The dog ramp from all Pets United® was delivered in a neutral and sufficiently large box that was easy to open without the need for tools. The product was well protected and arrived without scratches or dirt , which speaks for effective product protection. Inside the box was the dog ramp. The product packaging was compact and there was no unnecessary packaging waste. However, the packaging was not sustainable, as the dog ramp was packed in a plastic bag. Instructions for use were not required.
