You can now buy a treadmill specifically designed for dogs, like the Total Pet Health Exercising Dog Treadmill. As people work longer hours, live in places that don't allow them to exercise their dogs, and their dogs become overweight, more and more people are turning to treadmills designed specifically for dogs. (Be sure to use the ones designed for dogs as using treadmills designed for people may injure your dog.)
Just keep in mind that dogs love other types of exercise like walks and playing catch. So while a doggie treadmill might be necessary to keep them in shape given your lifestyle, if at all possible let them exercise in a way that they consider fun, not work! (Just wish I loved walking and playing catch as much as they do!)

If the novelty of walking your dog is wearing off, or you hate walking your pooch during winter months, then you really need to find an alternative that will give your pet the exercise he needs. Nothing can replace a good walk and play time with other dogs. However, dog treadmills can be a great gift for your dog to tire him or her out on cold winter days.
