Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp
The Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp was developed to solve a very specific problem: safely supporting heavy Giant Breed dogs and very high vehicles where standard or XL ramps can create too steep an incline.
Designed with extra length, increased strength and a wider walking surface, this giant breed folding dog ramp provides better stability and weight support for very large, heavy dogs when getting in and out of tall vehicles, while helping to reduce joint strain caused by jumping down from height.

High-Grip, Hygienic Rubber Surface
The rubber walking surface provides excellent traction, especially for large dogs, and is easy to wipe clean and more hygienic than carpet or artificial grass. -

Dog Mom is definitely my first call when it comes to recommendations for my clients. As a veterinary physiotherapist, I often deal with patients who range from mild to severe physical compromise and no matter the degree, we always recommend making the efforts of jumping on and off high surfaces easier on their bodies.

Your pet deserves perfect quality and Dog Mom is undoubtedly able to deliver. – Kirsten Straszacker – Owner of Startline Veterinary Physiotherapy
As a Veterinary Rehabilitation Practitioner, I highly recommend these ramps for any pet with orthopedic or spinal issues. The ramp’s correct angle reduces the concussive forces on joints, especially during downward movement, preventing accidents and minimizing strain. The durable design, combined with excellent traction from the rubber surface, ensures my dogs can move up and down safely without slipping. – Lorren Barham – Owner of Pet Wellness Worx
As a dog trainer, behaviourist and owner of a doggy daycare/kennel, I frequently recommend Dog Mom car and couch ramps to my clients with elderly dogs, both big and small.

Her client service goes above and beyond as well! – Kerry McDonald – Owner of Pet-i-Ket Daycare, Training & Kennels
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ramp only suitable for Giant Breed dogs?
Whilst this ramp is designed primarily as a giant breed dog ramp, built to safely support very large and heavy dogs, it can also be a good option for non-giant dogs if you drive a very high vehicle and need a longer ramp to reduce the incline angle. Well suited to vehicles like Ford Rangers, Jimny’s etc.
What breeds is the Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp best suited for?
This ramp is ideal for heavy Giant Breeds such as Great Danes, Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, St Bernards, Irish Wolfhounds and similar large dogs. These breeds place greater load and impact on ramps, which is why extra length, width and strength are important.
Why would I choose this ramp over a standard or XL ramp?
The key difference is length and load support. At 2.1m long, this ramp creates a gentler incline for very high vehicles where shorter ramps may feel too steep. It is also built to better support heavier dogs, where additional stability and strength are needed.
Is this ramp suitable for a Ford Ranger or other very high vehicles?
Yes. This ramp can be a good option for very high vehicles, such as a Ford Ranger or similar tall bakkies and large SUVs, where a longer ramp helps reduce the incline angle.
We recommend using the Ramp Angle Calculator to confirm which ramp length is safest for your specific vehicle and dog.
How much weight can the Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp support?
The ramp is weight tested to 100kg, with further testing ongoing. It is designed to handle the demands of heavy Giant Breed dogs and regular use.
Is the ramp easy to handle despite its size?
Yes. While the ramp weighs approximately 12kg, this adds to its sturdiness and stability. Ergonomic carry handles make it easier to lift, position and store, even with its heavier-duty build.
Does the ramp provide enough grip for large dogs?
The ramp features a high-grip rubber walking surface that provides excellent traction, helping large dogs feel secure when walking up or down. The rubber surface is also easy to wipe clean and more hygienic than carpet or artificial grass.
How should the ramp be positioned on my vehicle?
For best stability, we recommend using the ramp at the boot or bumper area of your vehicle. Some customers may find it works in other configurations depending on vehicle height and door opening angle. We suggest testing what feels most secure for your setup.
How do I know if this ramp is the right length for my vehicle?
Vehicle height plays a big role in ramp safety. If you are unsure which ramp length is best, use the Ramp Angle Calculator to compare incline angles and choose the safest option for your dog.
Is the Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp the longest vehicle ramp available in South Africa?
At 2.1m long when open, this ramp is among the longest locally available dog vehicle ramps in South Africa, designed to offer a much gentler incline for very high vehicles and heavy dogs than most imported or telescoping ramp options commonly found in local stores.
