The lazy owner's guide to dog walking!?!

With obesity in humans on the rise, it seems we are now facing a similar increase in the number of porky pets as we share our unhealthy diet and aversion to exercise with our furry companions!?! It didn’t take long for someone to spot a niche in the market and so the Dog Walker Treadmill was born!?!

This doggy sized treadmill comes complete with castors so it can be moved around the house, while each side is protected with a shield to stop any accidents. The machine also sports a safety leash which prevents the dog from sliding off the rear of the treadmill or from sitting down on the job!?! It also comes with a remote control so you can vary the speed of your dogs walk from the comfort of your arm chair!?!

On a slightly more serious note, most dogs are actually under exercised, which is not good for stress relief or for releasing pent up energy if they have been cramped up in the house all day. Exercise will help your dog to maintain a healthy weight, keeps muscles and joints flexible and will help him to live longer and generally feel better.

Unfortunately, without you to lead the way your pet is unlikely to start running laps or doing sit ups in the near future!?! So, instead of buying him a doggy treadmill, why not burn a few calories together the old fashioned way and take him for a walk??
