Safety Guidelines for Your Dogs Workout
To ensure the safety and well-being of every dog, we recommend the following:
Preventing Bloat
Avoid feeding your dog a large meal at least 1-2 hours before exercise and 30 minutes after. This helps reduce the risk of gastric torsion (bloat), a serious condition in deep-chested breeds.
Proper Nail Care
Ensure your dog’s nails are trimmed before treadmill sessions to prevent slipping and discomfort.
Hydration and Eating Guidelines
Provide your dog with access to water before and after the session, but avoid excessive drinking right before exercise to prevent stomach discomfort.
Bathroom Breaks
Take your dog for a bathroom break before the session to ensure they are comfortable and focused on their workout.
Our Harness - Firepaw K9 Safety Harness
At Pawsitively Active, your dog’s safety is our top priority. That’s why we use the Firepaw Slatmill K9 Harness—a high-quality, padded harness specially designed for treadmill exercise. It offers full chest support without restricting movement, keeping your dog secure, comfortable, and properly aligned while running. Built for performance and safety, it helps prevent injury and allows your pup to train with confidence.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Pawsitively Active, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting a more sustainable future. Our operations are powered by the LDV eDeliver 7, a fully electric van that helps us significantly cut carbon emissions during travel. Additionally, we use a high-capacity EcoFlow electric generator supported by a 400W portable solar panel to power our air conditioning unit and essential onboard devices. By embracing clean energy and eco-conscious practices, we ensure that our services not only benefit dogs, but also contribute to a healthier planet. Whether we're parked in the city or out in nature, we strive to provide a top-tier dog fitness experience with minimal environmental impact.
