Speedy Paws LLC FAQs 🐾
Thinking about booking a run? Here are some of the most common questions!
How old does my dog need to be?
For safety, puppies should generally be at least 12 months old before participating in slatmill sessions. Large and giant breeds may need to wait a bit longer, as their growth plates close later.
When should my dog eat before or after a run?
To help reduce the risk of stomach upset or bloat, avoid feeding a full meal within one hour before or after exercise.
Can my dog drink water after a run?
Absolutely! Offer small amounts of water right away, then allow them to drink more once they've had a few minutes to cool down.
Will my dog get the zoomies afterward?
Possibly! Some dogs are energized immediately after a run, while others are ready for a long nap. Both are completely normal.
How long will my dog sleep after a session?
Many dogs are pleasantly tired and may rest for several hours, though every dog is different.
What vaccinations are required?
All dogs must be current on their Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations before their first session.
What if my dog is reactive or doesn't like other dogs?
That's perfectly okay! Speedy Paws LLC specializes in one-on-one exercise in a secure, controlled environment.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are scheduled for 30 minutes, but the actual running time may vary depending on your dog's age, fitness level, experience, and comfort. Safety always comes first.
What should I bring to my dog's first appointment?
Just your dog, a properly fitted collar or harness, and proof of current vaccinations.
How often should my dog run?
That depends on your dog's age, breed, energy level, and fitness goals. We'll work together to determine the best schedule.
Are there breed restrictions?
At this time, Speedy Paws LLC is not accepting brachycephalic breeds, including Pugs, Bulldogs, and other breeds with similar facial structures. These dogs can face increased respiratory and heat-related risks during exercise, and I want to ensure every dog's safety. As Speedy Paws continues to grow and I gain more experience, this policy may be revisited in the future. Thank you for your understanding.
