Shapely mutts

18 September 1999

Dog lovers too lazy to take their pooches for a walk can now put their feet
up while the animals exercise on a special doggie treadmill made in Japan.
Called the Dog Promenade, it comes in three sizes and can be set to different
speeds and distances. A sensor checks the dog’s pace and adjusts the machine if
it speeds up or slows down. The treadmill, from Sunaga Impulse, costs between
£1600 and £2900.
