The FirePaw Phoenix Gen 10 is a manual slatmill: a dog treadmill with no motor, where your dog drives the belt and sets the pace. It is built to order by FirePaw in Europe for daily professional use and sold and supported by Bestia Dog Sport, an official FirePaw dealer.
Run a sprint, hold a steady trot or build long endurance sessions at home, in a kennel or in a training trailer. Your dog speeds up and the slats spin faster. Your dog slows down and the mill slows with it. No buttons, no power cable, no belt forcing a speed.

Why a slatmill
A slatmill only moves when the dog moves, so the dog controls effort and pace. That makes it a natural fit for sprint work, conditioning in bad weather and structured sessions you can measure on the speed computer. In our dealer experience, FirePaw slatmills are built for professional daily use, and many owners bolt the frame to the floor of a gym or trailer for extra stability.

Common Questions
Q: What is the difference between a slatmill and a motorized dog treadmill?
A: A slatmill has no motor, so the dog powers the belt and sets the speed, while a motorized treadmill drives the belt at a speed you choose.
Q: What size dog is the FirePaw Phoenix Gen 10 for?
A: It is built for medium, large and working breeds, and for dogs over 110 lb (50 kg) FirePaw recommends adding the plastic running belt option.
Q: Is the FirePaw slatmill made by Bestia Dog Sport?
A: No, it is made in Europe by FirePaw and built to order, and Bestia Dog Sport sells and supports it as an official FirePaw dealer.
Q: How long is the warranty?
A: The FirePaw Phoenix Gen 10 comes with a 6-month warranty.
Q: How is the treadmill delivered?
A: It is built to order and shipped direct to you by DHL Express, and we email you the build and delivery timeline after you order.
Q: How heavy is it and can one person move it?
A: The shipping weight is about 190 lb (86 kg), and the mobility wheels and handles let one person roll it into place.
Q: Can the slatmill be fixed to the floor?
A: In our dealer experience the frame can be bolted to a gym or trailer floor for extra stability, so ask us about your setup before you order.
Q: How do I get my dog used to a slatmill?
A: Start with the brake on or a hand on the belt, let the dog stand and walk a few steps with rewards, and keep the first sessions to a few minutes.
Q: Is a slatmill loud?
A: It runs with a steady rolling sound, and the optional plastic running belt and FirePaw running wheels make it quieter.
Q: Does it need electricity?
A: No, the slatmill is fully manual and only the small speed computer runs on its own battery.
Q: Which options should I add?
A: Most first-time owners add the braking system for training starts, and heavy dogs over 110 lb (50 kg) should add the plastic running belt.
