Thanks. My dog is getting older and having a harder time getting in and out of the car.

I bought a couple cats that refuse to get in.
I know this is OT but I literally can't keep my cats out. This big boy jumped in the bed, then across the roof, down the windshield onto the hood, then came right up to the window a few days ago for me to let him in:

And here's what he does when he's inside:

Can someone please tell @Rivian about these wild animals? Feel like it would make a good commercial for them. And it's time for these cats to earn their keep, LOL. 😹

I don't have a ramp yet since I carry my ~70lb dog in. In rare cases (R1S on lowest height and backed toward an incline) she might jump in. But I don't want her jumping out and risk hurting her legs.

I'm casually looking for a ramp, but I want something that's portable/can fold to something small. I don't want to carry around a huge contraption that takes up 1/2 the trunk space.

The pet loader steps are as compact as you will get. Ramps aren't generally as portable. Alternatively, you can take out part of the 2nd row, which I did after about a year and half. Now, my golden retriever just hops in when I put the R1S in lowest. However, it's still a bit of clearance when you factor in the dog bed so it still might be a bit much for an elderly dog.
