dog ramp slopes: the maths

The incline of your dog ramp should not be too steep. The ideal range for the slope of a dog ramp measures between 18 and 26 degrees. A larger degree angle means that it will take more effort to walk up the ramp.

There are 3 main types of slopes:

Easy slope (18-20 degrees): a gentle incline recommended for elderly dogs or dogs with hip/leg problems

Normal slope (22-24 degrees): suitable for most dogs, and for dogs beginning to show signs of mobility struggles

Climber slope (26 degrees): best suited to younger, healthy dogs with good mobility

Don’t worry! At dogini dog ramps, we have done the maths, and all ramp settings are an easy or normal slope.
