Use Kera-Prep when the hoof specifically needs hardening support.
Soft hooves
Helpful when the wall or sole needs a hardener-focused product path.
Wet conditions
Supports hooves affected by mud, moisture, or repeated wet/dry cycles.
Support product
Use when hardening is the priority; choose Hoof Guard when protection and sealing are the priority.
Apply when the hoof needs targeted firmness.
Remove dirt and moisture so product selection is based on the hoof condition, not surface debris.
Kera-Prep is for hardening support, not external cleansing.
Use Hoof Guard when the hoof also needs sealant-style protection around cracks, nail holes, or moisture exposure.
When should you choose a hoof hardener?
Start with whether the hoof needs hardening or sealant-style protection. Kera-Prep is the Livingston Tech hoof hardener path for soft, weak, tender, or moisture-affected hooves.
| Product path | Primary role | Best fit | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kera-Prep | Horse hoof hardener | Soft, weak, tender, or moisture-affected hooves where firmness is the priority. | Choose Kera-Prep |
| Hoof Guard | Hoof sealant | Cracks, nail holes, hoof-wall protection, and moisture balance. | Compare Hoof Guard |
Choose Kera-Prep when hardening is the job.
If the hoof is soft, weak, tender, or moisture-affected, Kera-Prep is the direct hoof hardener path. If the issue is cracks, nail holes, or hoof-wall protection, compare with Hoof Guard hoof sealant.
