Abstract
A folding pet ramp and step apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a frame supporting an upper platform member and a lower platform member. The lower platform member has a lower riser and a lower runner. The upper platform member has an upper riser and an upper runner which are movable between a ramp mode and a step mode. The upper riser fixedly supports the upper runner against the frame when in the step mode, and is moveable from the fixedly supported position to permit the upper runner to move to the ramp mode.
