About HoofCare Direct

Based in Ballynoe, County Cork, HoofCareDirect is an online, farming family-run business. Whether you’re a farmer, professional hoof trimmer or a veterinary practice our aim is to supply the highest quality hoof trimming and hoof care products at affordable prices. We want to provide you with a convenient, fast and economical service.

Our website has been designed to make your purchase hassle-free, with simple online ordering and convenient home delivery.

Our mobile animal handling crate was developed to improve safety for the operator and the animal and reduce the physical work associated with hoof trimming.

Hoof trimming is no longer a tough, dirty, hard physical, back breaking job with the newly developed Inspect4 crate.

Since 2011 it has gone from idea to a series of prototypes leading to the final design – all this work and even the manufacturing has happened on the O’Keeffe family farm near Fermoy in Ballynoe, Co. Cork in Ireland.

We are confident that no other solution offers the flexible options, ease of use and home grown after sales support that comes as standard with Inspect4. Each crate is made to order to suit individual requirements. Inspect4 caters for both farmers and professional hoof trimmers.
