Our Saint Bernard was the runt of the litter, and only goes around 160 pounds. Would this be the perfect ramp for him??

I can't say for sure. Our Golden Retriever only weighs 68 pounds. The ramp isn't as long as I would have liked it to be. I ended up putting a platform step that goes into the hitch mount on my Jeep, and put the ramp on that. That way it is not too steep for our Golden girl. She can use the ramp to the step, then step up into the back of the Jeep. We lift her into the back seat of the Yukon.

It has worked wonders for our Rottweiler and is very sturdy, so I think this sould be the perfect ramp for you. Our Rottie is very skittish but gets up and down this ramp as if nothing:)

Probably. Our 110# GSD uses it and loves it. I think the weight limit is 300# so it should be ok. We load our GSD into the side of a Honda Odyssey van so it is not a steep grade. If you load into the back or side of a SUV I suspect that would be a steeper grade the dog may or may not get enough traction and feel comfortable with it. The ramp is a good material, fiberglass I think, with a decent traction (sand paper like) surface. And, made in the USA.

This ramp would absolutely be the perfect ramp for him. I don't know what we would do without ours. Love it.

I think so. My rotti had no problems with it. Just make sure its sturdy. The ramp has no slip grip on it so he never had a problem with it. It was the best thing I ever bought. At first he was a little unsure about it. I had to coax him up with a treat until he got use to it.

Sadly, our dog passed away before he could use the ramp. However, we gave it to the veterinary hospital and they have successfully used it to get incapacitated dogs of all sorts out of vehicles. It's a well-made piece of equipment that had rec'd. good buzz when we bought it.

I don't think so. This ramp is fine for my tiny miniature Dachshunds, but it would not hold 117 pounds, it would bend in the middle since it is made out of plastic. I would go with something a little more sturdy.

Yes it's huge! My Saint Bernard and Chocolate lab both sleep together on it :)

My 16 lb cocker spaniel can move it all around the laminate floor. It's great for the little pup we have but if I put the cocker in with her she moves it across the room and out of shape. I would think if she moved it into the right configuration, she could knock it over:)

Yes. My 61 pound wirehaired pointing griffon has no problem using this ramp. It is sturdy and required no training for my girl. She ran right up into the car and I use it as a ramp up to my bed as well. It stays in place.

We use ours on our 115 lbs elderly Spinone. Couldn't live w/o it! He won't go up a ramp. It does not bunch up.

My Lab is 75lbs and loves to roll it all over the floor and eat the treats as they fall out. But as soon as I hear there are no more treats I immediate take it away from her because she will chew on it. I would suggest getting one for your Saint Bernard but supervise them and take it away when done. Hope this helps.

This ramp should work fine for a dog getting onto a bed, but, of course, make sure you have the space for the length of the ramp to fit.

Hi Blondie, the ramp itself it pretty sturdy, you'll just need to make seure it's secured well so it doesnt slip under the weight.

This is a very sturdy ramp. I think a boarding ramp for an old house boat would work provided it is set and leveled properly. I'm surprised this is sold as dog ramp it's heavy bulky too much to take in and out of car I used it only a few times. Good luck

I don't have an answer for you but I'm looking for the same thing! I have a 10 yo 3 legged mini schnauzer and I have a very high bed as well. I'm wondering if you tried this ramp or if you found 1 that does work?

I think so. The first step is only 6 inches from the ground, and each step is 6 inches apart. I'm sure he would be able to make it up without any problems. You could always set it up as a ramp, however the stope is a little steep. My dogs prefer to use it as stairs.

In my opinion this would NOT be substantial enough for an animal that weight. Even 75# might be pushing it. It is more the stability of it and step size that I would worry about. My cat is about 15# and I had 19# cat that I would not have used this size for.

The ramp is strong enough to hold the dog but I am not sure he will be able to climb up the ramp with bad hips. Our dog ( Welsh Corgi) is old and has arthritis in her hips plus bad eye sight and she would go down the ramp but refused to go up the ramp. Maybe because your dog is bigger it might be easier for the size of your dog. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer but it did not work for our dog. The ramp is strong and has a good covering for non slip climbing. The product is solid but again I can't tell if it would work for your dog.

Paul, I bought it as a gift so don't have it to measure but they have a Bernese Mountain Dog who weighs 130 lbs and it works great for his use. It is wider than the ramp they had before and they loved it!

It should work. Smeagol was 19 lbs and had room. However, he was also 8 years old, and he did not take to this. He would just lay on the floor and refuse to move! I gave it to a neighbor with a younger cat who took right to the thing. Good luck!

It's a bit steep, my bunny makes the jump instead of climbing. You might be able to put something on the ramp (which does have little steps) so it's grippier. Or maybe put something low next to the ramp to give a boost. But the ramp on it's own might be a bit daunting.
