Dearest most loyal hoof clients

It is with the deepest regret that we must announce our hiatus from hoof trimming effective immediately and until further notice.

Our announcement comes undoubtedly and unfortunately through our lack of financial resource to continue at this time.
The COST to operate is not supported by in flow.

I know this must be a shock to some who consistently assume we make boat loads of money trimming hooves, this is absolutely false and in most cases became a charitable event through the support of essentially "donations" through hoof trim patrons. I could go on and on with the list of overhead in the traveling trim business, not to mention the health contraindications in breathing dangerous levels of hoof dust and barn dust all day despite the use of masks, it's for the love of what we do!!!

We hope to return soon, but absolutely not for the foreseeable future.

We do not offer referrals for other service providers, however, we can offer tips on what you should expect from your service provider for the most comfort for your animals and much more and are willing to offer our advice!!!

Please feel free to contact us, ask anything!

We deeply apologize for this inconvenience to our wonderful animal and human friends 🧡 🙏

We hope to reconnect sooner than later as we reorganize!!!

My favorite word in working with animals is VARIABLES.
Pigs are no exception!!

The definition being an element, feature, or factor that is liable to vary or change and any characteristic, which varies from individual to individual is called a variable.

There are ZERO one stop answers and everything is dependant on VARIABLES and extenuating factors of each and every individual creature...that leaves things wide open to many interpretations of any given answer or solution to better a situation.

Your animal deserves their individual needs to be considered and met.

With each animal we care for, each one of them present their own 'story' so to speak.

We do not rush into your animal to do a 'job' nor do we rush through it and consider this approach of ours to their comfort the entire time.

We come in and evaluate each animal slowly and deliberately to get a 'feel' for them and their needs and keep vitals of that animal under close observation at all times.

We are highly skilled and trained with many years of experience in managing stress levels of each and every individual pig and how to keep them calm.

We have worked in the field with pigs since 2011 24/7, 365 +/- and have worked with thousands of pigs +/- and approximately 12 different breeds +/- and are here to say VARIABLES matter and have experienced 100's of variables over the years.

With this our practice is built on a strong foundation of professional care for each and every INDIVIDUAL animal that we care for.
It is this foundation that trust is built between us and that animal.
With this trust we are able to deliver exemplary care for our clients.

Thank you for entrusting us in the care of your most beloved friends and companions!!

We are thankful for our abilities and knowledge to service them in top notch care!

It is not super common for us to trim tusks and never on a female.

🐽We never trim tusks out of cosmetic reasoning.

🐽We will evaluate the need for our piggie client and will decline trimming tusks on them if we do not see an inherent risk such as potential gouging of another animal on premise or care provider during their care.
Potential injury to health or body from overgrowth.

🐽When we do trim tusks, such as this guy shown below, we trim the tusk to inside the lip line and leave close to an inch of tusk from the gum line (depending on VARIABLES) this prevents the risk of introduction of dangerous and potential deadly pathogens and bacteria from entering the jaw leading to infection caused by trimming the tusk to the gumline and opening a path for entry. (Not a singular contribution)

In this guy's case the risk was it growing into his cheek and causing a festering infection.
The tusk was removed, the hole left to drain the infection and healing could begin quickly!

Never assume your pig 'needs' his tusks trimmed.
He depends on his whetters and cutters to be in tact for his natural instinct of grinding. Otherwise, he could end up with an infection in his jaw from grinding on bare gumline and introducing some pretty nasty pathogens.

We never trim female pig tusks, there is absolutely no reason to. The risk of introducing a deadly infection far outweigh the risk for injury in this scenario.

Please feel free to contact us for guidance on your pig's tusk length for need of trimming and we would be more than happy to offer our experience to help your decision for best health of your pig!!
