"Dear
Dottie: Just finished trimming my pig Otis's hooves with the hoof trimmer
I received in the mail from you today! All I can say is FANTASTIC!!! They
were great! Only took me about 1 hour to trim the front hooves and tomorrow
I'm doing the back ones. I tell you these are the greatest trimmers ever
and they are SHARP, no nipping away for hours! He really didn't mind all
that bad, however took about a 1/2 cup of treats to keep him occupied.
Both other than that, they worked great. They don't look real good and
smooth, but they are shorter and he can walk a lot better now. I am going
to keep after him to let me file them. Thanks Dottie! "

THE BEST
HOOF TRIMMERS IN THE WORLD!
W/ TRAINING BOOKLET - HOOF TRIMMING AT IT'S BEST!
In our humble
opinion, we consider these the BEST HOOF TRIMMERS IN THE WORLD!
Our adopted male pig, Ziggy, has a 'thing' about us touching his hooves
for hoof trimming. Hoof care is NOT his favorite thing! For the first
few years we had him we took him to the vets and put him under Isofluorine
Gas in order to get his hoof trimming done. Our vet used the old style
farm and ranch hoof snippers. Very stressful on the pig, let alone the
cost! Once we showed these trimmers to the vet, he used them every time!
After trying
a few other types of hoof trimmers we heard about these from a fellow
pot belly pig owner and purchased a set. Our vet tried them once and was
hooked! Hoof trimming had never been this easy! We would bring these in
and the vet would use these instead of his regular hoof trimmers.
Now, we have
taught Ziggy to let my husband do his hoof trimming. He has VERY thick
hooves, nearly 3/4" in places and hoof care is a challenge. These
hoof trimmers allow Richard to make cuts in the hooves. It still takes
some hand strength, any trimmers do. But over the course of a few days,
the hooves are done. Trimming hoof after hoof, one or two times a day.
We could NOT do this with the old type hoof trimmers without putting severe
stress on our pigs. (There is a complete description of this approach
and others in the training manual that accompanies the hoof trimmers).
These hoof
trimmers are extremely sharp, and hold that sharpness a very long time,
about 30,000 uses. So far we have only sharpened ours twice in about 71/2
years. Pot bellied pig hoof trimming was never this easy!
The 5 page
8 1/2" X 11" training booklet walks you through a number of
approaches to proper hoof trimming of your pet pigs hooves and dewclaws.
An invaluable guide to showing you how to teach your pet pig that hoof
trimming, and hoof care in general, is okay, and in teaching you that
hoof trimming is okay and can be done!
Learning
proper hoof trimming will pay for itself the first time you succeed. As
pet pig owners know, it costs a considerable amount to bring your pet
pigs in to the vet for a trim, not to mention the stress on your little
girl or guy!
The hoof
trimmers are about 8" in length.
