They were designed and developed by a prominent veterinary surgeon and his team in the United Kingdom in 1991 and are being used extensively in many countries’ world-wide. Cowslips have been marketed in the U.S. by American Giltspur, Inc. since 1994, after university field trials and market feedback analysis. Made in the United Kingdom, Cowslips have received favorable reviews and commendations in several countries for outstanding contributions to the dairy industry. They are shaped to fit snugly over the cow's healthy claw where they are fixed in position with a fast cure adhesive. When the hoof is properly prepared and cleaned, the Cowslips will bond securely and quickly every time. The sole of the Cowslips has a non-slip latticed tread and is approximately 5/8" thick, sufficient to comfortably lift the damaged claw off the ground. The absence of the pressure on the damaged claw relieves pain and minimizes further trauma. Mobility is immediately improved and increases in milk yield is noted. The Cowslips remain in place an average of 4 to 6 weeks, but a few may remain longer. Usually, the shoes are shed spontaneously when the natural oils of the hoof break the specially developed adhesive bond.
