Jump old dog

I've noticed it is harder and harder for my dog to get into the back of our SUV. I think it is time to get a ramp. Once upon a time I had an Otto step on the back of my vehicle. It was nice and convenient in that it stowed away but was always there when I needed it. However, I don't think Shiloh would use it well. Maybe on the way up, she would step on it, but when unloading, I think she might just jump over it. It worked well for my first dog as she was a bit more careful in getting out and would actually wait for me to have the step in place.

Another option I have found in pet steps for a vehicle is this one.

It will be a bit more work to tote it along, but that is usually only on trips to the vet where she actually gets out of the vehicle and needs to reload. Mostly, Shiloh is just along for the ride.

This brings me to my next thought. Could I get by with a less portable unit only for the garage like one of

these options.

I'm going to keep thinking on this.
