The Healthy Hoof provides professional hoof trimming and lameness management for dairy and beef operations, as well as for individual house cow owners.
The Healthy Hoof, South Australia's dedicated cattle hoof trimming service, is a subsidiary of Cattle Health Consulting. Led by Dr. Dario Mendoza, a senior cattle veterinarian and DairyNZ accredited Healthy Hoof Provider, we offer over 15 years of experience in preventative and therapeutic hoof care. Dr. Mendoza accompanies us on-farm as needed.
Our senior vet oversees all enquiries to make sure we'll work with you on a suitable plan for you and your herd. If your cattle is experiencing lameness and severe discomfort, it may require more immediate assistance and veterinary care.
The Healthy Hoof launched in April 2023 to bring year-round, professional hoof trimming services directly to cattle owners in Central and Northern South Australia. Recognising the limited service options in these regions, we're committed to addressing this critical need for cattle health and well-being.
Based in Gawler East, South Australia, we provide hoof trimming services throughout the greater Adelaide region, including the Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plains, Mid and Upper North, and Murray Mallee.
Our specialised hydraulic tipper crush prioritises both animal comfort and optimal working conditions. The crush ensures precise hoof trimming by maintaining proper cow balance, protecting sensitive horn tissue. Once secured, the cow is gently tipped using hydraulic winches and padded straps. This allows safe and efficient access to all four hooves, reducing the risk of injury to both the animal and the operator.
This setup might not be suitable for miniature breeds such as Dexters or Lowlines due to size constraints. Contact us for more details.
Our state-of-the-art tipper crush prioritises safe and efficient hoof care for both cows and operators.
Booking is crucial to provide a suitable time for you and your cattle.
If your cattle is severely lame and requiring urgent veterinary assistance, please let us know.
Contact us by email, phone, or direct message to discuss your cattle's hoof trimming needs and to schedule an appointment.
For the safe and full operation of our mobile tipper crush, minimal requirements regarding your facilities are necessary.
