Trixie 3-Step Folding Steps, Aluminium/Plastic/Tpr, Width 37 cm/Height Up To 57 cm/De

This is great I can open it with one hand and a foot and close with one hand so I can still keep control of my reactive dog. It's tiny compared to many ramps and fits nicely in the space behind the drivers seat. The fabric supplied with it to protect the car should velcro on to the boot carpet and fold over the bumper this didn't work on mine probably due to the amount of dog hair on the carpet. I brought two sticky non slip pads and stuck them to the bumper and that works fine.Update: I have been using this almost daily since purchasing in May this morning one of the screws has come loose and fallen out. I would still recommend it as it's so easy to use but a quick check over every so often is necessary.

These are great, they are light enough to close with 1 hand which is useful with 2 dogs! My dogs are medium sized and steps are sturdy enough for them. Trained them to go up and down with chicken and now no worries about injuries getting in and out of car boot.

Note - check and tighten the bolts every month or two as they loosen with use and will fall out. You'll need a hex/allen key.Got these for my elderly labrador to get in and out of the car boot. I wanted solid steps rather than fabric as she doesn’t like wobbly surfaces, and refused to use a plastic ramp as it flexes when she treads on it. These steps are very stable and it was easy to train her to use them. (Don’t rush your dog, reward them for stepping on one step, give them plenty of time to feel secure, encourage them but don’t drag or push them).The 3 step version fits well on my Honda CRV 2016 (57cm off the ground), and can be angled for a slightly higher or lower boot, but you might want a 4-step version for a much higher boot. I can fold them up easily with one hand, but need two hands to unfold them. They are not heavy or bulky when folded, but do take up more space than the fabric type. They came with a fabric bumper protector (I don’t need it as I have a boot protector with a fold out flap). I would strongly recommend holding the top of the steps in place when your dog is using them as there’s nothing to fix them to the boot.They can fit in the footwell of the back seat, or if you have space, either sit them flat in the boot, or use a bungee or Velcro strap to hold them on their side against the side wall of the boot. Obviously the base gets muddy so wrap them or place them on the protector or an old towel.These are quite expensive but worth it for my dog.

We have a retired Guide Dog, over 50kg and getting on in age, he got used to using these steps in no time. Everyone who sees how convenient these are asks where we got them...

Brilliant for my four year old lab who already has hip issues. So, to help her age gracefully, we thought we’d try to assistant her ailment (as it’s not going to get better with age) by assisting her after her boundless free runs when she refuses to jump back in the car. I am not able to lift her in and after a few ‘tit bits’ thrown into the boot she quickly learnt to take the steps. They’re light weight and easily dispensed between parked cars.

I bought these steps for my arthritic lab and within 33 days the flimsy steps had broken - an inner screw has come loose and it is impossible for it to be repaired. - I have spent £80 on steps that are poorly made and now unable to be returned. I have complained to Trixie and had no response. Utter waste of money and I would advise you to buy a different item where should the be problems good cutomer care is given. Be mindful there is a safety concern...your finger can easily get nipped when closing if your not careful and also due to the sharp edges the steps will easily scrap your car/boot when folded and being put back into your boot. Very poor product with a company that has no customer care.

Having used clothstep in the past my bog was very unstable on them and it was getting nervous to the point it was inpossible to get him in the car , I brought the Trixe steps as a last resort and I am so pleased I did they are brilliant my dog goes up them with confidence excellent product .😊

These steps really surprised me with their sturdiness, they easily coped with the weight of my 29kg dog and they don't move when rested on the boot against the boot lip. Very impressed, the only reason I can't give 5 stars is because at the moment I don't find them terribly easy to unfold whilst holding 3 leads!! I would love to add photos and videos but the Amazon app won't let me 😢

The media could not be loaded. We bought this so our 7 yr old GSD would not cause unnecessary damage to his hips. The more he used it, the more he loved it, to the point of not attempting to jump up in the truck anymore. He's 9 now and his favorite thing in the world is to go for a ride. As you can see in the video, it supports his weight and stays stable. It folds/opens easily and it's not cumbersome.

Il mio cane si trova bene, è veramente comoda e resistente. Ottimi i materiali.

Nach vielen Versuchen mit verschiedenen Einstiegshilfen ist diese Treppe für mich das beste Produkt.Leicht, einhändig zu bedienen, zusammengeklappt sehr kompakt, ausgeklappt ist auch nur wenig Raum notwendig. Die Stufen haben eine rutschhemmende Gummieinlage. Die Treppe ist auch ausreichend stabil, wenn der Hund aufwärts oder abwärts geht. Meine Hunde haben jeweils 38 kg Körpergewicht.Ich halte Rampen aus Sicht des Hundes für die schlechtere Alternative, da die Füße des Hundes beim Einsteigen aufwärts gebogen werden. Das belastet die Gelenke und kann schon schmerzhaft sein, insbesondere bei älteren Hunden ( Arthrose ). Außerdem stoßen die Krallen in das rutschhemmende Profil, d.h. die Krallen werden ins Krallenbett gedrückt. Auch hier gilt: je älter der Hund ist, umso schmerzhafter dürfte das sein. Zusätzlich muß der Hund das lästige Rutschen auf der schiefen Ebene durch eine höhere Geschwindigkeit ausgleichen. Bei dieser Treppe ist der Pfotenauftritt immer eben und dadurch werden die Fußgelenke entlastet. Die Krallen stoßen weder beim Ein- noch Aussteigen an. Auch die beabsichtigte geringere Beanspruchung der Wirbelsäule ist gewährleistet, weil der Hund die Treppe langsamer auf- und absteigen kann, da das lästige Rutschen unmöglich ist. Auch das dürfte insbesondere älteren Hunden deutlich angenehmer sein. Die Treppe sitzt auch stabiler am Kofferraum an als eine Rampe, da die oberste Stufe auch eben ist. Dadurch ist auch die Gefahr des Abrutschens von der Stoßstange oder der Gummidichtung deutlich geringer, besonders wenn der Hund schnell geht. Auch dies ist ein Vorteil des ebenen Auftrittes.Bei Erhalt sollte man jedoch prüfen, ob die Treppe zum eigenen Auto kompatibel ist. Der Grund ist die Höhe der Ladekante. Ist die Ladekante sehr hoch, steht die Treppe eventuell zu stark aufwärts geneigt.Die Aluminiumstreben sollte man vor Gebrauch entgraten. Das schont die eigenen Hände und das Interieur des Autos ( Man führt die Treppe ja im hinteren Personenraum mit, wenn die Hunde im Kofferraum sind. ) Die Schrauben sollte man vor dem ersten Einsatz mit Schraubensicherungskleber behandeln. Trotzdem würde ich den festen Sitz von Zeit zu Zeit überprüfen. Die Reibungsflächen kann man mit etwas teflonhaltigem Öl behandeln. Das erleichtert insbesondere das einhändige Ausklappen mit etwas Schwung.Nach jahrelangen Erfahrungen mit Rampen wünschte ich mir, diese Treppe früher entdeckt zu haben.Nachtrag, Mai 2023: Die Treppe versieht nach wie vor zuverlässig ihren Dienst im täglichen Gebrauch.Nachtrag, Mai 2024: Weiterhin problemlose Funktion im täglichen Einsatz. Die Treppe ist "rottisicher".

No flexa y no asusta a los perros

Utiliser pour faire monter mes deux chiens dans le coffre de la voiture un Briard et un bordied collie.et donc suffisamment solide pour un chien de 40 kg se déplie très facilement et tient peu de place dans la voiture. Une protection est fournie pour protéger le pare-choc de la voiture
