Can this be used on a sofa. My very old Westie is having trouble with the incline on a shorter ramp?

I have not used it on a couch but I think it would work...It is long and opening the full length would be a longer stroll up.but more gradual

There is an angle on the top but. I bet it would be ok and stable on a soft couch. Poor pup!

For sure.. but when unfolded the ramp is long so check the measurements to make sure you have the floor space.

Should work, especially if your dog is already accustomed to using a ramp. The ramp's length and the crosswise ridges provide a gradual rise with non-slip surface.

I dont see why not! This is a great ramp! The rubberized surface will be perfect to help your dog not slip while walking up the ramp.

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think there is a wide enough span for this to be stable on an incline. Even on a level surface I still make sure I put a heavy weight on it, just to be safe!

I would say no. My almost 9 year old Rottweiler fell up & down it. Awful ramp - too steep.

It might, but it would have to be really greased up...there have been several methods people have posted to make it a bit more slippery...baby shampoo, vegetable or olive oils...etc. I think it would work best on an incline, but hey, you never know. Good luck!!!

We bought the ramp to be used with a 5th wheel trailer. Our dog did great after a few minutes of practice!! You should have no issues.

I have never used on a couch but I have used it on carpet with absolutely no problems. Try a test spot if you're worried. Good luck!

I'm not sure the steps are wide enough. It's just right for my 30# dog but 110# isProbably too much. I would think a ramp would work better.

No it won't. The incline would be too steep. I have a 7 1/2 inch step also and hag a 5 foot ramp. That is much better;but if you have room the 6 foot ramp would be perfect.

It should be not too bad to get over. Just put it in the high setting and tilt it back. If all fails you could just make a ramp with some boards.

Haven't tried it on a couch but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work well. The only consideration I could think of is the thickness of the back- in other words, the depth of the couch would have to accommodate the thickness of the message back (which is approximately 3.5 inches).

It is about 2 inches off the floor so it is not very high for a sofa to slide under it I hope this answers your question. Thank you.

I don't have an answer for you but I'm looking for the same thing! I have a 10 yo 3 legged mini schnauzer and I have a very high bed as well. I'm wondering if you tried this ramp or if you found 1 that does work?

It depends. It certainly will hold when the dog walks on it, but my dog wouldn't go up the ramp at all. I just couldn't get him to use the thing. Its probably a bit too steep of an incline. You might want to check out the extra wide pet steps. I bought some of those on here and he uses those to get into my SUV just fine.

I bought one a year ago for my front door which is 6 inches from floor to top. I loved It is heavy but you can still fold it and carry it like a suitcase...great to bring on vacation.The second one I bought for the back door as I was so pleased with the first purchase and that height is more like 7 inches. I don't see where 7 3/4" would present a problem...your slope will be just a little steeper but certainly not dangerous. ( I have two children in chairs and they manipulate down these ramps and up with no issues whatsoever.) There is a 3 inch wide lip ( for lack of better word) that fits on your flat threshold. The ramp is heavy enough that I've never had is slide off. If you do a routine safety check to make sure no one has kicked it or moved it then you should be fine. Hope this helps. This was a gamble for me after researching permanent ramps ( too costly and poor house resale value) and I have been very pleased with the product.

If you have a small pet, and the bottom is the ramp is on carpet or a non-slip rug, the ram will be fine resting on top of a sofa cushion. I don not see a problem.

To slide the tray feet under your sofa, you would need at least 1" of clearance. I also found that the post w/ tray leans. This is caused by the foot that the post inserts into is too short to keep the post straight. This is a design flaw, it will not stand as shown in the picture.

We have for our 13 yr old lab whose has arthritis in his hind quarters. Our steps are quite wide so we keep this off to the side and it works fine for him. I found I have to put 2 small rubber back rugs on it because the surface is just too slick and he slips. The rugs work fine though.
