Abstract: A hoof conditioner and dressing and methods of use. The conditioner and dressing is an oil in water emulsion that contains petrolatum, anhydrous lanolin, cod liver oil fortified with vitamins A and D, wheat germ oil fortified with vitamins A and D and containing vitamin E, urea and Povidone-Iodine solution. It not only acts to retain moisture already in the hoof, but the anhydrous lanolin and urea also hydrate the hoof. The Povidone-Iodine solution provides free iodine to the hoof over a prolonged period of time to promote growth, to act as a counter-irritant, and to kill the bacteria, fungi, and viruses that are often present in the hoof. The conditioner and dressing is semi-solid at room temperature and is easily applied to the hoof and pastern area, but melts when subjected to the body temperature of the animal and is thereby readily absorbed.
