Best Dog Car Ramps for 2020

Weighing only 5.89 kg, this is a lightweight and ultra-portable dog ramp for your pooches.

As it is telescopic, it can be extended to just the right length, and then slid in again for a compact travelling size. Perfect for SUV’s, grooming tables, and smaller cars.

Able to hold 180kg at any one time, it should be plenty strong enough for your dog. Rubber stoppers grip to the boot of your car so it doesn’t slip backwards with the pressure, and the texture is like sandpaper so very grippy.

A textured gripping surface should prevent slips, even in inclement weather. It also makes it ideal for any pets who are older or have mobility issues. The ramp benefits from raised rails, which will guide your pet and also prevent them from overstepping or losing their footing over the side.

It can extend between 99.06 cm to 182.88 cm (39” to 72”), so it should be suitable for the vast majority of cars. With a blend of materials including aluminium and plastic, it is an innovative design aimed to blend ease for you with practicality for your dog.

What is even better than a great dog car ramp? Well, it is a set of steps which can also be turned into a ramp.

Whether you have two or more dogs who all need to have a different method of getting into the boot, or you simply think that the variation will be good, this contraption is a 2-in-1 which is safe to use either way.

When stairs, the wider and deeper steps are great for any older or larger dogs who maybe struggle to get up ramps or use the small foldable steps on the market. If it isn’t in use, the whole thing can be folded down to make it easier to store or carry in the car.

The velvet coating is great for grip, and as it is made from wood, it should remain in great condition for years to come. As a bonus, the safety side rails will allow them to climb with confidence.

This foldable ramp gives your dog a good surface and angle in order to get into your car, so they will always be happy to go on longer journeys.

The tread is skid-resistant, so even in damp weather, your dog will still be safe. Rubber grippers on the bottom of the ramp will help it to maintain its position so you can focus on your dog rather than holding it in place, and a curved top hooks over your boot edge.

When folded in half, a carry handle on the side ensures you can safely move it around. Able to hold 90kg, it should easily accommodate most breeds.

A triple folding ramp which can extend to a really great length, making it perfect for higher cars or dogs who need less of a steep incline.

Despite its length, it folds in three, so takes up minimal room in your car when you’re going from A to B. Thanks to the skid-resistant cover, muddy or damp paws will still be able to grip, and the ramp will stay in place thanks to the base rubber grip.

The downside of it being a bit longer is that it can be heavy and cumbersome when folded up, but long ramps can suffer from being quite weak in the middle due to their size – thankfully, this one doesn’t. The heaviness is what it takes to be sturdy, but we would still say it isn’t suitable if you can’t comfortably lift 12kgs.

To say that the heaviest dog ever recorded was Zorba, an English Mastiff who reached a weight of 343lbs, we think that this ramp will easily hold your mutt.

180kgs capacity makes it one of the best for heavier breeds, and the tough aluminium material means it won’t buckle or warp under the weight either.

With a telescopic extension, it can be moved to the ideal length between 99-183 cm, which also makes it one of the longest and best for all occasions and cars. Others that can reach this length and carry a big weight can suffer from sagging in the middle, which this avoids.

Despite the strength and size, it only weighs 6kg so it is comfortable to carry. It is a non-slip grip surface, and the side rails will prevent your dog from overstepping or losing their footing.

When it is all folded down, a locking latch will stop it from opening when you’re in transit. A little quick start guide is included so you can read through this before using it.

Plastic, making it lightweight and easy to clean, this ramp is great for those occasional car adventures or trips to the vet.

Great for pets with arthritis or who aren’t as active as they once were, as well as small dogs or any owners who are unable to lift their dog into the boot.

It is able to hold a good amount, so your dog should be fine standing or walking on it. Bear in mind it is on the slimmer side, however, so even though it could hold a larger dog, they may need something wider.

Available in blue, black or red (just in case you have a preference), this ramp has a textured tread and a rubber non-slip underbelly for extra safety.

It folds in two for transporting, and a clip will keep both sections together so it can’t fall open or become damaged when in transit. When folded, it is 78cm long, so it should be good for most car boots or at least the front/back seat.

At just 4.5kgs, it is easy to lift in and out of the car and handle to unfold it. The tread is similar to emery material, which isn’t the grippiest but for smaller, sprightly dogs is fine as they’ll clear it in an instant.

This ramp is slightly different – it doesn’t fold or extend, simply being ready to go at all times. Great for anyone who doesn’t want any fussing, but who has a car which can accommodate this longer permanent size.

It can hold a maximum of 50kgs, so is best for small to medium dogs. The raised edges will keep your dog safe when they’re walking, as will the non-slip surface. A big benefit of it all being in one piece is that it is incredibly firm, with no risk of warping or folding in the centre under any weight pressure.

An entirely plastic ramp, which is great for being lightweight and foldable for you as the owner if you struggle to lift heavy items.

At only 2.75kgs, it is by far one of the lightest on the rundown and reviews. It also folds down small so it will fit in most boots to carry it.

The downside to it being completely plastic is that it can be a little slippery for dogs. We would say it is the best option for anyone who needs a ramp only occasionally, such as for annual vet visits or the odd day out as opposed to on a very regular basis.

The light material also means it can buckle under weights despite saying it is suitable for pets up to 35kgs. We would say 15kgs is more like the maximum weight.
