Is 180 lbs the absolute maximum? What if my dog is around 190 lbs? Will it still work (I only plan to use for emergencies)?

I have never used mine,folding in my wayback in car-it's well made and the footprint isn't huge. If they say 180 can't imagine 10# would matter.

My dog is 12 pounds and has plenty of room. My guess is 20-25 pounds would be a maximum.

I would be surprised if it were big enough. I use it for a 20 lb French bulldog who runs around in it but I don't think it would be big enough for an 85 lb dog stretched out.

The biggest that I know of just because my husband is this weight... is 190. Im not sure of the weight limit though. Sorry I couldn't be more help

I don't know. I weigh about 180 pounds and it works fine for me. I do think a person with a very large derriere would have problems using this. Other than that, it has been a joy to own.

Not sure about the actual number, but it has held up fine for 200 pound teenagers. Unless your dog is bigger than that I don't think you should worry

Mine isn't strong enough either. I waited too long to return it. I went and bought a real good one from a Dog Trainer. It has 120 levels plus vibrate only and works great. It was about $260 but well worth it. I have a 1 1/2 year old German shepherd @ 90 lbs.

Sorry, I could not find any specs that specifies a weight limit. My dog is 14lbs and it keeps her in place.

Best for small dogs. My dog is 16 pounds and I rarely use the home...only for discipline. And when he was 12 pounds the base was not strong enough to carry him. It is a very nice item for small dogs.

I have walked up and down it myself and I am "slightly" over 117lb! The bigger problem you might have is convincing her to use it. It has no sides and the carpet is pretty smooth underfoot. My 18 lb Bichon avoids it like it is evil. Yes I tried all the training tips but it didnt work for my dog. So it sits in a corner. The best use we have found for it thusfar has been helping us slide two upholstered wing chairs up to the second floor via our stairway.

My dogs are big, but no where near 170 lbs. it took both my dogs some time and working with them for them to understand what the ramp was for, but they are up and down so fast I never noticed if it moved or bounced at all, It's pretty strong and works well. Good luck.

It should work if you can secure it adequately. Keep in mind the 180lb weight limit.

firm foam, and at 220lbs it might not be firm enough. I way 180lbs and I flatten it pretty good. Still does what it is suppose to do, but you may want to look for one a little thicker. I wish I had.

I imagine that it will work. But you are definitely pushing the weight limit a little bit since it is rated for 220 pounds max. I think something with inflatable tires might be your best bet.

I don't know if there is a max weight. when you are in the water it sort of holds you weightless. I am 180 pretty heavy and I've never had a problem

Trish, our dog is 70 pounds, and I have to use the maximum setting (H8) to get his attention. I didn't expect to have to use that high a setting.
