Featured in the February 2009 Pet Age Magizine as one for the Most exciting products of 2008 is the Pet Zen Treadmill.
Ranging from $299-$899 the PetZen Treadmill is collapsible for easy storage and seems to be fairly easy to use from their on line video demonstrations.
From the PetZen site:
Treadmill training can give a dog a great workout regardless of weather or environment, allowing owners to maintain a consistent exercise regimen. It provides increased muscle definition, toning, improves vitality, increases life span and can help curb destructive behavior or excess energy often associated with the lack of regular exercise. Keeping your pet healthy is a key ingredient to a happy pet. Patents Pending.
Looks like a great product, I do wonder about the durablity and strength of the construction?
Last week we talked about the 2008 Holofiber dog jacket also declared one of the most exciting products in 2008 and later this week we will blog about the rest of the winners!

It was only a matter of time before treadmills made specifically for dogs became available. Many dog owners simply teach their dogs to use human treadmills.
Is this Pet Zen treadmill any quieter? Why would a pet owner buy it as opposed to buying a lightly used treadmill at a great discount?
