Hey Abhay,
Another rainy morning here. I'll keep the Merck link thanks.
I still have ear problems with my black male. I haven't taken him to the other vet yet. Gonna try a few remedies from you guys first.
Have a good one.

Anyone ever try to dog treadmills on that link? I've tried a human treadmill with the dogs...they seem too short for the stride of a large dog.

Grand Carpet Mills. Yes these are very good mills. I am aquainted with the owners of the company and they are good people and very good at what they do. This mill is not motorized. Those who know how to condition a dog with treadmills know that there are 2 types of mills that are used. They each are used for different purposes. On this this type of mill the dog has to pull the belt a little harder making him work more. This mill will cause him to build more strength and muscle mass than a free running mill.
A free running mill can be either motorized or not. Either way it is more for the building up of the dogs stamina and fat burning rather than building muscle.
I guess you could liken it to equipment you may use at your local health club. The Grand Carpet Mill I would liken to a "Stair Stepper" and the Free Running Mill is more like your normal treadmill.

Can a dog "trot" on the Grand Carpet Mill or do they have to run?

Hey Sue!, Ram gave an excellent reply. The dog can walk, trot, or run. The Carpet Mill just offers more resistance. The Carpet Mill, will offer some anaerobic work and should be used for shorter periods, than the free spinning mill, used for its aerobic benefits.
