Is the Flexiness Twindisc a good beginner balance tool?

Yes. The Flexiness Twindisc is a great option for pets who are beginners with balance equipment. This rehab tool is stable enough that your pet won't strain themselves trying to stay on it but will work enough to keep themselves centered on the disc. 

Why do i need to trim my dogs nails before using the Flexiness Twindisc?

Your dog's nails must be trimmed before using the Flexiness Twindisc 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 Flexiness Twindisc may deflate quickly and could scare and/or injure your dog. We recommend that you always trim your dog's nails before using the Flexiness Twindisc and assist your dog when mounting or dismounting the balance equipment. 

Are FitPAWS rehab tools good for puppies?

FitPAWS products are perfect for helping get rid of a puppy's excess energy, while giving them a beneficial physical and mental ‘job’ by engaging them in new games, tricks, and behaviors. Many of the FitPAWS tools are low-impact and you can start training your puppy with them as early as 8 weeks, starting with 3–5 minute training sessions. Improving your puppy’s core strength, confidence, and body awareness puts them on track to living a longer, happier, and healthier life. A more active lifestyle strengthens your puppy to help prevent future injuries and benefits their overall well-being.

What can the Flexiness Twindisc be used for?

The Flexiness Twindisc is great for balance training and muscle building. The stability of the disc can be changed depending on the amount of air you put in it. Less air creates a more squishable surface and better paw grip, which creates a Lower Intensity Level. More air creates a more unstable surface and a Higher Intensity Level. 

What do the sensory nubs do and will they hurt my dog?

The sensory nubs should not hurt your dog, though some dogs may not like the feeling of the nubs since it is a new sensation. They are made of the same flexible material as the rest of the product and will slightly compress when your dog stands on them. The sensory nubs aid in sensory input for your dog, meaning they help your dog feel what is under them more than they would with a smooth surface. They also help with paw grip when using balance products. 

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.
