The FitPAWS

®

 Balance Pad will work for most small, medium or large dogs for weight

bearing and balance exercises (2 paws on the Balance Pad, 2 paws on the floor). It
measures 15”x18.25”x2”.

If you want your dog to stand with all four feet on the Balance Pad, you may have to use
two or more Balance Pads side by side, as you want your dog to have a natural stance
without a hunched back.
