Everything you need to know

From what's inside to how it arrives — open any section below for the full picture on Physio Tactile Peanut Balance Ball for Dogs - 40 cm.

The KRUUSE Physio Tactile Peanut Balance Ball is a professional-grade canine rehabilitation tool designed to support proprioceptive retraining, core strengthening, and neuromuscular recovery in dogs. At 40 cm, it is ideally sized for small to medium breeds and is trusted by veterinary physiotherapists and canine rehabilitation specialists across the UK and Europe.

What sets this ball apart from standard exercise balls is the neuro-sensory tactile buds covering the entire surface. These buds deliver heightened sensory feedback through your dog's paws and body with every movement, helping to retrain the nervous system's awareness of limb position — a process known as proprioception. This makes it particularly valuable for dogs recovering from orthopaedic surgeries, spinal injuries, or neurological conditions.

The peanut shape provides a stable yet dynamic surface, preventing the ball from rolling freely and making it far easier to use in controlled rehabilitation sessions. This shape allows dogs to be positioned lengthways or sideways on the ball, enabling a wide variety of targeted exercises depending on the area of the body being rehabilitated.

Made from high-quality, burst-resistant material, the KRUUSE Peanut Ball is built to withstand repeated professional use. It is easy to clean, simple to inflate to the desired firmness, and designed to last. Whether used in a clinical setting or at home under professional guidance, this ball is an essential piece of rehabilitation equipment for any dog on the road to recovery.

N/A

Before use, inflate the ball gradually using a needle-nozzle pump to the desired firmness. A softer inflation increases instability for greater challenge; firmer inflation provides more support for early rehabilitation stages. Introduce your dog to the ball slowly, allowing them to sniff and investigate before beginning any exercises. Always use under the guidance of a veterinary physiotherapist, particularly for post-surgical or neurological cases. Position your dog on the ball as directed by your rehabilitation specialist — exercises may include weight shifting, supported standing, or controlled rocking movements. Begin with short sessions of 2–5 minutes and increase duration gradually as your dog's strength and confidence improves. Never leave your dog unattended on the ball and always provide physical support and encouragement throughout each session.

For use under veterinary or qualified canine rehabilitation specialist guidance only. Do not use with dogs who have unmanaged pain, open wounds, or whose exercise has been restricted by a veterinarian without prior professional approval. Always supervise your dog during use — never leave them unattended on the ball. Ensure the exercise surface is non-slip to prevent injury. Keep away from sharp objects, claws, and rough surfaces that may puncture the ball. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can degrade the material over time. Check the ball for signs of wear, puncture, or damage before each use and do not use if the ball appears compromised. Keep out of reach of children when not in use.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

The 40 cm Peanut Ball is best suited to small to medium-sized dogs. For larger breeds, a bigger size may be more appropriate. If you are unsure which size is right for your dog, consult your veterinary physiotherapist who can assess your dog's size and rehabilitation needs.

This ball is commonly used in the rehabilitation of dogs recovering from orthopaedic surgeries such as TPLO or luxating patella repair, as well as neurological conditions including intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) and degenerative myelopathy. It is also used for core strengthening, improving balance, and preventing muscle wastage in senior or less active dogs.

We strongly recommend introducing this equipment under the supervision of a qualified veterinary physiotherapist or canine rehabilitation specialist, particularly if your dog is recovering from surgery or managing a neurological condition. A professional can design a safe, progressive exercise programme tailored to your dog's specific needs and ensure exercises are performed correctly.

The ball can be inflated using a standard hand or foot pump with a needle nozzle. Inflate gradually to the desired firmness — a slightly softer inflation increases instability and challenge, while firmer inflation provides more support for early-stage rehab. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant after each use. Store away from sharp objects and direct sunlight to extend the life of the ball.
