are provided with a carry handle.
