Our Old English Sheep dog (Daisy) is, well, old! Her back legs aren't as good as there once were so she can't jump into the car.

She will struggle and pull herself in with her front legs but we are changing cars and the new one in a bit higher.

She loves coming out with us even if only to the supermarket! When we take the, much younger, Springer Spaniel (Tango) out she just launched herself from 6/10 foot away and stops when she hits the back of the front seats!

A while ago someone posted this link/website:

http://www.petloader.com/

I've emailed them but had no reply.

I've looked/Googled and can't find a decent solution so has anyone any ideas/suggestion?

Yes, there is a Pets at Home near me but the link you posted is online only. biggrinwink

I was more meaning if anyone knew any other ideas/solutions rather than a ramp or steps.
The American one is a brilliant solution but, as I said, they haven't answered my email.

I did find a folding step thing but it was only suitable for light weight dogs and our Daisey isn't light!

Eric thanks for posting. I was a bit surprised that they didn't reply, maybe my email got lost?

Anyway I purchased this:

Bit more than the same one at Pets at Home but they didn't have any in stock and could not give a date when they would.

Delivered in 2 days and whilst I've not used it I would recommend it. It's very well made, nice grippy surface and not to heavy.
