What is a Slatmill?
A slatmill is a free spinning treadmill designed specifically for dogs. This means that the dog has full control over the workout; They choose how fast to move, when to slow down and can even stop the workout all on their own. Slatmills provide a cardio workout that promotes endurance, stamina and lean muscle.
Benefits of a Slatmill
Slatmills provide a no-excuse solution to exercising your dog. Some of the benefits of a slatmill include:
-
Give your dog the exercise that they need regardless of hectic work schedules, poor weather, physical limitations etc.
-
Provides a rigorous exercise for high energy and high drive breeds.
-
Safer alternative than using an electric treadmill. Slatmills are designed with canine anatomy in mind and are controlled by the dog. Your dog can move naturally and slow down/recover when they need to versus their owner controlling the speed/controls of an electric treadmill.
-
Regular exercise helps mitigate the risk of injury. Working and sporting dogs have a much less chance of injuring themselves at work, or in competition when they're in good physical condition.
