Obesity is a big problem effecting lots of people, and even pets. The average person eats from 3000-4000 calories on Thanksgiving. Pets are mimicking their owners lifestyles by chowing down too. This doggie-treadmill should be on every pet's Christmas list. It would be great for those freezing days when it is just to cold to take us for a walk. You could set our treadmill up right next to yours so we can get some exercise too. Look, it even counts the steps. One problem, there are no good places to stop and take care of business on this walk!
