Pet Gear supertraX Ramp for Dogs and Cats - Portable Tri-Fold 71in

Our review of the Pet Gear supertraX Ramp finds it best suited to pet owners who need a sturdy, portable solution to help medium and large dogs or cats reach vehicles, beds, or other raised surfaces. The single biggest reason to buy is the pressure-activated supertraX mat, which gives pets a broader, more secure paw contact than standard carpet treads and is removable for cleaning. The ramp folds compactly and has a built-in handle, making it straightforward to carry and store between uses.

Key Features

• Pressure-activated supertraX mat: Provides larger contact surface for paws so pets maintain stability while walking up or down the ramp.
• Removable mat: The supertraX surface detaches for cleaning, helping keep the ramp and vehicle interior hygienic.
• Tri-Fold design with handle: Folds into a compact shape and includes a built-in handle for easy transport and storage without tools.
• Raised edges and rubber grippers: Raised side edges reduce the chance of slipping off the ramp while rubberized bottom grippers help keep the ramp stable against surfaces.
• Safety tether: Included tether secures the ramp to most vehicles for added safety during loading and unloading.

Who It's For

The ramp works well for owners of medium and large dogs up to the stated capacity who need a reliable way to get pets into SUVs, trucks, or onto furniture. Its portability and fold-flat profile suit pet owners who travel or who need to store the ramp in tight spaces between uses.

Owners of very small pets or those who need an ultra-lightweight ramp to carry for long distances may want a narrower or lighter model, and anyone who frequently encounters wet conditions should be aware that traction can change when the surface is wet and may require extra caution.
