Keratex Hoof Putty

this was amazing after my horses abcess had drained, difficult to get out of the tin and mould but once it had warmed up it created a secure plug to prevent re infection and it was very durable. Able to turn out in muddy wet weather and still sound

This product lasts a long time - I’ve used it almost daily for around 1 month and still got lots left. Great value for money. I just needed to fill gaps in my horses hooves till they grew out, I didn’t need the holes drained so this hard putty was ideal for filling (if you have an abcess/infection then would be better getting other putty as it would allow to drain better than this one). It is tricky initially to get the product out of the tin, I used a hoof pick and scraped. It’s easier if you put the tin in hot water to heat it slightly but I managed with the hoof pick. To warm it up roll it in your hand and then squish it into the desired location. It lasted as long as I needed it to, I chose to take it out and replace it every 3days but you could leave it in as long as a week the tin says. I did find dirt/debris got on top of the putty so thought best to replace more frequently. Love this product and would definitely buy again although I hope I never need to and have a lame horse again </3 !

I love this product, although I have only used it for a week. My horse has a hole in the hoof wall and hard filler did not work and fell out almost immediately. This hoof putty is flexible and does not set hard. It remains semi pliable and can be topped up as necessary. A bit tough to get out of the tin, but once it's out, it softens quickly. A great product.

Very hard, making it difficult to work with but seems to work somewhat.

Getting the product out of the tin is not the main issue (although, as others have suggested, it isn't easy). The issue is that it does not stay in! I have tried all the suggestions plus common sense (ensuring the putty is warm and suitably soft; ensuring the hoof is totally clean and dry; ensuring that my lovely, patient horse is left to stand in a clean, dry bucket, while the putty cures suitably; reduced the amount of putty so that it does not actually occlude with the ground) none of which have helped keep the putty in situ. It doesn't even last a day, and yesterday, it didn't even last 2 minutes after my horse walked off! Total waste of money! Thought it would be an improvement over hoof clay, couldn't have been more wrong. Back to hoof clay I go - easier to use, works for longer periods of time and much, much cheaper. Will persevere with the putty until it's used up, as loathe to waste this much money, and will amend if anything changes, but don't hold out any hope, as so far, it has been useless.

Yep good stuff

It’s quite hard in the tin and not easy to get out. I had to scrap it out bit by bit and then keep squeezing it together until it softened up which takes a while. I did manage to fill the hole and it stayed in so got there in the end.

Putty is rock hard and too difficult to get out of the tin. I have a yard with no hot water so no way of heating it up.

Très bien pour soigner une fourmilière au sabot. Il faut bien malaxer le produit avant utilisation un peu comme de la patte à modeler pour pouvoir l'insérer dans les fentes du sabot.

Very costly

I used this putty to fill a crack in my horse’s hoof. It is very hard and sticky so I softened it first at home and scooped a bit into a plastic baggie. I kept it warm in my pocket so that it stayed soft. When I got to my horse I turned the bag so that I could put my hand into the dry side and push the putty into the crack. It worked great. My hand stayed clean and I was able to push the putty well into the crack. The putty stayed in the crack for over a week.

What I did was: soak hoof, dry, place on large piece of cardboard(our barn has rubber mats but this keeps the hoof cleaner) let air dry, work with the putty with clean hoof pick to get out(once out it goes soft in hands quickly but it's a rock in can). Then have someone else hold foot when you put it in. It stays in about 1 or 2 weeks for my mare.
