Klean Hoof™ - Gentle Hoof Care That Works!

Routine hoof cleaning is essential for removing dirt, manure, and debris that can pack into the sole and frog of the hoof. While this daily care is important, it often only addresses the surface. Many of the most common hoof problems are caused by bacteria that thrive in damp, dirty environments — conditions that simple picking and brushing may not fully resolve.

That’s where hoof soaking makes a difference. By allowing a cleaning solution to penetrate into the crevices of the hoof, soaking can:

• Reduce bacteria load before it becomes a problem – Regular soaks disrupt bacterial growth in the sole, frog, and heel, targeting the source of thrush, hoof rot, and other infections before they set in.
• Support healing of minor issues – Small cracks, scratches, or soft spots in the hoof are prime places for bacteria to multiply. A hoof soak helps keep these areas clean and promotes natural recovery before they escalate into serious conditions.
• Prevent odor and infection in moist or contaminated conditions – Stalls, pastures, and barns can expose animals to wet bedding, manure, or mud. These environments encourage bacterial buildup, leading to foul odors and unhealthy hooves. Soaking provides a reset, keeping hooves fresh and clean.
• Create a healthy hoof environment that supports overall well-being – Clean, strong hooves mean more than soundness; they contribute to comfort, mobility, and performance. Animals with healthy hooves are less likely to go lame, lose condition, or require costly interventions.

By taking this proactive approach with regular hoof soaks, owners can help their animals stay sound, reduce the risk of painful infections, and avoid downtime from lameness. The small investment of time pays off in healthier, more comfortable, and more productive animals.
