FAQs

How often should I apply Gold Label Stockholm Tar?

Apply as needed, typically every few days, or as directed by your veterinarian. Frequency may vary depending on environmental conditions and the horse's activity level.

Is Gold Label Stockholm Tar safe for all horses?

Yes, it's generally safe for all horse breeds. However, if your horse has any known sensitivities or allergies, consult with your veterinarian before use.

How do I clean the application tools?

Clean applicators immediately after use with an appropriate solvent, such as mineral spirits or turpentine, as the tar can be difficult to remove once it dries.

Can I use Gold Label Stockholm Tar on other animals?

While primarily designed for horses, it may be used on other livestock with veterinary guidance. Always confirm safety and compatibility before applying to different animals.

How should I store Gold Label Stockholm Tar?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly closed when not in use to prevent the product from drying out.

What should I do if my horse ingests the tar?

In small amounts, ingestion is unlikely to cause serious issues. However, contact your veterinarian immediately for guidance if your horse consumes a significant quantity, or if any unusual symptoms arise.

Is the product waterproof?

While the tar is water-resistant, it's not entirely waterproof. Reapplication may be needed more frequently in extremely wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Tar is too hard to apply.

Warm the can gently in a warm environment before use. Alternatively, use a heat source like a hairdryer to soften the tar for easier application.

Tar does not stick well to the hoof.

Ensure the hoof is clean and dry before applying. If necessary, roughen the hoof surface slightly with a rasp to improve adhesion.

Strong odor is bothersome.

Apply the tar in a well-ventilated area. The odor is a natural characteristic of the product and will dissipate over time.
