[Dailydrool] Chiming in on Ramps

[Patti]

Esther, I would be interested in purchasing the ramp.  My Bella jumps up and down to get into my bed and I'm so afraid she will hurt her back.  My other bassets have all used steps but Miss Bella says no way will I use those steps! 

Thanks,

I bought a car ramp for Waldo years ago after his back surgery meant he couldn't be lifted anymore. He took to it very quickly. Basil also can use the ramp now; I just lead him up and down it on leash. HOWEVER. Basil is very petite (about 38 lbs.), and the ramp seems to weigh more than he does. (It doesn't really - I think it's about 25 lbs.) So to save MY back, I usually end up just lifting him in and out. 

So, to add to Anita's offer: I have a BUV ramp for sale as well. Mine is a telescoping one (like this one http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3960704), not folding. The one in the link is a newer one, made out of lightweight materials. Trust me, ours is a lot heavier than 13 lbs. It's very sturdy, and was originally about $100. If anyone wants it, email me off-list. I'll give you a deal!

  In case you are wondering, the ramp for the BUV is still in the garage, where it now has a permanent home.  If anyone would like to buy a very nice, sturdy, folding ramp for their BUV (VERY lightly used) at a greatly reduced price, please let me know.  I'll even pay the shipping.
