This is a nice ramp, lightweight, yet sturdy. It came with a loose nut floating around in the packaging bag and no instructions, but with so few parts, it was easy to see where it went and put it back on.I have 2 80 pound geriatric (by vet standards, although they agree to disagree with the vets age thingy) dogs with severe hip dysplasia. We often have issues after a long walk getting the dogs in the truck and I have a bad back, so lifting them is killing me. This ramp looked like the perfect solution. It folds up and stores nicely, it’s lightweight and easy to handle and it’s super non-skid/slip.I set it up, took the first dog out on a leash and he would not set foot on the ramp. He would go to one side or the other, but NOT touch the ramp. I tried everything, he just wouldn’t use it.Then I put my female on the leash. She tried repeatedly to get on it but she wouldn’t walk straight up it, she kept trying from the side so that one of her rear legs would fall off. I finally got her on it but she was terrified and slinked up it digging her nails in the whole way, not a pretty sight, for a normally proud, confident dog who LOVES getting in the truck, because truck means walk!So, I have to return it because they will not use it. My back’s very angry about this, but it’s just not going to work out for us. One thing I did notice is that this would probably be better for smaller dogs, or larger dogs who were trained on an agility ramp at one time. Also, if you have a dog with mobility issues, a longer ramp may suit you better to decrease the incline. This is quite steep and they really have to use their backend to push to get up the ramp.So, that’s my 2 cents, hope this is helpful. Not a bad ramp at all, if your dogs will use it, but if they have mobility issues, go with a longer ramp.
