Dog Ramps for Every Need: Travel, Vet Visits & Safety
Dog ramps are a simple solution for helping dogs of all sizes and ages navigate high surfaces with ease. Whether it’s getting into a car, climbing onto a bed, or visiting the vet, ramps provide a safe and comfortable way for your pet to move around—especially for senior dogs or those with mobility challenges. They also save pet owners the strain of lifting their furry friends, making daily routines smoother for everyone.
Helping your pet navigate steep or elevated surfaces—like a tall bed or the back of a car—becomes much easier with the right support. Instead of jumping, your dog can safely walk up using a ramp designed for stability and ease. Many models conveniently fold or collapse, making them ideal for travel and storage. At ACES, we offer a wide selection of dog ramps to suit every need—read on to find the perfect fit for you and your furry companion.
HalfStep® Ramp
This dog ramp is perfect for dogs of all sizes that don’t need to climb particularly high surfaces, such as low steps, cars, or couches. The HalfStep® Ramp features a patented rubberized surface that provides superior traction, even when wet—ideal for dogs with joint issues, mobility concerns, or those recovering from surgery. Optional legs can be added to convert it into a free-standing ramp, giving you greater flexibility in how and where it’s used. Lightweight yet durable, it’s easy to carry and maneuver, weighing only 5.4 kg. While suitable for all dogs, it’s especially well-suited for larger or aging pets who need extra support and stability.

PetSafe® Happy Ride™️ Folding Dog Ramps
For dogs of all sizes that need a bit bigger of a ramp to climb atop, and for dog owners who need that little extra portability and collapsibility, we recommend folding dog ramps like the PetSafe® Happy Ride™️. As per its name this ramp folds up when not in use to save valuable space inside of your vehicle, then easily folds back out when it’s time for your dog to hop in. This ramp is made of hard plastic and is more than durable enough to put up with a few paw scratches, and supports dogs up to 68 kg.
Other PetSafe® Collapsible Dog Ramps
Not looking to fold? If you need other size options for your car or truck, consider the Compact, Deluxe, and Extra Long PetSafe® Happy Ride™️ Telescoping Dog Ramps. These ramps offer a smooth, adjustable design with high-traction surfaces and side rails for added safety. All three are made of lightweight aluminum, easy to handle, and designed to suit various dog sizes, ages, and vehicle heights.
The Compact version extends from 71 to 177 cm and supports up to 136 kg, making it ideal for smaller vehicles and tight storage spaces. The Deluxe ramp spans 99 to 183 cm and holds up to 181 kg, striking a balance between size and strength. For taller vehicles, the Extra Long ramp extends from 119 to 221 cm while still supporting up to 136 kg, offering a gentler incline for senior or mobility-challenged pets.
PetStep Ramp
A larger ramp, comparable to the HalfStep® ramp in construction, this ramp is taller and slightly steeper than other dog ramps we’ve mentioned so far. This height makes it more suitable for taller vehicles and more comfortable and confidence-inspiring in larger dogs. Optional legs convert this ramp into a table when necessary, especially useful for veterinary practices. Veterinary offices may also consider using PetStep Ramps to aid larger or aging dogs up onto an examination table, without any unnecessary muscle strains on the part of the veterinary technician.
