Hoof blocks, pads, and adhesives are specialized animal health supplies used in veterinary medicines to address mobility and hoop problems in large animals like cows and horses.

These tools can enhance animal comfort, promote healing, and improve mobility.

Hoof blocks are attached to the bottom of the hoof with animal-specific glue or nails. They are typically crafted from plastic, wood, or composite materials. They come in multiple shapes and types. Some common types include wedge blocks, heart bars, and full sole blocks.

Hoof pads are integrated between the horseshoe and the sole of the hoof. They offer added comfort and protection for the horse’s soles.
In addition, they help in supporting the stability of animals.

Certain pads are specially infused with medications to treat different hoof conditions like infections, bruises, etc.
Hoof pads are made of different materials, like:

Leather
Synthetic polymers

Adhesives secure hoof blocks and pads to the horse's hoof. They create a strong, long-lasting bond between the hoof block and the hoof wall, ensuring these supportive elements stay in place during wear.
