The present invention is directed to a slider device on which a dog or similar pet can place the front paws. As the device begins to slide on a sloped surface or the like, the pet, especially under the inducement of seeking a treat carried by the device, spontaneously begins pumping the hind legs to keep up with the sliding action. This provides the pet with exercise, entertainment, and enjoyment, and is quite amusing to watch. In one aspect of the invention, the slide amusement comprises a rigid, imperforate base having a smooth underside, a rough top side on which the pet places the front paws, a front end, a back end, an arcuate perimeter, such as semicircular, extending from the front end to the back end, and a raised rim substantially surrounding the base. A cavity or similar receptacle is preferable formed at the front end, for holding a treat for the pet.
