Not a damaging oil, but a powerful hydrophobic treatment that leaves the hoof glistening dry Size: l. Review: Used this for years now - I have used this product for years now. It works amazing. My farrier had great things to say about it as well. It helped my gelding to stop blowing abscesses from the standing waters we would get and still get from time to time. Smells like acetone to me, it's strong but doesn't bother me. I will say purchase a paint brush or some kind of brush to help apply it since the product doesn't come with an applicator. Review: The Best Hoof Paint Ever - My farrier recommends Keratex Hoof Gel and nothing else. He says you have two choices with hooves: Keep them dry, or keep them moist. Alternating the two causes cracks, so people who use multiple products might be just weakening the hooves. Keratex is the drying/barrier variety. I've used it exclusively on my horse for 9 years after trying every other cheapo hoof product thinking I was saving money. I'd use them 6 months to give them a chance, and some did absolutely nothing. It was $10, $12, $15 a pop three times a year because I had to paint the hooves AND soles and hope my horse didn't kick over the containers while I had one of her feet in the air. I resisted buying Keratex despite the farrier's recommendation because it seemed too expensive, but it's false economy. One can of Keratex lasts me nearly a year because the farrier says to paint it only on the outside of the hoof, never on the sole or frog. Also, I apply Keratex only 2-3 times a week, and that's plenty to do the job. The only time my horse ever gets cracks is when I get lazy about using it, and we live in soggy Tidewater Virginia. Because it doesn't come with a brush, I bought a cheap applicator with a brush in the lid, and I've used the same one all 9 years. When I use up the Keratex, I wash the brush and jar with soapy water and refill from this metal can. My horse hates the smell but tolerates it. It smells like formaldehyde, but her feet are like rocks. She doesn't have shoes on her back feet, and there's never a problem with cracks. She loses shoes on the front only if the mud sucks one off, about once every three years. Since starting Keratex, she has never had an abscess or "gravel." Yes, it seems like an expensive product, but you'll use far less of it than others and have half the aggravation of applying it. You'll also lose fewer riding days to lost shoes, cracks, and abscesses. My friends all think that my horse has naturally hard feet. She has good feet,yes, but Keratex makes them close to perfect. I received no compensation for this review. Your reviews help me, and I'm just doing my part. ## Features - Keratex hoof gel preserves moisture within the hoof at the optimum level - Maintains flexibility of the hoof wall, heel, sole and frog of the horses feet - Helps prevent softening in wet, muddy conditions - Do not use with conventional oils and greases - Use every 2 days except in dry conditions, when keratex hoof gel can be applied every 4 days - Age range description: All Life Stages ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 375 Reviews | ## Images ![Keratex KHG 1000 Hoof Gel, 1 L - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511D4uaNY1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used this for years now *by J***T on January 22, 2024* I have used this product for years now.
