We tried a couple of different options for our pup to safely get on and off the bed, but he hated them.  This looked so perfect for him to just walk up and down the ramp! And he loves it.  He had a herniated disc, we think from jumping off the bed, so needed something to prevent that from happening again.  We love this ramp, it is like a piece of furniture. Our master bedroom is not huge, and this is a pretty big piece, but it slides right up to the side or end of the bed without sticking out into the room!  Very happy with quality.
