The joke of the day: a treadmill for dogs

Written on January 6, 2009 – 10:02 am | by Maria Mihale |

Pet owners from all over the place, hear me out! Your problems concerning the physical shape of your Golden Retriever or Dalmatian or whatever dog breed you might own are over! Because, if you have never thought of a treadmill for dogs, be happy to know that such a thing isn’t just the product of my imagination or, in the worst case, a bad joke. It sounds funny, I know it does, but it’s the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help me God!



I must confess that a fitness equipment for pets would have never crossed my mind, and not because I lack imagination, but because this is somehow unbelievable and very hard to conceive. However, a discerning pet owner knows very well what’s new on the market and doesn’t spare any effort in order to make his little creature the happiest on earth.

You know that precisely like a human being, your dog needs to exercise if you want him to live a healthy life, but you’re conscious about the fact that this is an impossible mission for you, because you’re one of the laziest people around. You don’t have the energy to walk a couple of steps to the shop from around the corner, to buy yourself something to eat, so walking your dog is probably a terrible burden that you can’t abide no matter what.



You pretend you love your dog, but when it comes to prolong its life, you say that you’re too tired or busy. Therefore, the Canine Treadmill is the perfect solution for those who own a dog and find themselves between the horns of this dilemma, providing them with a means that keeps a consistent level of exercise. And the best part is that you can do this whenever you like, even if the weather conditions aren’t adequate for such activities.

The side rails are meant to keep your dog attentive, while the sturdy rubber belt has a soft touch on paws. If you’re not convinced that the Canine Treadmill is what the doctor ordered for your dog, think about the 45 minutes of moderate activity that your pet will benefit and the great effects on its health. In addition, this treadmill for dogs is equipped with a safety on/off switch and with simple controls that gives you the possibility to adjust speed, distance and incline according to your dog’s preferences.

More than that, the treadmill is available in three sizes priced from $549 to $900 and it can be purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer.
