A pliable, versatile and flexible wax, Keratex Hoof Putty is specially formulated to fill holes in hoof soles, preventing further damage if dirt, stones or mud infiltrate the gap. Enhanced with anti-bacterial active ingredients, the putty forms a physical barrier to bacteria, preventing access to the sensitive hoof tissue where the immune system could be affected. This flexible wax plugs holes in the sole of the hoof, preventing the damage that can be caused if grit, mud and stones enter the cavity causing injury or other problems. The wax also has a disinfecting action and, because it forms a barrier to the outside environment, it will prevent bacteria from being able to track up into the hoof where the horse's health and well-being could be compromised. Great for repairing holes in the soles of the horse's feet. Very useful when the horse is recovering from an abscess, puncture or hoof injury.
