What is a slatmill?
A slatmill is a non motorized Treadmill designed specifically for dogs. Your dog will be attached via their favorite walking harness (or we can provide one for you!) then the fun beings! Our staff is trained as well as equipped with multiple toys and treats to motivate your best friend and will apply resistance as needed. They will also make sure your dog gets plenty of water breaks and love! Some dogs are nervous at first but once they get the hang of it, they have a blast!
F.A.Q
We are here to answer any and all questions you may have, but here are some popular questions, just in case!
Are slatmills safe?
Yes! Our slatmills are non-motorized and self propelled by the dog. They are harnessed in and can run at their own pace. We can also increases resistance or stop the belt as needed. Your pup will also get plenty of water breaks.
What size dogs can the Power Pup work with?
We have two different sized slatmills that can take dogs ranging from 15 - 150 pounds. We do require that your dog be at least 4 months old and up to date on all their vaccines.
How do I prepare my dog for a workout?
We ask that you stop feeding your dog at least 1 hour before their workout and let them go potty 15 minutes before. All you need to for their run is their favorite walking harness. If you don't have one we will provide one of ours.
