The Hidden Danger in Every Hoof Wound
Hoof wounds are not just painful in horses dealing with laminitis. An open sole or compromised hoof can become life-threatening if bacteria enter the sensitive laminar tissue.
Laminitis Affects Up to 34% of Horses
Studies estimate laminitis frequency ranging from 1.5% to 34% depending on the population — making it one of the most common and debilitating equine conditions worldwide. (Source: Wylie et al., Veterinary Journal, 2011)
Open Soles Are a Direct Infection Gateway
In laminitis cases, the displaced pedal bone can perforate the sole, creating an open wound that contacts mud, manure, and bacteria with every step. Sepsis of the hoof complex is a leading cause of euthanasia in severe cases. (Source: Belknap, AAEP, 2017)
Contamination Happens Fast
Hoof sole wounds exposed to ground contact pick up bacteria immediately. Keeping the wound sealed and protected is critical to preventing secondary infection and supporting recovery.

- Up to 2 nights of waterproof protection
Ready to go. Right out of the pack.
The Science: Why Sealing the Hoof Matters
Moist wound healing research consistently shows that covered, protected wounds support better tissue regeneration than wounds left exposed to air and contaminants.

For laminitis-affected horses, sole wounds and perforations are especially dangerous. The AAEP notes that sepsis of the sole and subsolear tissue is among the most serious complications of laminitis — and contamination from ground contact is a primary risk factor.
HoofSeal Flex creates a waterproof barrier on the underside of the hoof, blocking mud, manure, and bacteria from entering the wound with every step — for up to 2 nights.
Horse Owners and Vets Are Talking
"HoofSeal Flex fit my mare's hoof snugly during laminitis recovery and stayed sealed through a wet week."

HoofSeal Flex stayed put on my trail horse after a sole bruise, and the 2-day protection gave me peace of mind before the vet recheck.
— Daniel P., Trail Rider
It held up great on my laminitis' patient during his stay at the hospital. We saved a lot of time by using the product.
