The treadmill

Treadmills provide a complete muscle enhancing, toning and fitness regime that not only improves the overall health and vitality of a dog, it helps curb destructive behaviour problems, increases life span and prevents obesity.

Veterinary Surgeons, professional breeders, showing industry and owners have been using the dog treadmill for a wide variety of exercise purposes, particularly using it for the controlled and safe environment during rehabilitation post-operatively. 

Professional breeders use the treadmill for show ring practice and gait analysis, so their dogs are in top show condition. Dogs are often put on a dog treadmill to have their gaits analysed, so by practicing the gait on a regular basis you can analyse and improve a dog’s chance of winning.

Vets have been using the treadmill to refine post-operative rehabilitation and have found the results dramatically improve the rate of recovery., under controlled conditions, of both medical and surgical operations. This has dramatically improved the rate of recovery and the end result.

The dog treadmill is highly effective for any type of sporting dog as it is ideal to continue the fitness programme when the weather outside is not permitting. This enables you to maintain fitness to high levels. Dogs competing in Agility and Working Trials or Racing really benefit from the treadmills as they keep their muscles so toned, which helps to prevent injuries from such demanding sporting events.
