Amazon.com Review
This portable ramp from PetSTEP helps your pet overcome the prohibitive dimensions of stairs, vehicles, and furniture. To use, simply unfold the ramp and prop one end against a truck bed, vet table, or top step. Animals can walk up or down at a gentle incline, instead of struggling, jumping, or being lifted. With its sturdy structure and rubberized surface, the ramp helps reduce arthritis and dysplasia pain, lowers the chances of injury, and cuts down on back strain. The nonslip grip is compatible with virtually all edges. In addition to its primary function, the PetSTEP ramp has any number of secondary uses. With its 500-pound capacity, it's sturdy enough for humans, and separately sold accessories can convert it into a grooming table, wheeled cart, or water ramp. Designed to be rust-free and to float, the unit measures 70 by 18 inches and comes assembled. A latching mechanism keeps it closed between uses. --Emily Bedard

Durable enough to sustain any weight dog, this lightweight PetSTEP II is perfect for arthritic, older, or overweight pets. Also provides an easy exit, so your pet doesn't jump down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces and risk seriously straining or injuring his joints. Features ribbed, non-slip rubberized coating that's safe for all pets. The convenient design will swing open and close in seconds and includes a universal grip that fits all vehicles and edges. Rust and corrosion-proof, the ramp washes easily with soap and water. Attach the optional leg kit to create a table that's great for tailgating and picnics. 70"L x 17"W x 21/2"D. (Optional leg kit, item #28952).

Used as "boarding ramp." October 8, 2008
I am pleased with the petstep, though I don't think I'd trust it to the advertized 500 pound rating. Nonetheless, we use the ramp as a boarding ramp aboard our sailboat. It works nicely for this purpose. I did think the ramp came with a center locking device, however, such was not the case.
Helpful, but somewhat heavy August 25, 2008
The PetStep ramp has a good angle and traction surface for our dog. It's sturdy enough for our 70 pound dog, but I find it slightly heavy and a bit awkward to fold and unfold. Allow for the storage space in your car when not in use.
 Great for long-term outdoor use! August 5, 2008

I searched for any ramp that mentioned it would be good for outdoor use. I could never find one that actually said so. But this one looked sturdy and durable and like it would hold up in the direct sun. I needed a permanent one for my senior dog to get down the back stairs. So far so good and I'm very happy. My boy still will not use it on his own, but if I point he will go up and down the ramp. The funny thing is, now he is running down next to the ramp, using it as a guide and isn't falling like he was. So it has a dual usage! I recommend this great product.

I ordered the ramp in mid February 2008 for my potbelly pigs because I'd just purchased a Dodge Caravan. It took several days for the pigs to get used to the new van and ramp but once they did it sure made life easy.
I work for a pet friendly company and my "3 little pigs" go to work with me each weekday and to the park on the weekends. They ride in the van everyday, so the ramp gets used at least twice a day.
After 5 months of use I thought I heard a crack as my 183 pound pig entered the van. I checked the ramp but didn't see any damage. Over the next few days it started to dip on the right side. I examined it again and found the crack.
I wrote to PetStep asking about it and they wrote back saying not to let my pigs use the ramp and they were sending me a new one right away.
The new one arrived a few minutes ago. I'm so impressed with both their ramp and their customer service that I thought it was time for me to write this review.
I've also posted a video of my pigs using the ramp.

Well-made but bulky to store in minivan July 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Our elderly Rotty-Lab is very large (160 lbs) and arthritic. Getting in and out of our Volvo Wagon, or our even higher Dodge Caravan, was very difficult for her. Nor was it a simple matter to lift her, as you can imagine.
Initially, she would avoid the ramp; if we tried to guide her up it, she would jump off. Our front door has one stone step so we put the ramp here for a few days and she walked up and down it without any problem. We then switched it back to the cars and she used it readily and easily. It is stable, sturdy, has a non-slip surface, and is easy to fold up. We had read the "squashed finger" review and were concerned that would be a problem. In fact, we had no problem like that.
The only negative is that the folded ramp takes up more space than we would like in the Volvo wagon. It is no problem with the Caravan, however. Given the size and weight of our dog, the fact that the folded ramp is bulky is a problem we're willing to live with--particulary to get such a strong well-made ramp.
