"I first starting using exercise balls about fifteen years ago with my dog clients," says Dr. Saunders. "It started with conditioning clients - to work on their overall core strength and tone. And then progressed to neurological clients - dogs that had had back surgery or we were trying to prevent it. It then expanded to just about every canine condition from the veterinary component to the conditioning component. Currently, approximately 95% of the clients coming in to the clinic use the ball or related components as part of their regular program and their homework…" ~ Dr. Debbie Gross Saunders, Founding Instructor at UT Certificate Program in Canine Rehabilitation.

Canine rehabilitation professionals and veterinarians can use the FitPAWS® equipment within their clinic for diagnosing weak or imbalanced muscular structure as well as part of their rehab services for post-surgery/injury recovery. Once the patient is ready to go home, the FitPAWS® Canine Conditioning Equipment makes it easy for the owners to continue the prescribed canine therapeutic exercises at home to increase the chance for a full recovery. Rehab professionals can either choose to wholesale and stock the equipment to resale to your patients for at-home compliance or you can refer your patients to Ball Dynamics or anyone of our authorized FitPAWS® dealers.

Veterinarians and canine rehab professionals are also incorporating many wellness and preventative programs into their services and product offerings. FitPAWS Canine Conditioning Equipment can be an integral part of general wellness, weight loss, and athletic conditioning programs as well as adding a valuable revenue stream to your retail products offerings.
