Are Treadmills Good for Dogs?
Treadmills and treadwheels are no match for outdoor exercise – even for your dog.
Whenever you take your dog for a walk or run, play ball in the park, etc., the activity engages his mind and his senses. He sees and hears new things around him, smells the entire universe that we can’t even comprehend, interacts with other dogs, and more. The mental stimulation that comes from getting away from the familiarity of home and into a new environment is also as important as a good exercise.
