Tripawd Fitness
Help your three-legged dog or cat love life on three legs. Regular rehab and fitness exercises help Tripawds develop core muscle strength and proprioception which are vital for maintaining optimal fitness to stay healthy and prevent injury. All dogs benefit from a proper fitness program, but this is especially important for amputee pets.
Proprioception (n): 1. Awareness of the body’s position in space, 2. Relating to stimuli connected with the position and movement of the body
Balance and Core-Strengthening Games are so fun for Tripawds!
Remember, walking does not build strength.
The best conditioning to do with Tripawds includes unstable surface exercises, balance work, and weight bearing activities. Check out our Tripawds Fitness Playlist on YouTube for more ideas!
These fitness games help with core strengthening, increased range of motion and flexibility, sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint alignment, and balance control.
