Some of you might own an active dog that simply needs to let off its energy. Without doing so, the consequences might be dire for you. They might tear up the furniture, make a mess at home or even decide to take off when you open the door. It will be good for you to have regular exercises with your dog. The question is, what happens when the weather doesn’t permit you to bring your dog for its regular exercises? Should we simply just stop exercising them? Not exactly! You can purchase a Dog Treadmill that allows you to exercise your dog indoors, and safely too!
Dog Treadmills have been in the market for quite sometime, but they have only gained prominence in recent years. There are several models available these days, but we have specifically chosen to review the PetZen DogTread.
Update: This model seems to be discontinued on Amazon.
PetZen Dog Treadmill
The PetZen Dog Treadmill is specifically designed to accommodate large dogs up to 150 pounds. This large DogTread is the perfect dog treadmill for all breeds too. It allows your dog to run freely on the treadmill, but of course at a setting that is decided by you.
The long running surface of this DogTread allows your dog to walk while you correct its gait. Do note that dog treadmills are not for replacing exercising outdoors. It it meant as a substitute when the weather is bad. Dog treadmills are also used to rehabilitate animals, or to perfect their gait.
The PetZen Dog Treadmill is built with a motor that produces a soft-whisper-like whirling sound that is barely audible to us. It too comes with a remote control and comprehensive Premium K9 Fitness Kit Programs for the ultimate dog treadmill training experience . The PetZen Dog Treadmill is safe for first timers too as the Fitness Kit Programs helps to ease your dog into the entire dog treadmill experience.
For more experienced dog who have used dog treadmills before, there is a build-in manual incline that allows the owner to provide training flexibility for your dog. We always recommend owners to slowly ease their dog into using the treadmills, regardless whether they are experienced or not.
Do note that there is a lifetime warranty for the frame of the dog treadmill. Also, the side bars of the dog treadmill can be raised to prevent your dog from falling off the system.
