Thanks for your replies! I think I will get the one you advise Julie+Steven!
My dog had a big operation to his front leg last year PoppyDog, his "wrist" was collapsing (genetic apparently) and the vet had to insert and screw to his bones 2 metal bars in order to straighten and support his leg and the recovery time goes from 8 to 10 months. This means that, while he's recovering and can walk again more or less normally, he can no longer bend it from the knee down.
I have a Land Rover too, and I bought a ramp for him, but he's always struggled to climb up it and ended up putting too much strain on his bad leg, which is not good, he even stumbled and fell off on a couple of occasions.
He seems to be fine going up steps however, so I started considering that as an alternative to a ramp.
At the moment I encourage him to put his front paws on the boot and then I pick him up from the back and help him in, but as unfortunately my circumstances in life have recently changed, I will need to take him with me to work on a regular basis and it's not an ideal system (don't want to do my back in at some stage or hurt him). Besides, the ramp needs a lot of room when deployed (length of ramp plus extra space for the dog to run up), and I'm not always able to park somewhere suitable.
Thanks again!
