FAQ’s

What is a Slatmill?

A Slatmill is a non powered treadmill specifically designed for dogs! Since it is self powered, your dog gets to decide how fast they want to go! They are harnessed in and secure.

How is this different than walking my dog?

You dog isn’t restricted at all. They can go as fast as they want! Many have a burst of zoomies in the beginning and are totally exhausted at the end of it! Imagine how long you’d have to throw the ball to get that kind of energy out! Not to mention it is safe, secure. dry, climate controlled, and great for reactive or anxious dogs!

What if I have an older dog, will this benefit them?

As they age their joints become less stabilized. After working with them their joints will become stronger and they will walk with more confidence and pep in their step!

Hours and Service area

Monday-Friday 8AM- 6PM   Will take special requests for Sunday if needed! We will be servicing most of Pierce County (We are stationed in Sumner)

What can I expect during my dog’s session?

We are there to monitor your dog’s safety and to customize each run for their needs. Your dog controls the speed of our self-propelled Slatmill, and we will encourage your dogs to move. They do the work. Think of this as a fun run. Feel free to bring your dog’s favorite toy. You are welcome to help or watch the entire time. We will stop your dog for water as they may need.

What can I expect after my dogs session?

You can expect your dog to be tired. They may be pancaked out on the floor. You should wait until they are relaxed and calmed down to give them their next feeding. Your dog may also have extra zoomies after their session. They just had a good dose of endorphines! If your dog is older, a massage of their hind legs will help prevent soreness. If you don’t have your next session scheduled, email us to schedule your next appointment!

How long does it take my dog to learn how to use a Slatmill?

Every dog has their own learning curve but most learn within the first 5-10 mins! We will take our time with this in the beginning, as you never know how they will react but typically it is pawsitive! We will give them lots of encouragement and treats! (We will have multiple options but let us know if they have any dietary restrictions)
