dog ramps for couch needed

Peachy has stairs to get on the couch, but they are too steep for her to walk down. I think with her recent neuro issues, I need to get her a ramp to make it easier for her to get down. Any suggestions? Free standing? Foam? Height? I don't want it to be too steep for her.

I made my DH make the steps for our bed, so I am no help....

You are a lucky lady Marci.

Here's a link that might be helpful. I haven't used a ramp in years, but someone recommended this site.

When Mollie had her "disc issue", we bought one free standing ramp from http://www.discountramps.com/dog_bed_ramp.htm
They are very solid, and well constructed! We bought just one so hubby could look at how it was made since his hobby is woodworking :) Then he made 5 more...lol! So we have one for the couch in the living room, one for the couch in the sunroom, one for the bed and one he constructed for outdoor use ( it kind of slides over part of the stairs on the back deck) and one extra one....cause you never know where those pugs will want to get to!

Eh, he does try, I will give him that! If he would get employed again he would up his value some!

My favorite ramps

I absolutely swear by this guy for pug ramps. Really really really well made, and super-affordable. I have two, because of Marlee's FHO surgeries, and they've held up beautifully for the last 4+ years. Plus, they're sturdy enough to hold tons of weight, even though they're small -- my nieces like to use the "couch ramp" when they visit, too.

They have these "handles" that hook onto the couch frame, underneath the cushion. On the bed, I have the handles hooked onto the boxspring, under the mattress.

The 40" length would probably be great for Peachy, because it would be even less steep.

Great price, too!

Thanks. I just put a bid on the 40" one. It closes in 3 hours.

I had no luck with Angus and a ramp. He didn't understand that he had to go down the same way he came up. Unfortunately, I had to train him to stay off the furniture and that was NOT easy after 9 years of doing whatever he wanted.

I just won the 40" ramp for 32.90, including shipping. We will see how it works on the couch for that price.

I hope you like it! I've had mine for ages and they still look brand-new (except this one small part of the wood that Marlee chewed as a puppy).

I was hoping you would give input on the ramps because I remember you have used them for a while. You can't beat that price. If Peachy doesn't like it, I can get a free standing one. I have had so many seniors, it is going to be a good idea to keep it around.
