The best time to use ramps for dogs or cats is anytime throughout their lives. Lending a helping hand to your pet, big or small, protects their back and joints from the impact of jumping on and off the couch or bed. This durable, wood-constructed ramp is 14 inches tall and is perfect for furry family members up to 100 pounds. Thanks to the heavy-duty carpet cover, your dog or cat can confidently get up on the sofa without their paws slipping on the ramp.
