What is the weight limit for this ramp? I have a Bernese Mountain Dog (aprox 117 lbs), will it hold her?

I don't think so. This ramp is fine for my tiny miniature Dachshunds, but it would not hold 117 pounds, it would bend in the middle since it is made out of plastic. I would go with something a little more sturdy.

Ya I think she would be fine ours is a 90 lb lab and it handles her just fine

I have walked up and down it myself and I am "slightly" over 117lb! The bigger problem you might have is convincing her to use it. It has no sides and the carpet is pretty smooth underfoot. My 18 lb Bichon avoids it like it is evil. Yes I tried all the training tips but it didnt work for my dog. So it sits in a corner. The best use we have found for it thusfar has been helping us slide two upholstered wing chairs up to the second floor via our stairway.

I don't have an answer for you but I'm looking for the same thing! I have a 10 yo 3 legged mini schnauzer and I have a very high bed as well. I'm wondering if you tried this ramp or if you found 1 that does work?

My dogs are only about 10 lbs. I don't recall what Pet Gear indicates in the product info as to the weight it can sustain. You might need a longer one to go to the height of a vehicle, I just use mine for the dogs to get on and off a low bed. I think if you read what other ramps state it will give you a better idea. I really like this ramp as it is sturdy, folds in half and isn't too heavy for me to carry.

This ramp is excellent for any dog up to at least 80 pounds. Free-standing is nice because it doesn't have to attach to or touch any surface, just be nearby.

My dog weighs 44 pounds and it holds her no problem. It is very sturdy and durable. I am very pleased with my purchase.

The ramp seems sturdy. I got it for my ten pound Chihuahua mix, but I also have a 60 pound dog, and I would have no qualms about her using it. That being said, the parts snap into place (as opposed to lock or screw) so I could see it collapsing if overstrained. But again, it feels/seems very sturdy.

my 2 daschunds fit on it together and that is a total weight of 26 lbs but I think it could handle quite a bit more. It fits the 2 of them just fine. I put a pad on it for more comfort and support for them.

The ramp folds into thirds, so it's 18". The spec says it holds 1500 pounds. I haven't done anything near that heavy, but it feels really sturdy. I think it would work.

I don't think is strong enough to hold a dog that large. Look at a large wire kennel cage.Dan

The ramp is 48 inches and slides out to a max of 87 inches. there are rubber style pads on the bottom not sure if it would keep it from sliding on wood floor. I have no complaints about ramp. I use it for getting my 140lb dog in and out of my truck and it has taken a beating, a couple of the plastic pieces have broken off but still does the trick.

Like the others, I am also unsure of the weight limit but it's no problem for an 80lb German Shepherd. It kind of dips in the center (slightly) when she is on it, but I think that's what it's supposed to do to absorb her weight. It bounces right back once she's off of it. It's a really nice bed and does seem strong, but the large size would not be big enough for a 200lb Great Dane.

It depends how far off the ground it is, because if it's like some trucks that angle might be pretty steep. I bought it for my 85 pound weimaraner who has arthritis and honestly she has refused to use it or any ramp. If your dog is pretty mobile, it might work for you.

The ramp is 72 inches fully extended. It starts it's slope at 68 inches. The way I determined where the ramp would work for my dog was to use a tape measure. Extend the tape to 72 inches and place it as the ramp will be placed. This should show you if the slope will be an angle you dog can handle. Hope this helps.

My dogs are big, but no where near 170 lbs. it took both my dogs some time and working with them for them to understand what the ramp was for, but they are up and down so fast I never noticed if it moved or bounced at all, It's pretty strong and works well. Good luck.

I have a 12 lb Yorkie and she can use it with no Problem. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I would say a dog that goes to about 20 maybe 25 lbs could use but it would depend on the body stature.

Hi, I weigh about 120 and I can walk up and down them, so it holds my weight. I also want to add and I left this out of my previous post, that the steps are not very wide and although I got them for my cat, neither my cat or dog want to go down them. You are probably better off with a heavy board and use it as a ramp. Much cheaper too. Mary C

I would say up to 100 lbs. We use it primarily for our 45lb basset hound. But, our other 58lb basset can fit in it with her, but I think it pushes the limit. Need to make sure the tires are inflated properly.
