Congratulations on the purchase of your new FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning
Equipment! Trusted by thousands of tness and rehabilitation professionals,
clinics, training facilities, and homes – FitPAWS® was designed for dogs to
help strengthen muscles, increase range of motion and exibility, engage
neuromuscular facilitation, provide sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint
alignment and balance control. Whether your dog is involved in sporting
activities or just a pet, core strength is necessary for your dog to control its body
during movements like running, jumping, and turning. It is also a great way to
help prevent injuries.
CONGRATULATIONS!

BENEFITS
Core conditioning is an essential part of any dog’s training
program, including the performance and pet dog. Your dog’s
body will automatically react to the shifting movement of the
balance products, allowing your dog’s body to use dierent
muscles simultaneously. Adding this strengthening activity to
your dog’s cross-training activities 3-4 times a week, has many
benets, including:
• Improved reaction and control
• Increased trunk and core strength
• Stabilization of weak areas
• Improved balance and proprioception
(awareness of the body’s position in space)
• Increased range of motion in joints and elongation of
the muscles
• Improved sensory and body awareness

EQUIPMENT CARE
Proper inatable product care and maintenance is essential to ensure product
integrity, performance and longevity.
1. Before each use, check the exercise area and your clothing for
sharp objects that may puncture or damage FitPAWS®
Balance equipment.
2. DO NOT use on abrasive surfaces.
3. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat, such as heaters,
lamps, replaces, etc.
4. Avoid direct contact with ink printed material as the ink can
transfer and mark the inatable products.
5. DO NOT patch or repair punctured equipment.
6. NEVER OVER INFLATE product.
7. Product is intended for indoor use only.
Use and Maintenance Guidelines
Please ensure your dog’s nails are trimmed properly. Avoid using if your dog’s
nails are too long or have any rough edges. If your dog’s nails are long and they
jump o the product, it could become punctured because of the force exerted
in a small area with a sharp object. A safety harness will allow them to gently
dismount without injury.

Do not store in direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold temperatures as they can
aect the durability of the product.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
• Ensure your dog is healthy to begin exercise. Consult your
canine health professional before beginning this or any
exercise program.
• Always check for proper body alignment while performing
exercises. Watch to ensure back and neck are neutral. Front
limbs and hind limbs should support weight safely. Avoid over
extension of limbs, neck and back.
• Perform an equal number of exercise repetitions on both sides
of the body.
• Start slow and build up. 3-5 repetitions is adequate for dogs
beginning an exercise program.
• Never over-exercise or over-tire your dog.
• We recommend your dog use a safety harness, while exercising
on the equipment.

FitPAWS® PEANUT
SIZE GUIDELINES
Choosing the correct size and shape of balance products for your dog depends
on what type of exercises your dog will be doing on the equipment. The size
printed on the Dog Balance Peanut is the maximum ination height. Never
exceed maximum ination, we highly recommend 95% of the maximum height
as a good guideline for ination.
For Core Conditioning:
If you plan to use your balance products for
core conditioning measure the length of your
dog when it is in a neutral standing position
from the front legs to the back legs. Your
dog should stand on the balance products
without a hunched (or roached) back. You can
always use a larger balance product for smaller dogs, but not a small product for
large dogs. Large dogs may need two or more items to ensure proper form. If
you have more than one dog, choose a size that ts your largest dog.
For Natural Stances Use this Peanut
Up to 20” length 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 cm
Up to 24” length 50, 60, 70, 80 cm
Up to 30” length 60, 70, 80 cm
Up to 41” length 70, 80 cm
Up to 46” length 80 cm

www.FitPAWSusa.com 8
For Weight Bearing Activities:
Weight bearing activities are activities where the
dog is partially standing on the ground and partially
on the ball. Choose a ball that is slightly under your
dog’s withers (or highest part of the shoulders where
the neck meets the back). If you need a ball smaller
than the 40 cm consider purchasing our mini egg or decrease the amount of
air in the 40 cm. Weight-bearing activities are a great way to introduce dogs to
balance activities.
Dog Shoulder Height Use This Size Peanut
16”-19” (40-49 cm) 40 cm
20”-23” (50-58 cm) 50 cm
24”-27” (59-68 cm) 60 cm
28”-31” (69-78 cm) 70 cm
32”+ (79 cm +) 80 cm

INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FitPAWS® Balance Products are designed for canine rehabilitation and
conditioning exercises but they are not puncture-proof and like any other
plastic inatable under pressure, when pushed past their limits, can burst. If you
choose your exercises wisely and follow a few simple guidelines, the FitPAWS®
Balance Products are designed to function properly.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
1. Always inspect your FitPAWS® products for damage. Creases
and folds are normal, as it will come folded, but any snags or
tears will prohibit you from inating properly.
2. Allow some time for the inatable products to get to room
temperature because if the material is too hot or too cold it
will aect how well it inates. We strongly recommend
inating and letting the product sit for 24 hours to stretch and
adapt to the environments temperature. You may nd that
after 24 hours you can inate slightly more.
3. DO NOT OVER INFLATE. FitPAWS® Balance Products should
be lled according to size, but there can be variances.
For best performance, you should be able to depress the surface easily,
approximately 2” with your ngertips, soft to the touch. Any inatable that is
stretched too tight has the potential to burst. Please pay attention to the surface

www.FitPAWSusa.com 10
tension of the products. If it is too tight to the touch, reduce the air and let the
product sit for 24 hours before using.
Maximum sizes noted are ONLY a guideline. If the products, for any reason,
appear to be too tight and does not inate to maximum height, or is hard to the
touch, then STOP - DO NOT inate further. Release air and allow the product to
sit overnight before use.
If you have questions, please contact us at info@tpawsusa.com.
Use tape or a pencil, mark the maximum height printed on your peanut or
egg on a wall so that you can measure the ball during ination. Measure from
the highest point of the ball, not the saddle. Use the enclosed pump or air
compressor inate ball up to 80-85% of the maximum height. Plug the ball and
let rest for 24 hours before inating to desired height.

The FitPAWS® TRAX™ Donut is an inatable tool, designed to provide a moderately challenging
unstable surface for canine balance and strength training. Its attened base oers more stability
than a round exercise ball.
Sizing Guidelines
The FitPAWS® TRAX™ Donut will work for most small, medium and large dogs for weight bearing
and balance exercises (2 paws on Donut, 2 paws on oor). If you plan to use your FitPAWS® TRAX™
Donut mainly for core conditioning, measure the length of your dog when it is standing from the
front legs to the back legs. Your dog should be able to stand in a natural stance on the top of the
Donut without being hunched over. If you dog’s natural stance measures 16” or less, you will be able
to use the Donut for core training. Small breeds and puppies should t ne.
Ination Instructions
• Remove the TRAX™ Donut from bag.
• Locate the plug(s) taped to the ball and set aside. The ball is inated by size and not by pressure.
Using a pencil, mark 13” on a door or wall so that you can measure the ball’s height during ination.
• Using a hand pump or compressor, inate the ball up to 13”. Place the plug in hole when ination is
complete. Push plug in rmly.
• Adjust the air amount inside of the TRAX™ Donut for dierent balance challenges. At full ination
(13”
height), the Donut has less dynamic movement and so is less challenging for your dog. To increase
the balance challenge, remove air slightly so that the Donut has more dynamic movement.

and working dogs or for animal rehabilitation and therapy.
Sizing Guidelines
The FitPAWS® Balance Disc has both a 14” or 22” training surface option. If you want your dog to
stand with all four feet on top of a disc, you may have to use more than one disc as you want your
dog to have a natural stance without a hunched back. If your main use is for weight bearing activities,
choose the disc size that is most appropriate to your dog’s size so they can stand comfortable with 2
feet on the disc and 2 feet on the ground.
