What you put on the ramp wont make a bit of difference to the
raccoon, kitty cat, or heron. They will gladly accept anything...
hehehehe

I guess what I meant was...the ramp is intended to encourage other life like
frogs, small birds, lizards, whatever...is it a bad idea to have it all?
Does anyone have one and enjoy it?

The wild life I've seen around my pond has no problems dealing with a
rock edge (2" patio stone overhang), or a vertical edge.

Yes birds will prefer a shallow area to bathe in. Depending on the
species, what height above ground.

The fish would like to be able to get away from a predator.
