Circular Product Holder - FitPaws


pump sold separately

Details

The Circular Product Holder is an inflatable ring that helps stabilize FitPAWS rehab equipment and acts as a basic trick training tool for some pets. This tool is most often used with other equipment in order to reduce the Intensity Level of balance exercises when using other FitPAWS tools. Extra stabilization is crucial for Low Intensity exercises and to increase safety with pets who are new to a piece of equipment or have recently had surgery. 

FitPAWS products have been designed specifically for dogs and are trusted by thousands of fitness and rehabilitation professionals, clinics, training facilities, and pet parents. FitPAWS strives to  help strengthen muscles, increase range of motion and flexibility, engage neuromuscular facilitation, provide sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint alignment and balance control in all types of pets. Whether your pet is involved in sporting activities or just a house-pet, core strength is necessary for your dog to control its body during movements like running, jumping, and turning. Fitness Training is also a great way to help prevent injuries!

Use & Care

CARE

  • DO NOT OVERINFLATE.
  • Deflate to wash, use warm soapy water to clean. Lay flat to dry.
  • Deflate when not in use. Leaving the product inflated permanently may cause the material to thin and become weakened, which may increase the risk of puncturing the product when in use. 
  • Avoid using products like Simple Green, Lysol wipes, bleach and other harsh detergents on any of your inflatable balance products.
  • Do not store on a stand. This can affect the quality of the Circular Product Holder by producing wear marks which may become weak areas. 

USE

  • Consult with your veterinarian/physical therapist to determine the best treatment plan.
  • Do not leave your pet unattended when using the Product Holder. This product is not a toy and is meant for rehab and fitness use only. 
  • Do not store in sunlight or extreme temperatures, this can change the durability of the Product Holder. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat, such as heaters, lamps, fireplaces, etc.
  • Before each use, check the exercise area and your clothing for sharp objects that may puncture or damage the Product Holder. Always use the exercise equipment in a large, open room to reduce the risk of injury or puncturing the product.
  • DO NOT use on abrasive surfaces.
  • Avoid direct contact with ink printed material as the ink can transfer and mark the inflatable products.
  • DO NOT patch or repair punctured equipment.
  • Product is intended for indoor use only.

INFLATION

  1. Always inspect your FitPAWS products for damage. Creases and folds are normal since it will come folded, but any snags or tears will prohibit you from inflating properly. 
  2. Allow time for the inflatable products to get to room temperature. If the material is too hot or too cold it will not inflate properly. We strongly recommend inflating the product to 80-90% and then let the product sit for 24 hours to stretch. You may find that after 24 hours you can inflate slightly more. 
  3. DO NOT OVER INFLATE. FitPAWS Products should be filled according to size, but there can be variances. If you find that you cannot inflate the product to the indicated size without tension, do not inflate further. Let the product sit for 24 hours and try again to inflate to the desired size.

For best performance, you should be able to depress the surface easily, approximately 2” with your fingertips, soft to the touch. Any inflatable that is stretched too tight has the potential to burst. Please pay attention to the surface 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.

Please note that maximum sizes noted are ONLY a guideline. If the products, for any reason, appear to be too tight and do not inflate to maximum height, or are hard to the touch, then STOP - DO NOT inflate further. Release air and allow the product to sit overnight before use. Actual sizes slightly vary.

Rehab Protocol

EXERCISE BASICS

  • 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. Always watch for and listen to signs of tiredness or exhaustion.
  • We recommend your dog use a safety harness, while exercising on the equipment.

The Circular Product Holder is intended to be used as a stability and safety tool when using balancing based FitPAWS equipment, such as the TRAX Donut or Wobble Boards. However, it may also be used as a trick training tool for small dogs. 

Safety and Stability Tool

To use the Circular Product Holder as a safety and stability tool, simply inflate the Product Holder to the desired level and place under the balance equipment. Use the balance equipment as normal. Increase or decrease the amount of air in the product holder to change the Intensity Level. 

Trick Training Tool

To use the Circular Product Holder as a basic trick training tool, hold the Product Holder upright so the hole is facing your pet. Encourage your pet to walk through the hole, increase the Intensity Level by encouraging them to run or jump through the Product Holder once they are confident.

FAQs

WHY FITPAWS FITNESS?

FitPAWS Products are a great way to exercise your dog mentally and physically at the same time. FitPAWS Products  combine dog-specific equipment that provides fun dog fitness that you can do at home, outside, in a rehab facility, or anywhere that you need it!

WHAT CAN THE circular product holder BE USED FOR?

The Circular Product Holder is the ideal choice to stabilize other FitPAWS balance equipment. This tool can be inflated and placed on the floor, the balance equipment should be placed inside the product holder. The Circular Product Holder's edges are tall enough to hold other equipment in place while not interfering with the equipment's function. 

Alternatively, the Circular Product Holder can be used as a trick training tool for pets to jump through!

WHY DO I NEED TO TRIM MY DOGS NAILS BEFORE USING THE Circular Product Holder?

Your dog's nails must be trimmed before using the Circular Product Holder in order to reduce the chance of puncturing the equipment. If your dog's nails are too long or are sharp, then the nail may puncture the product when they jump onto or off of the equipment. This poses a risk to both you and your dog as the Product Holder may deflate quickly and could scare and/or injure your dog. We recommend that you always trim your dog's nails before using the Product Holder and assist your dog when mounting or dismounting the balance equipment.

HOW LONG WILL THIS PRODUCT LAST?

With proper care, this product should last 1-2 years. However, you should always check the equipment before and after each use to ensure there are no signs of excessive wear. Always replace the equipment if there are any signs of wear, if the product won't inflate, or if the product deflates during use.
