Vettec Sole-Guard is the first product of its kind to offer fast effective protection and support for the unshod foot. Simply fill the bottom of the foot with Sole-Guard creating a protective coating that bonds to the foot for up to three weeks. Sole-Guard sets firm to protect the unshod foot, yet retains flexibility to move naturally, providing comfort and support, in one easy application.
STEP 1:
Prepare foot as normal with proper trim and balance. Be sure to have the commissures of the frog clean and remove any sole that is ready to exfoliate. Then dry thoroughly. Use heat gun or hair dryer.
STEP 2:
With contouring plastic held at the toe, hold hoof up and dispense Sole Guard onto the sole using enough material to cover the entire sole to the white line.
STEP 3:
After application, bring plastic back from toe to heel smoothing and pushing material for even fill of sole and frog. Hold foot for 30 seconds. Place foot down on smooth, hard surface.
STEP 4:
Hoof after weight bearing. Note even distribution of material.
Recommended: Do not turn horse out for minimum of 30 min. after application.
NOTE: For application on softer surface, please refer to application directions.
STEP 5:
Hoof after final set, removal of plastic and trimmed material at the heels and bulbs.
This application is excellent for horses that are transitioning away from shoes, brood mares that need the extra support late term and horses that just need extra protection while riding in rough terrain.
