Product Information
Full details
Hoof-Stuff is designed for horse owners and hoof care professionals seeking to address deep cracks, separations, and cavities in the hoof wall or sulcus. By creating a protective, antimicrobial barrier, it effectively prevents debris infiltration while supporting the natural regeneration of healthy hoof tissue. While it is an excellent tool for deep-seated issues, users should note that deep abscess tracts require regular monitoring and should ideally be managed in consultation with a qualified farrier or veterinarian.

FAQs
Can I use Hoof-Stuff for every type of hoof crack?
No. Hoof-Stuff is designed for deep, narrow cavities. For wide, shallow cracks, it is recommended to use Artimud, which is better suited for surface-level coverage.
How often should I reapply the product?
Reapplication frequency depends on the severity of the crack. Generally, it should be changed whenever you pick out the hooves or during routine hoof care sessions to monitor healing.
Does it harm healthy hoof tissue?
No, it is designed to be safe for hoof tissue and actually supports the growth and health of the underlying structure by keeping the area clean.
Can I leave it in during wet weather?
Yes, its primary purpose is to block out environmental debris and moisture, making it effective for horses turned out in damp or muddy paddocks.
Is it safe for use in deep abscess tracts?
It can be used in deep tracts, but only under the direct guidance of a professional farrier or veterinarian to ensure the area is properly monitored for infection.
Troubleshooting
The product falls out quickly after application.
Ensure the hoof cavity was completely dry before packing and use a hoof pick to ensure the material is packed firmly into the bottom of the crack.
The product seems too dry or hard to apply.
Ensure the lid is kept tightly closed when not in use. You may need to manipulate a small amount between your fingers to warm it up before pressing it into the cavity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by cleaning the affected area thoroughly with a hoof pick and brush, then dry the surface as much as possible. If the crack is exceptionally deep, consult your farrier to determine if an abscess or infection requires clinical intervention. When applying, use a glove or a hoof pick to push the material deep into the cavity until it is flush with the surrounding hoof wall. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent the fibrous material from drying out or losing its adhesive properties.
