Could this be used as a boat ramp for dogs?

I would say yes but please have 2 people to hold it in place one on each end of the ramp. I always hold it in place w/ my foot when I use it for my RV.

It is kind of flimsy. Maybe for a small dog. My dogs are 45-50 lbs and it did not work well for them!

Yes, as long as you have some place to connect the one end that has a hook.

It is crap. It slides all over with your dog on it. If you have a tiny dog it would work. Large dogs no.

If you are talking about from dock to boat, yes. It would make it easier for the pup to get back on the dock or from the dock to the boat.

This ramp may be a bit unwieldy for that when it comes to folding it up and getting it out of the way, depending on how much space you have. Also, if you have a very stubborn pet, it may still jump up on or down from the bed even if the ramp is in place. My dog is in recovering from ACL surgery, and she is at the point now where my husband and I have to stand alongside the ramp on either side and encourage our dog to use it or she tries to jump into and out of the car on her own. Dangerous.

Probably. Our 110# GSD uses it and loves it. I think the weight limit is 300# so it should be ok. We load our GSD into the side of a Honda Odyssey van so it is not a steep grade. If you load into the back or side of a SUV I suspect that would be a steeper grade the dog may or may not get enough traction and feel comfortable with it. The ramp is a good material, fiberglass I think, with a decent traction (sand paper like) surface. And, made in the USA.

Might be a bit steep, but then again it would depend on the dog. I've extended the ramp to the max to assist my dog to by-pass two steps from my patio into the house.

My retriever uses it. If I were to start over I would pay more and buy a longer ramp .its a steel run up hill .

Probably. The construction is very cheap, but it is serviceable. We used it to raise a pair of Airedale pups. The high walls were an asset as they grew.

Yes. My 61 pound wirehaired pointing griffon has no problem using this ramp. It is sturdy and required no training for my girl. She ran right up into the car and I use it as a ramp up to my bed as well. It stays in place.

I would say Yes that a dog of any size would have difficulty climbing onto this board due to the thickness. The dog may not be able to get enough leverage to pull itself up out of the water.

Its attached like a trailer hitch, so if you could put on a hitch, then this ramp could be attached to it. The ramp just slides out of the hitch.

Hi, it would but I would recommend a less expensive ramp/stairs; this product is too nice to take outside and would not withstand wet weather very well.

I think so. My rotti had no problems with it. Just make sure its sturdy. The ramp has no slip grip on it so he never had a problem with it. It was the best thing I ever bought. At first he was a little unsure about it. I had to coax him up with a treat until he got use to it.

Really don't recommend these stairs for any critters except SMALL dogs and cats. The stairs are only 20" high to begin with and fairly lightweight. Suggest using ramps for your dogs.

It's more like steps than a ramp. So to answer that, it would be dependent on whether or not the animal can jump or use the steps. Does that answer your question?

I guess you could but if you are thinking of using it as a car ramp so you can work under it i would not trust it for that and it would not lift it up high enough.

Your dog will not be able to use this ramp. He is too big for it. It will buckle under his weight. Also, this ramp is very slippery. this is not a good choice for anyone.

While this is a sturdy product, I think the angle would be too steep for a dog of that size and age. I think you will need to go with a longer and less steep ramp. I purchased this for my 12 pound young dog, and it works good.

I don't believe so. They are pretty study for my dog but he only weighs about 25 Lbs. I would look at a metal ramp if it were me. Sorry hope this helps.
