The Most Useless Gadget For Most People

At just under $500, $700 or $900 for small, medium and large size dogs respectively, this treadmill is the perfect gift for the lazy, slovenly couch potato.  This product is guaranteed to put tens of pounds of fat upon their bones while maintaining their dog’s health.

Advertised for “…a Regular Exercise Routine for your Best Friend. A dog exercise treadmill can give a dog a great workout regardless of weather or environment, allowing owners to maintain a consistent exercise regimen…’ this gadget does not induce the owner to “maintain a consistent exercise” routine for themselves.

Get up off your butt, put on your tunes and take out the dog while struttin’ to Rufus Thomas’ Walkin’ the Dog in style.  If you make it fun, both you and the dog will be happier.  Also, the dog will not get attached to the machine and ignore you except at breakfast and dinner.

Ok, ok, ok!  I hear you out there already cursing me and claiming that I am not being sensitive to the world around me.  Well, I was fat once, but since my Lab Diet, I have lost 35 pounds so far.

Ok, Ok, Ok!!!  I know some people might have metabolism problems; they should see a doctor.

I do see many uses for this product.  People who are physically unable to walk or ride and have a dog could make sure that pooch gets the proper exercise.  This gadget is a blessing to them.

That said, the DogTread by PetZen could just join the “evil” products like soda and potato chips if the Health Police look at it.  Alternatively, just put it behind the counter at the drug store and require a doctor’s prescription, just like you have to do for the cold medicine that really works.
