New and Improved - PetSTEP II - Multi-purpose portable folding pet ramp!

If you have a pet whose ability to jump is impaired by old age, disease or injury, our folding pet ramp will make life easier for both of you.Weighing only 19 pounds, the polypropylene and fiberglass Pet Step ramp supports a full 500lbs.! Open, it measures 70"L x 18"W x 3.5"D, and it folds in half for easier carrying. We find it ideal for SUVs and boats (it even floats).

  

Our Half Step ramp, like its big brother, lets your pet climb and descend with ease. The non-folding Half Step measures 39"L x 18"W x 3.5"D. Its smaller size may be all you need for cars, vans or RVs.

After extensive testing, by a team from San Jose State University, we know that a side rail of 1 ½ " is optimal to prevent a pet from slipping sideways. Test results indicate that a higher side rail is a danger to the pet, in the event of a misstep, safely clearing the side rail.

We strongly recommend that you start your pet on a PetSTEP ramp from a very young age as damage is done each and every time a pet is forced to jump up or down from a difficult height.

Studies indicate that each time your pet jumps up into a difficult place, they most often strike their chest or back legs, causing additional stress and injury. Ask any veterinarian and they will tell you that this is so. Don't wait until your pet is injured, arthritic or displays signs of dysplasia start now.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How do I train my pet to use the PetSTEP?

Some dogs will take to the PetSTEP immediately. For those that don't, we suggest you put the ramp flat on the ground & walk your dog over it (a reward placed on the ramp also helps or you might try feeding him (her) on the ramp once or twice). When you raise the ramp, your pets favorite treat placed towards the top of the ramp also works the first time.

The first time up the ramp, take your dog by the collar & lead him to the reward. You'll only need to do this once or twice. It is important to take your dog for a ride after he has successfully entered the vehicle.

2. I notice a slight bow in my PetSTEP as my dog walks up the ramp. Is this Normal?

Yes. The flexibility of the PetSTEP was designed in for two reasons:

first, to increase the tensile strength capabilities of the ramp and second, to give your pet an extra boost up as the ramp un-flexes.

3. What is the PetSTEP warranty?

One year limited Warranty
