Chose this ramp due to it's numerous positive reviews. Liked the fact that it folded instead of telescoping. The weight rating was also a good selling feature. The downside was it was too short for my needs. No matter how I tried to convince my dog to use it, the steepness of the ramp was too much for him. In his defense, he is a large (100 lb), senior (10 yr) golden with hip dysplasia. The ramp was well made and had great traction and would still recommend it even though it wasn't for me.
