Why Stronger Core Muscles Matter
As we mention in our Tripawd fitness book, “Loving Life on Three Legs,” if you start a fun fitness routine of just 3-5 minutes daily for at least three times a week, your dog can build stronger core muscles for:
- Better balance and overall strength, as the remaining limbs gain power and muscle definition.
- Better spinal alignment and longer endurance for longer, safer and more fun playtime and walks.
- Reduced joint stress and body stiffness as your Tripawd grows older.
Have Fun, Get Strong with the K9FITboneā¢
Tripawds Spokesdog Wyatt Ray is having fun and staying strong with his latest gym equipment!
Incorporate instability training with the K9FITbone for:
- Stronger hips, knees and core muscles
- Better lateral balance for good proprioception (the awareness of one’s body in space)
- Proper stance and better posture
- Neural stimulation when feet touch the sensory bumps
To make it more or less challenging, add or decrease the amount of air inside theĀ K9FITbone with the free air pump included in your purchase. Less air in theĀ K9FITbone will build muscles in your Tripawd’s shoulders, hips and feet while pumping more air will engage your Tripawd’s abdominal and spinal muscles.

Front and Rear Amputees Benefit from the K9FITboneā¢
Both front and rear leg Tripawds can reap the benefits of the K9FITboneā¢.
- Front leg amputees: place rear legs on the surface for stronger hind limbs and hips
- Rear leg amputees: place front legs on the surface and develop strong shoulders, biceps and triceps
- Large Tripawds can incorporate a second FitPAWS product like the Giant Balance Disc for an all-over body workout
Made for both small and large dogs alike, the K9FITbone’s professional grade heavy duty PVC material is tough enough for the biggest Tripawd and has an extra safe, superior gripping surface that’s resistant to doggie nail punctures. It’s perfect for travel with an overall size of 23″ long, 11.4″ wide and 4″ tall. EachĀ K9FITbone includes exercises that can be modified for our three-legged heroes.

Awesome guys! I haven’t yet purchased a Fitbone to add to my PT collection! Wyatt, you look incredibly strong! Kudo’s to you guys for keeping him strong!

Would you recommend the Fitbone or the balance disc for a first purchase? I may eventually purchase both but we’ll start with one for now.
Great question! We like them both equally as much and while both offer similar workouts at about the same level of difficulty it really depends on your dog and space requirements. The FitBone takes up less space than a Giant Balance Disc, while the standard 14″ Balance Disc is smaller than both. If your dog is small enough to put all 4 paws on the FitBone that’s super beneficial and it would make it our first choice in that case. Larger dogs would find the Giant Balance Disc a more thorough workout as a stand alone tool. I hope that helps, let me know.
Thanks for the reply. I have a standard poodle who had her rear leg amputated a couple days ago. When she is ready to be up and about I want to eventually start using some of the FitPaws equipment. There is a store near me that carries some of the products so maybe, if they provide a similar workout, I’ll just see what they have in stock.
Great. There are many other ways you can help support your Tripawds community!
