hoof trimming

Hoof trimming is a routine process where a trained professional carefully trims and shapes an animal's hooves to maintain health and proper function. Over time, hooves grow excessively or unevenly, which can lead to discomfort, lameness, or hoof problems. The trim removes excess material, balances the hoof, and ensures correct alignment with the animal's leg. Proper trimming promotes healthy circulation, prevents injury, and supports overall mobility, helping the animal stay comfortable and productive. The process requires skill and regular scheduling, typically every 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the animal’s needs.
