Folding Dog Car Ramp 170 cm for Large Dogs 🐶
Description:
This extra-long folding dog car ramp is intended to help larger and less mobile pets climb into vehicles with a gentler angle and a wider walking surface. The non-slip loofah-like fabric offers grip and some impact absorption for paws, making loading and unloading during trips more comfortable for dogs and easier for owners.
Key Points
The ramp extends to a generous length of 170cm, which reduces steepness and helps dogs manage the ascent with less strain. The walking surface is textured to increase traction and reduce slipping during wet or muddy outings. It folds down for compact storage and can be carried using a padded foam handle, which keeps portability practical for road travel or visiting friends. 🐾
Designed for sturdiness, the frame is made from high-grade aluminium to keep the weight relatively low while providing structural reinforcement. According to the manufacturer, the ramp supports dogs weighing up to 115kg, so it can be used with many large breeds without needing to lift them into the car. Consider that very tall vehicles may still present a steep final step depending on vehicle height and the loading angle.
Usage Recommendations
For safe use place the ramp firmly on the vehicle threshold and check that both ends sit securely before allowing a dog to walk on it. Encourage hesitant pets with treats and short practice sessions at home on lower surfaces to build confidence. For older or injured dogs walk them up slowly and consider using a harness rather than a collar for added control. If the surface becomes very wet or muddy clean it gently and allow it to dry before storage to preserve the traction fabric. 🐶

Benefits
The extra length and width combine to create a more stable and confidence-building approach for large dogs that struggle with jumps or steps. The loofah-like surface helps with paw grip and reduces impact on joints when stepping up or down. Because the ramp is quadruple-foldable it stores flat in many vehicle boots without occupying excessive space, which is useful for people who travel frequently with pets. 🐕🦺
Important details to note include the ramp’s aluminium construction which balances weight and strength, and the padded handle for carrying comfort. The reinforced structure makes the ramp suitable for outdoor and indoor use, from vehicle access to porch steps or beds, but check the ramp angle and vehicle height before first use to ensure an easy gradient for your dog.
