Did you know nearly half of Aussie homes have a dog? That’s over six million furry mates jumping in and out of utes, onto beds and couches, and ageing right alongside us.

But here’s the catch: most dog ramps aren't designed for the way we live. They're built for different lifestyles, climates, and smaller pets — not the rugged, sun-drenched Aussie way of life.

At Ramp Champ, we live it. We understand Australian dogs, Australian homes, and Australian vehicles — and that’s exactly what inspired the creation of our Heeve dog ramps, designed right here in Australia.

These ramps are tough. Safe. Smart. Purpose-built by Aussies who truly understand what our furry mates need.

Here’s why choosing a Heeve Australian-designed dog ramp is the best move you can make for your pet.

What Makes Heeve Ramps Truly Australian-Designed?

The Heeve Up-Ya-Get dog ramps aren't just adapted — they're created from the ground up for real Aussie conditions.

Here's how:

1. Built to Withstand Aussie Weather

From scorching summers to sideways rain, your outdoor dog ramp needs to handle it all. We use UV-resistant materials, anti-slip surfaces, and weatherproof finishes that won’t warp, crack or fade — no matter where you store them.

2. Made for Aussie Vehicles

Taller utes, SUVs, and vans are everyday vehicles here. We design these ramps to match, giving you longer, safer ramps your dog will confidently climb.

3. Strong, Stable, & Safe

Whether your dog weighs 5kg or 50kg, stability is non-negotiable. Heeve ramps feature wide bases, solid frames, and generous weight capacities to keep every paw steady, even on tiles, decks, or wet grass.

4. Designed By Locals Who Live It

It’s not just about materials. It’s about living the Aussie lifestyle and knowing exactly how our dogs move and live — on tiled floors, outdoor decks, caravan steps, and backyard adventures.

5. Tested by Aussie Dogs (and Their Humans)

We don’t just theorise. These ramps are tested and trusted by thousands of Aussie dogs, from city Dachshunds to farm Retrievers. And guess what? They’re still going strong.

Here’s a look at what a few of our customers have to say about their Heeve ramps:

What “Australian-Designed” Really Means (And Why it Matters)

We hear the phrase “Australian-designed” tossed around a lot. But for us, it's more than a label.

True Aussie design means it was imagined, tested, and refined here, with Australian pets and Australian conditions front of mind.

What sets Heeve ramps apart?

  • Purpose-built for Aussie climates — not just adapted or rebadged
  • Tested with real dogs in real Aussie homes, cars and clinics
  • Multi-channel support — contact us via email, chat, phone, or SMS
  • Designed with direct feedback from Australian pet owners

That’s why our Heeve ‘Up-Ya-Get’ dog ramps stand out — not just as Australian-designed, but as Australia’s most trusted dog ramps. They're shaped by years of real feedback and tested against the demands of everyday Aussie life.

How to Pick the Right Ramp for Your Dog

Not every ramp suits every dog — or every setup. The right choice depends on your dog’s size, their mobility, and where they need help getting up or down.

Before you buy, ask yourself…

1. Where will I use it?

  • Car? Look for foldable or telescopic designs that are easy to pack away.
  • Bed or couch?  Choose an adjustable height with a non-slip grip.
  • Outdoors? Go for weatherproof materials that won’t rust or crack in the sun.

2. How big is my dog?

  • Always check the weight limits. A ramp made for a 10kg terrier might not hold a 35kg retriever. 
  • Bigger dogs = wider, sturdier ramps for confidence and safety.

3. What’s their mobility like?

  • Older or arthritic dogs? Go for gentle incline and secure footing.

4. Do I need to store or move it?

  • Go for a foldable or telescopic model that’s easy to carry and store if its on-the-go. 
  • Fixed and stylish ramp if it stays in one spot.

5. Build Quality

  • The best dog ramps are strong, light, and simple to use. No fiddly locks or cheap materials.
  • Look for features like anti-slip grip, sturdy feet, and a reliable folding mechanism.
