The Best Dog Ramps
Can Be Made At Home

The best dog ramps can be ones you build yourself.

Do you have a bigger dog that is starting to have trouble climbing stairs or jumping up to places off the ground?

Does your dog have to stay home or on the dock because lifting him or her will put you out of commission?

Why strain your back or inconvenience yourself?

Build one or more of our dog ramps to make life easier for you and allow your dog more dignity and independence.

SOME WAYS HOMEMADE DOG RAMPS ARE USED:

• Portable Dog Ramps For Cars or Boats and
  Folding Dog Ramps to get your dog in and out of your car, truck, SUV or boat.

  The photo at right shows Shadow using one of our folding dog ramp designs, the Dogge Ramp™. See Dogge Plans™ for details.

• Fixed or portable dog pool ramps to help dogs get out of swimming pools. (Fixed ramps help prevent accidental drownings.)
• Dog boat ramps for assisting dogs in getting out of the water back into a boat.

• Indoor dog ramps for beds or couches. These ramps can be freestanding or attached to a
  couch or bed. See

  Dog Bed Ramp Materials - Plywood Ramp
  Dog Bed Ramps - Instructions For Building
• Ramps to cover steps or stairs that are too steep. For a good beginner project, see instructions to build the Simple Plywood Dog Ramp, pictured at right, that was used by a Yellow Lab named Duke for several years.

• Plywood and lumber
• Aluminum
• Fiberglass
• PVC pipe and canvas
• Non-skid coating or carpeting to prevent sliding
