Having an energetic pet jump around your house is a pretty sight for every animal lover. However, you also must ensure that your furry friend is both comfortable and at ease.
A dog ramp for beds and other furniture can come in very handy at various moments.
If your pet is arthritic, the ramp can help him/her get on and off couches, beds, and cars
Using ramps can help an aging, handicapped, or injured pet move around with ease
Too small or too young dogs can use it to climb to places that are out of their reach
You don’t have to lift the dog everywhere
For beds, dog ramps come in a variety of shapes, sizes, fabrics, colors, and heights. You can match them with your house decor. However, depending on the size of your dog, you should pick a ramp that’s wide enough to hold them and strong enough to take their weight.
You can adjust the ramp height and change from a gradual incline to a slightly steep one, depending on where you’re placing it. Also, you can use most dog ramps for beds, couches, chairs, vehicles, etc.
Try to find models with reinforced hinges which makes it easier to fold them. You can find tri-folding ramps which can be shrunk into a very compact size for secure storage. Telescoping ramps come with a sliding bottom half which makes the model both portable and versatile in usage. Also, look for models with locking mechanisms to fix it in any position.
Be it a dog ramp for beds or cars, make sure it has enough traction that your pet doesn’t slip. Raised sides are even better for the animal’s safety. Wooden ramps are perfect if you’re looking for a relatively permanent setting. However, for frequent portable usage, soft foam, plastic, or light metal frame would do.

Dog ramp or stairs can make a tremendous shift in your dog's quality of life. It can be heartbreaking - and sometimes a little inconvenient - when your dog simply can't get onto a bed or couch to snuggle with you.
Even worse can be those times at the end of every dog's life, when getting into a van for a trip to the dog park, requires uncomfortable or painful lifting. Dog stairs and ramps solve all of these issues, so we've put together this list of expert tips to help you make the best possible choice
Material is probably the most important thing to consider when purchasing a new dog ramp or set of dog stairs. The base material will determine how long your stairs last and how well your pet's weight will be supported. Surface materials can help your pet go up or down but are also important to consider for maximizing your dog's comfort. Let's take a quick look at the best materials for your dog steps or ramp in our first expert tip.
High-density foam
Ideally, the frame or base material for your dog stairs should be made of something both lightweight and strong, so you'll have an easy time moving it around without compromising the safety of your pet. High-density foam fits both of these criteria, being the lightest weight base material for pet stairs while being able to bear the weight of pets up to 50 lbs. Of course, weight-bearing capacity is model specific and should always be verified prior to purchase.
While high-density foam is great for weight-bearing, it is not very scratch, bite or bump resistant. Dog stairs made from this material can wear down quickly, which can lead to rocking or collapsing stairs that risk your dog's health. Rocking stairs can be especially dangerous for elderly dogs who are having issues with stability, so be sure to replace your foam dog stairs regularly.
Wood
Wooden dog stairs have far more longevity than their foam counterparts, but can still fall victim to biting, scratching and water damage. If the finish on your wooden dog stairs becomes compromised, you run the risk of excess humidity encouraging rot, which can destabilize your stairs and lead to falls.
Despite their shortcomings, wooden dog stairs can be phenomenal choices for your décor. While most of them are made from manufactured wood, they often come finished in hardwood veneers that match well, with beige furniture or wooden flooring.
Microsuede and carpet
As far as surface material goes, microsuede or carpet work incredibly well for both pet ramps and pet stairs. Of the two materials, microsuede is softer, making it the more suitable material for pets with paws that become irritated. Unfortunately, however, microsuede is a bit harder to maintain than carpet precisely because it is softer.
Sheets of microsuede are normally very thin, so mud, dirt, fur and droppings all tend to be very visible, which means you'll need to be cleaning your microsuede surface material relatively often. While microsuede is machine washable, it can become frayed when washed often.
What carpet material lacks in comfort, it makes up for in durability. Because carpet material is significantly thicker than microsuede, you can count on it to retain its integrity through washing. It also holds up against scratching and biting far better than microsuede does, which makes it the ideal choice for particularly energetic dogs.
