A climbing aid with room to hide
The ramp's gradual incline is designed to protect joints and help aging pets reach furniture without jumping. Cats can also use the enclosed space below as a retreat. Costco describes that hideaway as cozy and stable, offering pets a sense of security.
The unit measures 31.3 by 18.9 by 17.5 inches and supports pets weighing up to 30 pounds. The furniture itself weighs just over 56 pounds and remains in place even when an energetic young cat runs onto it. When it is not being used as a ramp, it folds into a pet stool.
Some pets may need time to become comfortable with it. A cat might explore the den before trying the slope, while a reluctant dog may need encouragement. Offering a favorite treat at the base lets pets begin investigating at their own pace.

Aging pets and demand for mobility aids
Value Market Research identifies aging pets as a key source of demand for ramps. Citing veterinary provider AniCura, the firm reports that senior animals account for 31% of dogs and 33% of cats in Europe.
The research firm also points to pet obesity as a driver of demand for mobility products. It cites a 2022 Association for Pet Obesity Prevention study that classified 59% of U.S. dogs and 61% of U.S. cats as overweight or obese.
For pet ramps specifically, Value Market Research expects the cat segment to grow fastest during its forecast period. The firm attributes that outlook to increased cat adoption and mobility problems associated with arthritis, obesity and neurological disorders.
The firm estimates that the global pet ramp market was worth $175.78 million in 2025 and projects it will reach $275.51 million by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.12% over 2026-2034. North America has the largest regional share.
Ramps are also part of the broader pet mobility aids market, which includes wheelchairs, braces, slings, steps and prosthetics. Value Market Research values that market at $2.12 billion in 2025 and forecasts $3.99 billion by 2034, representing a 7.28% compound annual growth rate. North America accounted for 41.79% of the market in 2025. By pet type, the firm projects the fastest growth for cats, at a compound annual rate of 6.73%.
