Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is Ready, Set, Zoomies! Mobile Dog Gym?2026-08-14T21:21:51+00:00

We’re Florida’s first climate-controlled mobile dog gym that comes to YOU. Our custom trailer is always 72°F COOL with a professional Firepaw slatmill (dog-powered, no motor) so your dog can sprint safely at their own pace right in your driveway. 30 minutes = the exercise of a 5-mile walk, without the heat, traffic, or mud.

2. Is a slatmill safe? Is it the same as a treadmill?2026-08-14T21:24:18+00:00

Safer than a treadmill – and that’s why we chose it. A slatmill is 100% dog-powered: your dog controls the speed, can stop anytime, and there’s no electric motor dragging them. No cord, no forced speed, no shock risk. It’s the same equipment used by canine athletes and rehabilitation vets. We supervise every second.

3. My dog has never done this before. Will they like it?2026-08-14T22:07:34+00:00

99% do! We do a slow, positive introduction with treats, toys, and lots of praise. Most dogs figure it out in 2-3 minutes and start prancing. If your dog is nervous, we never force it – we can easily do another discounted  intro session until your dog gets it. Luna, our German Shepherd service dog and mascot, is our official demo girl!

4. How long is a session and how much exercise does my dog really get?2026-08-14T22:08:42+00:00

Sessions are 30 minutes door-to-door (about 15-20 mins of actual running). Because it’s full sprinting, not sniff-and-stroll walking, it burns 3-5x more energy than a regular walk. Most dogs go home, drink water, and nap for hours – goodbye evening zoomies, hello quiet and peaceful house!

5. Is it too hot inside the mobile gym in Florida?2026-08-14T22:11:14+00:00

Never. That’s the whole point. Our trailer has a commercial AC unit that stays at 72°F, white walls with teal trim to reflect heat, and non-slip cool floors. Your dog is safer running in here in August than in your backyard at noon. We also monitor temperature, provide water breaks, and stop if they pant too hard.

6. What dogs can use it? Any breed, size, or age?2026-08-14T22:11:52+00:00

Almost all! From 8 lb Chihuahuas to 120 lb German Shepherds, from high-energy puppies (over 12 months) to active seniors. We adjust for size and fitness level. We don’t recommend it for dogs with severe joint injuries, heart conditions, or under vet exercise restriction – just check with your vet first. Flat-faced breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs are welcome with extra cool-down breaks.

7. Do you offer water or recovery drinks?2026-08-14T22:13:57+00:00

Absolutely! Hydration is priority #1. Every session includes fresh water AND for an extra small charge pups’ favorite – beef-flavored electrolyte drinks for recovery. Dogs go absolutely crazy for the taste, and it helps them rehydrate fast, replace lost minerals, and bounce back quicker after their zoomie session. It’s like a doggy sports drink, but way tastier.

8. How much does it cost and do you have packages?2026-08-14T22:14:27+00:00

Single sessions start at $45, but most parents get our Zoomie Packs: 4 sessions for $160 ($40 ea) or 8 sessions for $280 ($35 ea). We bring the gym to you, so no travel fees inside our service area (Lake Buena Vista, Celebration, Davenport, and surrounding). Memberships with weekly visits are our most popular.

9. Do I need to stay and watch?2026-08-14T22:14:54+00:00

You can watch from our observation window or relax inside! Many owners love watching their dog’s confidence grow. You’re welcome to stay in the AC or step inside your house – we’re fully insured, pet-first-aid certified, and your dog is never left alone on the mill.

10. Will this help with weight, anxiety, or destructive behavior?2026-08-14T22:15:20+00:00

Yes – that’s why vets refer to us. More than 1 in 5 dogs is overweight because walks alone don’t burn enough. Regular slatmill sprints plus our post-run beef electrolyte recovery help with weight management, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, and those 8pm couch zoomies. It’s physical AND mental enrichment – a tired, happily hydrated dog is a well-behaved dog.

11. How do I book and what do I need to bring?2026-08-14T22:16:12+00:00

Booking is easy on readysetzoomies.com or DM us @readysetzoomies. Just bring your dog on a flat collar or harness, bring proof of vaccines (Rabies, DHPP), and we handle the rest – water, beef electrolyte drinks, towels, cleanup, high-fives. We bring the gym, you bring the zoom!
