I’ll admit, my first reaction upon seeing this was to think “For real?” But the more I consider it the more I can see that it would be a useful contraption for those who live in areas where walking your dog (or making sure your dog is getting enough exercise, as opposed to just letting them loose in the backyard) for health reasons might not be terribly convenient, or for people who can’t get outside easily in the first place.
The DogTread treadmill by PetZen is actually a cute, miniature version of a regular-sized treadmill that you might use at the gym.
It’s got a bone-shaped monitor that faces outward (Fido doesn’t care what it says!) complete with easy to use controls, and actually runs quietly with a 90-volt dc/-1/2 HP motor. Other features include safety side panels that keep your dog contained, and the unit folds up so it’s not taking up a lot of space when not in use.
At $489 it’s not cheap, but if your dog has packed on a few extra pounds over the years and your vet has recommended exercise that you have a hard time fitting into a busy schedule, this might be worth looking into.
