Side Door Car Entry Without the Jump
Getting a dog into the side door of a car can be difficult, especially for senior dogs, large breeds, or dogs with limited mobility. The PetSTEP Side Door Entry Car Dog Ramp creates a stable, non-slip path into and out of your vehicle, giving your dog an alternative to jumping while helping you avoid repeatedly lifting them.
Unlike a standard ramp positioned at the rear of a vehicle, this system is designed specifically for side door entry. It combines the PetSTEP Folding Ramp with a secure support strap system that helps keep the ramp stable while your dog walks up or down.
With its rubberized, ribbed traction surface and weight capacity of up to 500 lbs, the ramp gives dogs of different sizes secure footing and a more gradual way to get in and out of the car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a side door dog ramp instead of a regular car ramp?
A traditional dog ramp is often positioned at the rear of a vehicle. The PetSTEP Side Door Entry system is specifically designed to provide ramp access through a vehicle's side door, which can be more convenient depending on your vehicle and where your dog rides.
Is the ramp non-slip?
Yes. The PetSTEP ramp features a rubberized, ribbed walking surface designed to provide secure traction as your dog walks up and down.
How does the ramp stay secure at the side of the vehicle?
The system combines the PetSTEP ramp with a support strap designed for side-door use. The strap helps stabilize the ramp and keep it securely positioned while your dog uses it.
What size dogs can use it?
The ramp supports up to 500 lbs, making it suitable for dogs of many different sizes and breeds.
What types of vehicles can I use it with?
The Side Door Entry system is designed for use with sedans, SUVs and trucks, giving dogs access through the side passenger area rather than requiring rear vehicle access.
How much does it weigh?
The ramp weighs approximately 19 lbs, making it portable enough to take along for everyday car rides and travel.
Does it require tools to install?
No. The support strap is designed to attach in seconds without tools.
Can I use the ramp when it’s not attached to the side of my car?
Yes. The Side Door Entry system uses the PetSTEP Folding Ramp, so the ramp isn’t limited to side-door vehicle use. Remove the side-entry support system and use it as a standard folding dog ramp for rear vehicle access, beds, couches, stairs and other elevated surfaces where your dog needs an easier way up or down.
The ramp also folds in half for storage and travel, so you can keep it in your vehicle or store it at home when it’s not in use.
How do I clean it?
The ramp is weather-resistant and can be cleaned with soap and water.
