Measure your boot height and compare against the 70cm or 100cm length before ordering — the longer 100cm option gives a gentler angle for higher boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it sturdy enough for a large dog?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — it's built from solid wood with a supportive frame, not lightweight folding plastic. It's designed to take a dog's full weight and repeated use without flexing or wobbling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it really be used both in the car and on the sofa?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — the adjustable-height legs mean you can reset the incline for whichever use case you need, so one ramp genuinely covers both situations rather than needing two separate products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt folds flat for easy storage in the car boot, a cupboard, or against a wall when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy dog is scared of ramps — will they use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMost dogs take to a ramp quickly once they realise it's easier than jumping, especially if you introduce it gradually with treats and encouragement at the lower end first.
