Hi,
This is more a healthcare and welfare question for me!
I have just had an operation and cannot drive or lift anything heavy for a while so I was thinking of buying a dog ramp, to enable my two to walk up to the car boot rather than me lifting them in/out. I have looked on Amazon and there are so many there, with so many different opinions on how good or bad they are, I thought I may check in here to look for advice
We have a 5 door hatchback type car and they always go in the boot. *I have a large dog bed and blankets in there to keep them warm and cosy.
So if you use a ramp, could you maybe let me know which one you use and a link or two please?
Thank you
Mike

Re: Car ramp
I've no experience with the ramps either Mike. Hope you recover quickly - think of the next Austrian trip

Re: Car ramp
Thanks Julie and Sam - well I have taken the plunge and ordered a ramp from Amazon, so I'm sure it will come in use even when I have fully recovered

Re: Car ramp
Hope you get well soon. I bought a ramp from the factory shop about 2 year ago. it was £10.00 I think and made plastic. it folded up to a 12inch cube approx. My dogs would not use it as it bellied a bit in the middle as they walked up. I hope you have better luck with yours.
