I wasted my money on a ramp initially. I have a great Pyrenee weights 130 lbs and is now having difficulty getting in and out of my suv. On the 2nd try he immediately went up the steps. He is still struggling to go down the steps, but with more practice he will get it. Woud highly recommended these steps before u try the ramp. Much much lighter than a ramp and occupies less space, and costs half is price.
