Three height settings rather than two is the practical difference here. A sofa, a bed and a car boot are three different heights, and a ramp that offers only one compromise pitch ends up used for one of them while the other two stay a jump. Set the ramp to suit the furniture, rather than asking an elderly cat or a short-legged dog to adapt to the ramp.

The frame is wooden, with a textured carpet surface over the climb so claws and pads have something to hold, and it folds flat for a boot or the gap down the side of a wardrobe. The maker rates it to 40lb, around 18kg, which places it squarely in cat, rabbit and small-dog territory rather than with the big breeds. Used inside that limit, wood is the right material: it does not flex underfoot the way a plastic ramp does, and flex is what makes a nervous animal step off sideways halfway up.

• Wooden frame construction
• Three adjustable height settings
• Textured non-slip carpet climbing surface
• Folds flat for storage and transport
• Rated for pets up to 40lb, around 18kg
• Suits sofas, beds, caravans and vehicle entry points

On measurements: the manufacturer publishes the weight limit and the number of height settings but no length or width at all, and we are not going to guess at a gradient we have not measured. Ask before you order and we will get the ramp's dimensions and the three heights confirmed. The 18kg limit is the real constraint, so if you have a labrador this is not your ramp. And leave it set up in one place: pets learn a ramp by walking it repeatedly, never by being carried up it.

Who it's for: cats, rabbits, puppies and small senior dogs, and homes where the sofa, the bed and the car each need a different height.
