Dogs love being by our side — whether that means curling up on the couch, hopping into the car for an adventure, or climbing into bed for their favorite nap spot. But sometimes, getting to those places isn’t as easy as it used to be. Maybe your dog hesitates before jumping, needs a little extra encouragement, or flat-out refuses to make the leap. At Pet HealthWorks, we know how important it is to keep your dog moving comfortably, no matter their age or size. A simple DIY dog ramp can make a huge difference, giving them safe and easy access to their favorite spots without the struggle. And the best part? You don’t need to be a professional builder to make one. Let’s walk through everything you need to know — from why a ramp might be the perfect solution to a step-by-step guide on building one that’s sturdy, safe, and just right for your pup. Why Would Your Dog Need a Ramp? A dog ramp is a sloped platform designed to help dogs move between different heights safely. It can be made from wood, plastic, or metal and often includes a non-slip surface for better traction. Some ramps are foldable for easy storage, while others are built as permanent fixtures. So why would a dog need one? Here are some of the most common reasons: Senior Dogs Who Are Slowing Down Getting older comes with a few challenges, and for dogs, that often means stiffer joints and less flexibility. If your dog hesitates before climbing onto their favorite spot, moves more carefully than they used to, or takes longer to stand up, a ramp can help them stay mobile without discomfort. Small Breeds With Big Obstacles For dogs with short legs and long bodies, every raised surface is a hurdle. Breeds like Dachshunds, Corgis, and French Bulldogs weren’t exactly built for climbing, and launching themselves up and down all day can put unnecessary stress on their joints. A ramp makes things easier on their bodies now and helps prevent mobility issues later. Dogs Recovering From Surgery or Injury When a dog is healing, the last thing they need is unnecessary strain on their muscles and joints. Whether they’re bouncing back from surgery or recovering from a minor sprain, a ramp helps them safely move while they heal. Preventing Long-Term Wear and Tear Even if your dog has no trouble getting around now, constant impact takes a toll over time. Large breeds and dogs prone to mobility issues — like Golden Retrievers, Labs, and German Shepherds — can benefit from reducing strain early. A ramp helps protect their joints, keeping them moving comfortably for years to come. How To Build a DIY Dog Ramp While you can buy a dog ramp at the store, they’re not always budget-friendly — and depending on the size and material, they may not even be the best fit for your dog. Fortunately, building your own is completely doable, even if you’re not a seasoned DIYer. With just a few materials and simple steps, you can create a sturdy, safe ramp that fits your space and your dog’s needs. Here’s how: Materials You’ll Need Before you get started, gather these supplies: Wood planks or plywood (for the base) Non-slip surface (carpet, rubber matting, or grip tape) Screws, nails, or wood glue (to secure everything) Hinges (if making a foldable ramp) Measuring tape & saw (for cutting to size) Drill or screwdriver (for assembly) Once you have everything, it’s time to build! Step 1: Measure & Cut the Ramp Base The length of the ramp depends on where you’re placing it. A longer ramp creates a gentler incline, which is easier on your dog’s joints. As a general rule: For lower surfaces, 3-4 feet should be enough. For higher surfaces, 5-6 feet helps keep the angle gradual. Cut your wood plank to the appropriate length, making sure the width is wide enough for your dog to walk on comfortably. Step 2: Attach Side Supports (Optional but Recommended) If your dog is older or hesitant about new things, adding side rails can make them feel more secure. Cut small wooden strips to attach along the edges of the ramp to prevent slipping off the sides. Step 3: Add a Non-Slip Surface A smooth wooden ramp can be slippery, which isn’t ideal for dogs — especially those with mobility issues. Covering the surface with carpet, rubber matting, or grip tape gives them better traction and prevents accidents. Use strong adhesive or a staple gun to secure the material in place. Step 4: Secure the Ramp in Place If you’re making a ramp for a couch, bed, or car, you’ll want to anchor it securely so it doesn’t slide around. You can: Attach it directly to furniture using brackets. Use non-slip pads on the bottom to prevent movement. Install hinges if you want a foldable, portable ramp. Once it’s set up, test it out yourself — if it holds your weight, it’ll hold your dog’s! What Else Can You Do To Keep Your Dog’s Joints Healthy? Building a ramp is a great way to protect your dog’s joints — but it’s not the only thing that helps. Daily movement, the right diet, and proactive joint care all make a difference in how they feel and move. Low-impact exercise, like leash walks and swimming, helps strengthen muscles without adding unnecessary strain. A diet rich in omega fatty acids supports joint function, and keeping your dog at a healthy weight reduces extra pressure on their joints. For added support, joint supplements for dogs are a smart choice. Backed by 40 years of research and four double-blind clinical trials, Antinol® Plus is clinically proven to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and work faster than glucosamine and chondroitin. With its patented blend of green-lipped mussel oil and Antarctic krill oil, Antinol® Plus helps dogs stay active, comfortable, and ready for whatever comes next. A Final Word At Pet HealthWorks, we know how important it is to keep dogs moving comfortably, no matter their age or size. A DIY dog ramp is a great way to make daily movement easier, whether your dog is recovering, slowing down, or just needs a little extra support. But ramps are just one piece of the puzzle. Regular movement, the right diet, and proactive joint care all help dogs stay active and comfortable. That’s why we’re committed to providing science-backed solutions that support mobility and long-term health. Want to help your dog move with ease? Check out Antinol® Plus for Dogs today!
