The Hospital Pad is designed to accelerate the recovery time of a hoof injury. Horse owners are able to care for the injury while also protecting it.  This will allow the animal to be turned out and even ridden during the recovery period. The intended use of the Hospital Pad is specifically for treating injuries and encouraging rehabilitation. The pad has a removable plate for easy access to affected areas for quick cleaning and treatment. Simply unscrew the removable plate to soak, clean, medicate, and care for the injury. Then, screw the plate back on, and the injury will be protected.
