How do I clean the application tools?

How should I store the product?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use.

Signs of Thrush include a foul odor, black discharge, and soreness in the frog of the hoof.
What if my animal is allergic to the product?

Troubleshooting
Tar is too thick to apply easily.
Warm the container slightly (e.g., in a warm room) to soften the tar. Ensure the hoof surface is clean and dry before application.
Hoof infection persists after treatment.
Increase the frequency of application or consult with a veterinarian to rule out a more severe infection requiring additional treatment.
Product appears separated or has a different consistency.
Stir the tar thoroughly before use to ensure even distribution of the ingredients. If the issue persists, the product may be expired.
