Wear Guard allows cows a window of 4 to 6 weeks to re-grow natural hooves. Use when the cow is walking slowly or gingerly, or shows signs of excessive hoof wear, Wear Guard can effectively prevent future lameness.

Labeled for: beef and dairy cattle


Species: cattle

  • Helps the cow re-grow natural hooves.
  • Easy to apply.
  • When used at first signs of foot tenderness, Wear Guard can help prevent lameness.
  • Treating multiple thin claws allows the cow to return to its normal gait.
  • Block thickness: 1/4″ thick.
  • This is not a therapeutic block; if the cow is lame, use therapeutic blocking techniques to heal lameness issues.
  • Use only polyurethane adhesives to apply Wear Guard; do not use acrylic liquid and powder glue.
  • In an environment of fresh or rough-textured concrete, course sand or long walking distances, do not treat just one thin claw; instead, apply to multiple claws. Treating one thin claw can cause only sole thickness to re-grow and the other claw will continue to wear, creating imbalanced claws. For best use, if one foot is worn thin, apply Wear Guards to all 4 claws to allow normal re-growth of hoof length.

Step 1. Use a power rasp to clean and roughen claws; then dry with hair dryer or heat gun on low (be careful not to remove too much hoof or heat to hot with heat gun, it is very easy to damage corium tissue on thin soles).

Step 2. Use only polyurethane adhesives. Do not use acrylic (liquid and powder) glue, this gets too hot when curing, and will damage corium on thin hooves. Warm Wear Guards to 80 to 100 °F. Apply adhesive to hoof or Wear Guard, whichever you prefer; then apply to hoof. Smooth around the edge of the hoof.

Step 3. Trim excess plastic to shape of hoof with power rasp or trimming grinder.
