Cooling Bell Boot

Kieffer’s Cooling Boots – combining innovation with medical benefits. This new product may look like conventional boots – but is an intelligent product which helps to soothe horses suffering with inflammatory hoof diseases. The boots have integrated cooling pads to help soothe heat within the hoof, caused by inflammatory disorders, for example laminitis. The boots can be used to help prevent these issues as well as for therapeutic purposes. The boots help to cool and give relief, and are so easy to use – simply fit the boot as you would a normal over reach boot. This innovative new design means that time-consuming methods and incovenient methods like water baths or cooling dressings are now a thing of the past.

• One set contains a pair of blue cooling bells made of soft Kiefferprene with Velcro lining including two pairs of cooling pads packed in a practical bag
• The cooling pads are also available in pairs as accessories under item number 516
• Please note before purchasing: The additional volume provided by the cooling pad should be taken into account when selecting the size. The hoof cooler should therefore be selected one size larger than a normal hoof boot.

How to use Kieffer’s Cooling Boot, and how does it work?

Kieffer’s Cooling Boot consists of soft Kiefferpren material, which is also used for our conventional Kieffer boots.
A highlight of this product is that the inner surface of the boot is lined with Velcro for attaching the cooling pads which come with the boots. Before use, simply place the cooling pads (suitable for sensitive skin and filled with cooling gel) into the freezer and attached to the boots when frozen. Put the boots on your horse as you would a normal set of boots - an enlarged closing flap enables easy adjustment to the individual horse’s hooves and guaranteeing a perfect fit.

Kieffer’s Cooling Boot comes as a set with one pair of boots and two pairs of cooling pads - also seperately available as accessory parts. The cooling pads enable stressless cooling for up to three hours, and need to be frozen again before being re-used. If a continual cooling process is required, we recommend using 2 – 3 sets of pads in rotation. Due to the targeted, permanent cooling on the affected tissue, Kieffer’s Cooling Boots positive and soothing effects helping the horse to regain his wellbeing and mobility.
