Slatmill Sessions in West Seattle
Add focused exercise to your dog’s stay with our boarding slatmill workouts in West Seattle—a structured way to burn energy, build strength, and stay happy during overnight visits.
Structured Fitness During Overnight Boarding
At DogCity West Seattle, we believe dogs need both mental and physical stimulation—even while boarding. That’s why we offer slatmill exercise sessions as an add-on to overnight stays. A slatmill is a dog-powered treadmill that lets pups walk or run at their own pace, improving stamina, focus, and muscle tone. These controlled, one-on-one workouts are perfect for active dogs, working breeds, or any pup who benefits from extra movement beyond group play. It’s the ideal way to keep your dog balanced, engaged, and healthy while you’re away.
What to Expect from a Boarding Slatmill Session
Each slatmill session during your dog’s boarding stay is customized for their energy level, fitness, and comfort. Sessions are conducted one-on-one in a quiet, distraction-free space within our facility, supervised by a trained DogCity handler.
We start with a short warm-up and gentle introduction (especially for new users), helping your pup get comfortable with the equipment. Most dogs quickly learn that they’re in control of the pace—no motors, no pressure, just a natural rhythm driven by their own movement.
Once ready, your dog will walk or trot on the slatmill for about 10–15 minutes, with regular breaks, encouragement, and plenty of hydration. The slatmill’s design supports a full range of motion, building muscle and burning energy without the risk of joint stress or overexertion.
These sessions are a fantastic outlet for dogs who have extra drive, need structure, or get restless after hours of social play. For reactive or leash-sensitive pups, slatmill workouts are also a great alternative to outdoor walks.
Because these sessions are offered during your dog’s overnight stay, we time them around meals, rest periods, and playgroup activities—ensuring your dog is mentally and physically enriched without being overstimulated.
Each session is logged by our team, and we’re happy to provide updates on how your dog performed during their workout.
Pricing Information
Slatmill workouts can be added to any overnight boarding stay for just $30 per session. If you’d like your pup to get multiple workouts during their stay, we offer multi-session bundles at discounted rates.
Add-on sessions are tailored to your dog’s needs and can be requested during booking or added anytime during their stay. First-time users may require a short slatmill intro (included in the price) to ensure a positive experience.
