Secondly, elderly pets that have difficulty walking only have to go as far as the treadmill to get daily exercise. Thirdly, elderly pet owners often can’t do the distances themselves to give their pets the exercise they need. Yes. A doggie treadmill can be a win-win. Photo courtesy Petzen
Cats and dogs, just like children, like a schedule in their lives. Do your best to schedule meal times, walks for your dog and indoor game times for both cats and dogs.
