Guest guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I have a jog a dog and a human treadmill--I really do not use the Jog a dog much except for conditioning. I use the human land treadmill more often and purchased it from a garage sale! If I were to do it again I would not purchase the Jog a Dog Janice Huntingford Essex Animal Hospital Canine Rehab and Fitness Essex Ontario ---- Original Message ---- To: VetRehab Sent: Mon, Dec 6, 2010 1:31 am Subject: human land treadmill > > quick question for those of you who are using a treadmill made for humans for your canine patients... any advice on what to buy?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 i have two land human treadmills, both are too short...so now i am looking into buying a dog one....the problem with the human ones is they start too fast and jerks the dogs, also it is quite costly to find a treadmill with a long belt (72 " ) that will fit all size dogs. you may be able to find one on kijji but i have been looking for a while with no luck. tania CCRP, VT, CAAP, CMT > > quick question for those of you who are using a treadmill made for humans for your canine patients... any advice on what to buy?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I have been using the Gopet treadmill. I believe it is 71 " long. We have a jog a dog but it is almost impossib;le for one person to change the incline or move it by themselves. This one is easy for 1 person use. They also have small units for home use that are realistically priced for someone to have at home. Of course, the belt still doesn't reverse. > > i have two land human treadmills, both are too short...so now i am looking into buying a dog one....the problem with the human ones is they start too fast and jerks the dogs, also it is quite costly to find a treadmill with a long belt (72 " ) that will fit all size dogs. you may be able to find one on kijji but i have been looking for a while with no luck. > tania > CCRP, VT, CAAP, CMT > > > > > quick question for those of you who are using a treadmill made for humans for your canine patients... any advice on what to buy?
