I purchased this for my 15 year old Bichon so he could get up on our "doggie" couch and relax.  He was insulted and showed it by jumping up on the couch to show me.  He then proceeded to walk half way up, lay down on the ramp and take a nap.  I am very pleased with the quality and construction of your (my) ramp and if my 15 year old "pup" ever needs it I know he will be able to safely use it.  Thanks for a quality product.  Gary Wiele
