Hoof trimming plays a pivotal role in both the treatment and prevention of lameness. The role of veterinarians in hoof trimming can vary, from treating lame animals to actively participating in the delivery and assessment of hoof trimming practices. Consequently, it is important for veterinarians to understand the prerequisites for proper hoof trimming. Successful hoof trimming entails selecting the right animal, and using the correct equipment and method. When these things are in place, hoof trimming becomes an intervention that safeguards both the animal and the person conducting the hoof trimming.
