Keratex KHP 200 Hoof Putty, 200g

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.

One of my old horses got a nasty abscess, and the vet opened it up to drain through the sole of his hoof. The vet packed and wrapped his hoof. We changed the wrap and kept his hoof clean until the hole started to close. We used this wax to protect the hole for several weeks until the sole of his foot grew out and the hole closed completely. This wax is easy to use. Just scoop out a stiff lump from the can, and massage it in your fingers until it softens. Use it to pack and seal the hole. Easy and durable. First photo is of the vet making the drain hole. Second photo is a couple weeks later, showing the hole (dark spot to the left of the frog). Our farrier used it after he trimmed our old horse's hooves. So, we're all happy with this product. (And the can will last for a very long time, like years.)

Product works great for filling in the holes in the hoof around the nail and the summer cracks and chips they develop from stomping. It’s only been a few days since I’ve applied it but it seems to stay in place and really like it for this purpose. I tried it to protect hoof wall for a thrown shoe while waiting for the farrier, however it is very pliable, even after application and didn’t help much there. I only gave 4 out of 5 stars because full disclosure, it makes a mess. The can it came in and the hoof pick I used are covered in the product. It does not come with an opener or applicator so be prepared to have a hoof pick and rubber gloves ready. Also, the product remains tacky like and shavings and hay will stick to areas of application. I would definitely purchase again.

Great for hoofs with problems

Sadly, I couldn’t even get the product into my hand to follow the directions. it was hard as a rock almost like it had already set. Unfortunately, I had to send the product back. There were no punctures in the can and the lid was sealed tight, so nothing was tampered. The concept was great. Wish it had worked.

Bought this based on having used Keratex hoof sealer and really was pleased on how it helped harden my horses hoof, also based on reviews on how this works great for abcess in hoofs, My results on a old burros with an abcess was NOT GOOD. The sealer said it would harden and become a protective seal, problem was the stuff hardened with a small amount making a pea like stone that only stuck in the hoof causing pain not comfort. The product was extremely hard to soften and work with, to the point where you had to work it with the heat of your hands. My hands hurt more than I think the abcess hurt my burro. I think this is a good product if you can apply it flat on hoof, but it isn't the easiest application. I also want to add that I applied the product, than wrap the hoof hoping to make a flat clean seal, when my farrier came, we found that the abcess had actually blown another hole out the hoof because the putty had sealed the first hole up. IF you try this product my advise is to check the hoof after a couple days if your animal is still limping, you may have the same problem I had, if not than maybe it worked for you.

My horse has brittle hooves and lost a shoe and a chunk of sidewall. I didn’t like the big gap and felt it would be better covered so I used this. It has stayed in extremely well. He is shod and the shoe held it in place .

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

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.

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
