About PortablePet
It's a lot of fun to travel with your dog, but sometimes it can also be frustrating. Everybody loves their canine friend, but protecting your car and keeping your pet from distracting you can be more trouble than it's worth. Enter PortablePET, a division of Heininger Holdings, LLC, a company who has made a mission out of finding practical solutions to everyday traveling hassles.
What it comes down to is foresight, which PortablePET has in spades. Stating its ultimate goal as providing "travel products for pets on-the-go", the PortablePET brand takes not only your perspective, but also your animal's, into account when designing products. It might be uncomfortable for a dog to leap into and then jump out of taller SUVs, so the Twistep SUV Pet Step deals with this exact issue. Similarly, how to keep your animal where you need it to be so you can safely operate your vehicle? The Pet Partition gives your dog the freedom of movement in your SUV's rear cargo area without allowing it to disrupt the safe navigation of your vehicle.
It's all about putting the customers and their pets first. PortablePET's products try to do exactly that, and are among the industry's most convenient and practical for this exact reason.

PortablePET Twistep SUV Pet Step

These are great to have for dogs getting in/out of an SUV. It saves on their joints and you don’t have to lug around a portable ramp in your car. I’ve had one of these Twist Steps for over 10 years and this purchase is to replace the one that I have once the winter is over. The older one is starting to become difficult to twist after many years of sand and salt during the winter.

This step is a life saver for loading my Great Dane into my Jeep, after struggling with a bulky “portable” ramp. Thank you!

The Twistep was very easy (& quick!) to install on our Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk; we didn't even need an extension bracket. Auto Accessories Garage was great to deal with: their pricing was far better than anyone else and their shipping was faster.

I LOVE this step for my dogs! It is really an awesome product. So awesome, I bought two and keep one as a spare or if I get another vehicle. It's wide enough for the dogs to feel comfortable. It's low enough for my old guys to be able to navigate it. Sturdy enough for my big dogs. Fits the car perfect with no low hang. It is so much better than I even guessed it could be. I use it all the time. I have a Honda Pilot and lifting in heavy dogs is really hard, so this makes it possible for my old dogs to not have to jump and for me not to have to lift in my puppies. I love this product! Worth every penny.

I've used the Twistep on a number of vehicles. I have two of the new style and it's much improved over the older version. My rescued Golden Retriever is 10+ years old and the Twistep makes it much easier for him to get into my Jeep Wrangler or Chevy Tahoe. If you've got a hitch receiver on your vehicle installation takes a few minutes and the adjustable height means it will fit almost all vehicles. I had to drop down one increment to clear the Jeep gas tank. My dog learned to use this quickly, with a couple of treats to reward he mastered using it easily.
