The FitPaws Donuts® used in conjunction with the new stabilizers are wonderful used for core strength, balance and proprioception. They may be used with the dog completely on the donuts or only with the front or the back feet. These work great for dogs having a tough time with the physioroll and owners that prefer a lower surface. They are also a great tool to work on stacking dogs for conformation. Any age dog may use the donuts and applications include strength training, management of arthritis, improvement of balance for older dogs and puppies, and confidence building exercises. In addition, they make a great seat for owners!

 

The FitPaws Donut®  can be used as a balance training tool for small dogs or for dogs with hindlimb or forelimb issues. The Donut also makes an excellent seat for the rehabilitation practitioner or owner while working on their dog!

 

The new FitPAWS® Donut Holder is an inflatable ring that helps stabilize the FitPAWS® Donut. This is a good training tool if your dog is new to the FitPAWS Donut’s dynamic movement. You can start off with the Donut in the Holder and as your dog gains more core muscle strength and learns how to control his balance, you can remove the Holder and challenge him with the Donut directly on the floor.

Try using the FitPAWS Donut Holder as a hand-held jump-through ring for trick training, agility tire jump training and fun aerobic exercise with your family dog.

The FitPAWS Donut Holder is also an important safety tool for the animal rehab practitioner who is using the FitPAWS Donut for weight bearing therapy after surgery.
