Hewitt & Blue telescopic large dog car ramp — heavy-duty and easy to use
Fed up with wrestling your dog into the boot? This Hewitt & Blue telescopic ramp makes life a lot easier. It’s built tough yet surprisingly portable, so you can stop lifting anxious or arthritic dogs and start letting them walk in at their own pace. Perfect for trips to the vets, weekends away in the camper or a quick dash to the park.
what it is and why it helps
Made from reinforced aluminium, the ramp won’t flex or bow even under heavier dogs. The SureGrip non-slip surface gives paws proper traction in wet weather, while raised guide rails keep excitable pups heading where they should. The EasyGlide mechanism lets you open and adjust the ramp quickly — handy when the dog’s impatient or the heavens have opened.
key features and everyday uses
- The telescopic design adjusts to different boot heights, so it’s great if you use it across several cars or a motorhome.
- Folds away neatly and has a carry handle, making it simple to store and transport for camping, holidays or vet visits.
- Reflective strips for better visibility on dark winter nights — a small touch that gives peace of mind when loading after dusk.
- Supports up to 110 kg, so it’s suitable for large breeds and heavier dogs that need a helping paw.
- 5-year warranty included, which is reassuring and speaks to the build quality.
practical details and specs
Item weight is about 6.8 kg — light enough to carry but solid in use. When folded it’s roughly 102 x 42 x 10 cm and it extends from 99–182 cm to suit different boot heights. The aluminium construction keeps it durable without being awkwardly heavy, which is handy if it’s just one person doing the loading while someone else wrestles with leads or coats.
who will benefit
This is ideal if your dog struggles to jump into cars because of age, arthritis, injury or sheer size. It cuts down on strain and the risk of further injury, and it’s brilliant for nervous dogs who prefer a calm, steady route into the boot rather than a sudden leap. No more awkward lifting, and no more fretting about sore hips — especially welcome in winter.
a few practical notes
Measure your boot height before you buy to be sure of a good fit. The ramp is telescopic and designed to suit most boots, but it’s worth checking if your vehicle is unusually low or very high. While the SureGrip surface performs well in wet conditions, a quick rinse after muddy walks will help it last longer.
All told, it’s a sensible bit of kit: robust, easy to use and packed with features that genuinely make life with a big dog a bit simpler.
