Instructions for use :
For best results, insert Ozone Hoof Guard into the infected area once or twice daily until the infection is completely healed. Make sure that the area is thoroughly cleaned before applying the product. The treatment can be excellently supported with Hoofstuff, especially if deep abscesses or other deep infections cavities are present.
Precautions for use: For external use only! Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes!
Composition and role of the ingredients :
- Saturated ozone oil: Ozone, a powerful antibacterial and antifungal agent, is injected into this oil. The ozone released ensures thorough disinfection of the infected tissue and at the same time promotes cell regeneration, accelerating the healing of damaged areas. Thanks to its penetrating effect, the ozone-containing oil reaches even the hardest-to-reach areas and helps to eliminate bacteria responsible for infections such as thrush, abscesses and other infections under the hoof sole.
- Dragon's blood (resin): Extracted from the resin of a tropical tree, Dragon's Blood is known for its exceptional wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties. This powerful natural ingredient forms a protective barrier over the affected area while stimulating tissue repair and inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is a valuable ally in the treatment of abscesses and deep hoof infections.
- Chestnut tannins: The tannins extracted from chestnuts have strong astringent and antiseptic properties. They promote tissue contraction, which helps to close abscess cavities and dry out areas affected by infection. Tannins also create an environment hostile to microorganisms, reducing moisture and promoting faster healing.
Characteristics:
- Targeted action: Effectively combats hoof infections, including thrush and white line disease
- Easy to use: Precision cannula for targeted application to infected areas
- Ozone-based disinfectant formula: Cleans thoroughly while promoting wound healing.

Some facts about "ozone" as an alternative remedy
Ozone (O3) is a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms. "Ozone" comes from the ancient Greek ὄζειν ozein "to smell", ὄζον ozon: literally "that which smells" - we know the characteristic smell of ozone from the characteristic odour after a summer thunderstorm.
Ozone is the high-energy form of oxygen (O2). While oxygen consists of only two oxygen atoms, the ozone molecule has a third atom. As a result, it is extremely willing to bond and reacts with numerous substances. O3 triggers oxidation, i.e. the combination of oxygen atoms with other molecules. Because of its reactivity and instability, O3 can inactivate micro-organisms, stimulate oxygen metabolism in tissues, oxidise certain pro-inflammatory mediators and release growth factors in platelets. By binding to harmful substances, it neutralises them and breaks them down into harmless substances. Formaldehyde, for example, is broken down by O3 into water, carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Through a process called "ozonisation", ozone can be incorporated into the structure of the oil. The reaction of a fatty acid with ozone produces new, reactive compounds such as ozonides, peroxides and aldehydes. When used externally by application, these compounds can penetrate into deeper layers of the skin and release the oxygen (O2) they contain directly to the damaged tissue over several hours. In this way, the tissue is supplied with more oxygen and germs and viruses can be partially reduced.
The ozonisation of oils also produces the acids caproic and pelargonic, whose antimicrobial (germicidal) and fungicidal effects have long been known.
The increased oxygen supply to the tissue and improved blood flow in the epidermis stimulate cell regeneration and wound healing. Scientific study on the use of ozonated oil for cell regeneration and wound healing.
Ozone oil has been proven to be effective against viruses, bacteria and parasites. The successful treatment of fungal infections with ozonised oil was investigated and confirmed in this scientific article.
Ozonised oil can be used internally and externally for many different applications. Only the absorption of the gas via the respiratory tract is harmful; this risk is not present with ozonised oil because the gas is bound in the oil.
