Ramp4Paws Strap for Side-Entry Vehicles
The Ramp4Paws Strap is designed to stabilize the Ramp4Paws 18-link dog ramp when it is used with 4-door sedan vehicles. The rear doors of these vehicles do not open wide enough for the ramp to rest securely on the seat of the vehicle, so the ramp must be placed at an angle. [Note: the strap is not recommended for use with the side-entry of SUVs, as the ground-to-seat height is too steep.]
“Your product is the only one I could find to address the need for getting a dog into the back seat of a car. I keep the Strap attached to one end of the ramp; it is nice that I don’t have to remove it each time. It is a great product.”
– Pat A. Madison, WI

The other end of the Strap is a “loop”, fastened with Velcro®. After the loop is unfastened, the Strap sections can be wrapped around the end link of the ramp which will rest on the vehicle seat. The loop is then refastened with Velcro®. | |
