Hoof Trimming for Sanctuary Animals: A Vital Part of Their Care

At Animal Nepal’s sanctuary, providing lifelong care for animals means attending not only to their immediate needs but also to their long-term health and comfort. One essential aspect of this care is regular hoof trimming. Overgrown or misshapen hooves can cause a range of serious problems, including pain while walking or standing, joint stress and long-term deformities, increased vulnerability to infections such as foot rot and difficulty grazing or foraging naturally. 

To prevent these issues, Animal Nepal ensures all their hoofed residents — mules, donkeys, horses, and others — receive routine hoof care from the veterinary team. This proactive approach not only prevents suffering but also supports mobility, comfort and overall well-being. What may seem like a small act can be transformative for the animals. A properly trimmed hoof allows them to walk with ease, stand without pain, and enjoy their days with dignity.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support, which enables Animal Nepal to provide this critical care. With your help, we’re not just giving animals shelter — we’re giving them the quality of life they deserve.
