Developed by Shoof, Tubbease is designed to make soaking or poulticing a hoof hassle-free. Its breathable design allows proper drainage and drying, making it ideal for treating injuries and conditions such as abscesses, thrush, and cracks. Use it with various treatments and bandages, and secure with the included Velcro strap. Replacement straps are available.
Tubbease was developed by Shoof International Ltd following the
development of the concept by local farrier Erin Hampson-Tindale. Erin
was trying to solve the problem of how to soak or poultice a hoof
without 'stewing' it - as happened much of the time with other regular
water-proof boots. With Tubbease, a variety of treatments, poultices or
bandages can be applied with the hoof, or liquid treatment* can simply
be poured in or over the whole sock once it is on the hoof. The
'breathability' of the Tubbease sock allows the liquid to enter and soak
the hoof, but then also to drain and dry out. Tubbease is an excellent
vehicle for treatment of injuries and diseases such as abscesses,
thrush, seedy toe, thin sole, cracks and fissures and general
deterioration of the hoof.
*An easily-concocted remedy is two
tablespoons of zinc-sulplate (available at vet or chemist) mixed into
one litre of water. Epsom salts is another option. Apply as pictured.
NB: Tubbease
should always be secured with the Velcro strap supplied. A bandage is
not suitable or adequate. Replacement straps are available. Tubbease
Hoof Socks are not enduring boots. They are for short term use in
confined enclosures by restrained animals. Judgement should be
exercised.
