Leovet Hoof Lab Hoof Hardener for Horses
Description
Leovet Hoof Lab Hoof Hardener
Leovet Hoof Lab Hoof Hardener is a natural topical hoof hardener that strengthens the hoof wall and sole and helps reduce cracks and abrasions of the horn. It is best for barefoot horses, and works equally well for shod horses with soggy or chipped hooves, cracks around nail holes, low heels or separating hoof walls.
The formula uses active ingredients from tannin oak bark and horse chestnut, both natural hardening agents, blended with nourishing oils and biotin. It is effective without harmful chemical agents and contains no glutaraldehyde or petroleum, which makes it a sensible everyday choice for owners who prefer naturally derived hoof care.
