Getting 120lbs dog In passenger seat

Evening,

For those of you fellow members with large dog.. what way do you safely recommend getting dog in passenger seat of 19 SR utility, standard height.. standard wheels height.. some kind of step that will fit on floor of passenger side after? No I don’t want him in bed.. my truck has no cab sliding window and he enjoys being next to me for the ride. Hopefully he won’t but probably will end up with hip displega eventually due to size and breed. So want to minimize his stress on body getting in and out while he is still middle age.

 

I had a smart dog that still made huge mistakes on ramps and hurt himself in later years.

Thats a big dog to be lifting everytime though, my kid is nearing 50lbs and I don't wanna lift him anymore.

 

Hmm.. wonder if anyone has used a heavy duty metal.. aluminum?? Step to get doggo in.. then place step in truck bed. Perhaps simialr to a RV step but free standing

 

You mean a step stool?

I bought my Golden Retriever one of these steps but he does not want to use it. I use it in my garage to reach things on high shelves.

On a side note, I have been giving him Cosequin tablets for the past couple years. Seems to be working because he is almost 10 years old and still wants to jump in and out of my Access Cab.

If your SR Utility has the rear seat delete, check out this thread if you think you might want to build a dog platform for the back.

Timely thread. Just put in an order for a Pet Loader Max with 5 steps. I'm hoping I measured right and it works. 100# Rhodesian Ridgeback.

A a young man, I kept Golden Retrievers. Great friends they all were.

But it got annoying getting some of them to "load UP" after they were about 5 years old.

I switched to Brittany Spaniels. They are not quite so "buddy Buddy", but they can get themselves just about anywhere!

I use a metal telescoping ramp. I believe we got it from petco. Here’s a pic from a couple days ago.
