Keep Treatments Secure with Intra Hoof-fit Tape
Intra-Hoof-fit Tape is designed to help with the successful application of Hoof-fit Gel. By keeping the gel in place, the tape plays a supporting role in routine hoof care practices. Built for ease of use, it allows farmers, veterinarians and hoof trimmers to apply the gel with added precision and consistency. While not a treatment on its own, the stretchable bandage contributes to a more controlled and effective application process as part of a professional hoof care protocol.

Advantages of Using Intra Hoof-fit Tape
Intra Hoof-fit Tape offers practical benefits for securing hoof care products in place. Acting as a protective wrap, it helps keep the application site clean and undisturbed during daily farm operations.
Built for durability, the tape holds up well in varied conditions—whether cattle are in pasture, on concrete, or in bedding. Its strength and resilience reduce the need for frequent reapplication, making it a reliable addition to any hoof care routine.
Enhancing Cattle Hoof Health with Intra Hoof-fit Tape
Intra Hoof-fit Tape is a practical tool that supports consistent and reliable hoof care routines. By securing hoof care products in place, it helps ensure that application protocols are followed with precision. When used as part of a structured approach, the tape contributes to better outcomes and more efficient on-farm practices.
How Intra Hoof-fit Tape Supports Effective Hoof Care
Intra Hoof-fit Tape functions as a secure barrier, helping to keep the application area clean and undisturbed. Its breathable design allows for airflow while limiting exposure to dirt, bedding, and other contaminants common in barn and pasture environments. This support is especially valuable when applying hoof care products, such as Hoof-fit Gel, helping to ensure they stay in place during the initial, critical hours.
Recommended Duration for Application
Much like a cow being treated for mastitis requires close monitoring and timely follow-up, hooves wrapped with Intra Hoof-fit Tape deserve the same level of attention. For best results, the tape should be removed within 72 hours (3 days). Leaving it on longer is not recommended, as it may interfere with proper assessment and continued care.
Routine inspections ensure that hoof care protocols remain effective and allow for reapplication if needed. Consistent follow-up is key—because just like udder health, hoof care requires diligence and timely action.

Practical Considerations for Intra Hoof-fit Tape
Incorporating Intra Hoof-fit Tape into your hoof care routine is straightforward, but a few practical points can help ensure success. Knowing the size, how to apply the tape properly, and when to use it can make a big difference on the farm.
Dimensions and Packaging Available
Intra Hoof-fit Tape is available in a practical 4-inch (10 cm) width by 5-yard (4.6 m) length, well-suited for most cattle hooves. As a general guide, one roll typically wraps three hooves, depending on the application.
The tape is packaged in boxes of 12 rolls, and we ship in full cases only—each case contains 12 boxes, totalling 144 rolls. This packaging format ensures a consistent supply for on-farm use or professional distribution. One case of 144 rolls treats easily 430 hooves – ideal for busy herdsmen or hoof trimmers on the go.
Guidelines for Wrapping Hooves
Before applying Intra Hoof-fit Tape, it’s essential to first identify the specific hoof condition you’re addressing. For assistance with diagnosis, visit our Hoof Care page or download our Hoof Disease Chart for an easy reference that can be printed and shared with your farm team.
Once the condition is identified, clean and dry the hoof thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion. Apply the tape snugly—secure enough to hold the product in place, but not so tight that it causes pressure or discomfort. In wet or muddy environments, check the tape regularly to make sure it remains intact and effective.
Important: Do not let cows with wrapped hooves walk through the footbath. Soaking the bandage in contaminated water defeats the purpose of the application and may compromise the care protocol.
When to Use Hoof Wraps
Hoof wraps are primarily used to secure a treatment product—such as Intra Hoof-fit Gel—during application. We recommend wrapping only for infectious conditions, such as digital dermatitis, where keeping the product in place is critical to the protocol.
Wraps are not advised for non-infectious hoof lesions, as routine trimming and observation are generally more appropriate in those cases. Consistent hoof checks help determine when wrapping is needed and ensure timely follow-up.
FAQ
What’s the Difference Between Intra Hoof-fit Tape and Eco-Tape?
Eco-Tape is another option available for hoof care. Both Intra Hoof-fit Tape and Eco-Tape are designed to secure hoof care products in place, offering similar levels of adhesion and ease of use. The key difference lies in their material: Eco-Tape is made from biodegradable components, allowing it to break down naturally in the environment. Regardless of which tape is used, removal is still required within 72 hours, as part of a proper hoof care protocol.
Do I Need to Remove the Wrap, or Will It Fall Off on Its Own?
Yes, you should always remove the wrap within 72 hours. Intra-Hoof-fit Tape is designed to stay in place, but it won’t fall off on its own under normal conditions. Leaving the wrap on too long can slow down the recovery process and may even cause damage to the hoof, especially if the tape begins to tighten or cut into the skin. Regular monitoring and timely removal are key to maintaining hoof comfort and supporting proper care.
