Dog Trotter USA Sizing Guide

Measure Your Dogs stride length

Sizing is based on stride length, not just weight alone

Choosing The Right Size

Choosing the right dog treadmill size is essential for your dog’s safety, comfort, and performance. While weight can be a helpful guideline, stride length is often the most important factor when selecting the correct Dog Trotter.

Your dog should be able to run comfortably within the full length of the running surface without shortening their stride or adjusting their natural movement.

When your dog can move naturally, they stay safer, run stronger, and get the most out of every workout. Overall length of the treadmills will depend on the model, however, running space will remain consistent. 

Sizing Tip

If your dog is between sizes, we typically recommend sizing up to ensure maximum comfort and performance
