We all think of our dogs as young and healthy, no matter their age or physical abilities. We expect them to be able to jump into the backseat of our car, or onto the back landing, without breaking a sweat.
We all think of our dogs as young and healthy, no matter their age or physical abilities. We expect them to be able to jump into the backseat of our car, or onto the back landing, without breaking a sweat.
Time catches up with everyone, sadly – even our beloved dogs. And there may come a time when injury, age, hip dysplasia, arthritis or other issues simply won’t let them run, jump and leap the way they once did. That’s when it’s time to give them a gift they’ll really appreciate: an outdoor dog ramp. (Miniature and toy breeds may need a ramp just to get into the car, of course.)
Before buying a ramp it’s important to consider your dog’s weight and size, because his ramp must be sturdy enough to support him and wide enough to let him walk without danger of falling. Aluminum or other lightweight metal ramps normally support dogs weighing as much as 250 pounds. Plastic and PVC ramp manufacturers claim that their products can support 100-150 pounds, but they may pose a risk for large dogs and are a better choice for puppies, toy dogs or cats. Most outdoor dog ramps are about 16” in width, although some are 2-4 inches wider to accommodate pups with stability issues. The majority have no-slip, grit surfaces for traction.
The severity of the dog’s disability is also a key factor, because many who have difficulty walking need a long outdoor dog ramp that has a gentle slope. That also means determining how high the climb will be; a short, one-piece ramp (usually good for heights up to 18”) may be suitable for a passenger car, but will create a slope that’s much too steep when used to reach minivans or truck beds that are 22-40” high.
You can find many ramps with the 18° slope that’s ideal for most older or disabled dogs, and others with a 22° slope that’s acceptable for those with minor impairment. You may see ramps with slopes as steep as 26° or 28°, but those are primarily used for dog show training.
Longer outdoor dog ramps are usually between six and eight feet in length and come in two different styles, folding and telescoping. Folding metal outdoor dog ramps will be sturdier than telescoping models, but the latter are easier for humans to use and their adjustable length makes them simpler to open and close. However, either style will support just about any dog.
Built on a solid pine wood frame, this outdoor dog ramp is adjustable in height in increments between 40 to 60 centimetres. The 41-inch long ramp is covered in black non-slip tread carpeting that’s water-resistant. There’s a side leather handle for convenient carrying.

According to Jake Arnold, an outdoor dog ramp only makes a satisfactory and safe travel companion for any dog if you've considered both the overall construction and maximum weight capacity. It's important to note the specific height measurement requirements before making a purchase because there are some outdoor dog ramps that aren't suitable for larger trucks or SUVs. A lot of outdoor dog ramps are constructed in a collapsible fashion which means they have two to three long anti-slip panels that need to connect and adequately hold weight. There are often weight capacity limits with outdoor dog ramps, especially those made out of plastic because there are some simply not built for pets over 150 pounds, which includes larger breeds.
Noz Nozawa notes if you need to bring an outdoor dog ramp with you anyplace from the car for long trips together to the backyard, it's important that it be convenient to carry and fairly lightweight. You will find that a lot of outdoor dog ramps are collapsible and fold up seamlessly when they're not in use, so they can easily be tucked away.

If you're worried about your four-legged friend slipping on the ramp, there are a lot of outdoor dog ramps that contain raised sides and stabilizing feet on the bottom as well.
