At Firepaw, we offer two premium belt options for our dog treadmills — wooden and plastic — each designed to suit different training goals, budgets, and environments. Both guarantee the unmatched performance, safety, and durability that Firepaw is known for.
Wooden Belts – Built for Speed, Endurance, and Competitive Spirit
Wooden belts are included in the standard configuration of every Firepaw treadmill. They are made of high-quality beech wood and treated with a special non-toxic oil that penetrates deeply into the material, protecting it from wear and keeping it safe for dogs.
Because wooden belts are lighter, they deliver slightly better speed and endurance performance, making them the preferred choice for:
-
Owners on a budget, for whom low noise is not a priority,
-
Clubs and organizations that organize dog treadmill competitions,
-
Trainers and owners working on high-speed and sprint workouts.
As long as they are kept away from moisture, wooden belts can last well over 12 years — many Firepaw units have proven this in daily professional use.
Plastic Belts – Quiet, Easy to Maintain, and Weather-Resistant
Plastic belts are often preferred by dog fitness centers, rehabilitation facilities, and indoor training gyms, where low noise and easy maintenance are essential.
When combined with our silicone Firepaw wheels, plastic belts offer sinigficantly lowernoise levels, with minimal vibration. They are also highly resistant to moisture and weather, making them a great choice for multi-dog environments and all-weather conditions.
You can upgrade from a wooden to a plastic belt at any time with our detailed instructions and support, the replacement process is quick and easy to do on your own.
