I got this because I pet sit (take are of my neighbors dog) and this dog is an old and blind cocker spaniel. He is a rescue dog and my neighbor sometimes needs to check on her elderly mother out of town so she would leave him to me. I am so happy the half ramp is very useful. It took him a few times to familiarize himself with the ramp and where is it but he is using it. He now can come up and down the couch for treats or water or food. He likes to take his time walking, I don't know if this has something to do with the rough almost the texture of a nail file surface but it gives him better grip while walking on them. I also like how it wasn't to high or low, perfect for the couch and most likely the car as ramp.

I like how sturdy it is, I do not need to worry about it bending or breaking. My Great Pyrenees is like it too! Haha She looks like a model doing a fashion show if only she is not too big for it. :) Love it!
