“For years, professionals have naturally combined Blue-9 and FitPaws products in their programs because they work so well together,” said Ryan DeCaire, CEO of Paw Prosper. “Bringing these brands together allows us to better support trainers and rehabilitation professionals with a more complete toolkit, all backed by a single, streamlined purchasing and support experience.”

Through Paw Prosper’s wholesale platform and referral program, Paw Prosper Rewards, professionals can easily recommend both FitPaws and Blue-9 products to their clients. Paw Prosper manages fulfillment directly, while professionals earn points on client purchases that can be redeemed for valuable rewards. The model removes friction from the recommendation process and helps professionals expand their impact beyond the clinic or training facility.
