INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Zoomie Squad is redefining dog fitness in Hamilton County, Indiana, with its first-ever mobile dog gym – a climate-controlled van equipped with a dog-powered treadmill, known as a slatmill, that comes directly to your home
This innovative service offers physical exercise, mental stimulation and confidence building for dogs in a safe, distraction-free environment

Each session begins with a gentle introduction. Dogs get time to explore the van at their own pace with plenty of sniffing to settle in. Initially, pups walk on the stationary treadmill to get comfortable before being harnessed safely and clipped both front and back to ensure secure movement
Zoomie Squad’s approach allows dogs to control the treadmill’s speed and movement themselves. Some dogs may prefer a faster pace, while others choose a comfortable walk. Each session adjusts to match the individual dog’s needs and activity level
This service is especially valuable for dogs who face challenges exercising outdoors. Reactive dogs – whether sensitive to other dogs or people – can safely engage in vigorous activity without encountering triggers
The mobile gym also serves working dogs, those recovering from injury and dogs on weight loss plans under veterinary supervision. For some dogs, Zoomie Squad offers the only truly safe place where they can run freely

Exercise is essential year-round, and the squad’s climate-controlled van ensures dogs get the physical and mental stimulation they need regardless of weather
Unlike simple sniff walks, a 30-minute session on the slatmill provides the equivalent energy burn of a two-hour outdoor walk, engaging the whole body more effectively
This is especially important during hot summer days when pavement can burn paws, or in cold winter months when outdoor activity is limited
