Papettly folding dog ramp – 158 x 44 cm, anti-slip and portable for large dogs
If hauling your dog in and out of the car has become a bit of a palaver, this ramp makes life a lot simpler. Built for older dogs, animals with mobility issues or those recovering from injury, the Papettly folding dog ramp offers a gentle, steady incline so your dog can walk in and out without having to jump and strain their joints. It’s practical, fairly light for its size and folds away neatly when you’re done.

- Anti-slip soft-rug surface to give paws better grip, whether it’s wet or dry.

Where this ramp helps most
It’s brilliant for everyday situations: getting a senior Labrador into the car for the vet, helping an arthritic collie into an SUV for a day out, or easing a recovering dog back into normal walks without forcing jumps. It’s also handy when you’re travelling in campervans or visiting friends — just unfold, place and let your dog take their time. Especially useful in winter when slippery paws are a real worry.
Tips and care
Some quick pointers to get the best from it: set the ramp at a gentle angle — a shallower slope is much easier for older or stiff dogs; check and brush off mud or debris to keep the grip reliable; and store it folded to save boot space. If your dog is timid or particularly large, guide them with treats and patience — most will soon cotton on once they realise the ramp is steady.
Worried it might be fiddly to set up? Don’t be. There’s no faffing about with tools or straps — just fold out, position and you’re good to go. If you’re unsure about fit, measure your boot height and compare it to the ramp length to ensure a comfortable slope.
What to expect
Expect a straightforward, dependable ramp that does the job without fuss. It’s durable enough for regular use, easy to stow and gentle on your dog’s joints. It won’t replace specialist mobility equipment, but for most everyday needs it’s a sensible, reassuring addition to your car kit.
