As a mobile service, every appointment involves travel, route planning, and preparation, not just for your animals, but for every client on that day’s schedule. By sticking to appointments and giving us advance notice when changes are needed, you're helping us serve more animals, stay efficient, and most importantly, keep our prices fair and accessible for everyone.

About Our Helpers Who we are At Homestead Helpers Holistic Hoof Care, we’re more than just a hoof care service , we’re fellow homesteaders and animal lovers who truly understand the ups and downs , chaos and triumphs of farm life. Our journey began with our own "both feet first jump" into farm life - started with chickens, then rabbits, then goats and sheep.... and so on. This is where we quickly realized just how important regular hoof care is to their health, comfort, and happiness. It quite literally is the foundation of the animal. Over time, that passion grew into a calling to help others care for their herds and flocks , too. The name "Homestead Helpers" was born because our heart is in helping others, more specifically fellow farmers and homesteaders care for the animals they love. Life on a homestead is busy and full of moving parts, and sometimes those little details , like routine hoof care , can feel overwhelming. That’s where we step in. Our name is a reminder of our mission: to lend a hand, lighten the load, and support both animals and their people. Whether it’s keeping hooves healthy, reducing stress for your herd, or simply making life a little easier, being a helper is at the core of everything we do. This small, family-run business is built on compassion, trust, and a deep respect for every animal we meet. We know that healthy hooves mean happy animals, and we take pride in offering gentle, reliable care right at your farm. Each visit is about more than trimming hooves it’s about keeping your animals balanced, comfortable, and thriving, while taking one more task off your already full plate. We always are here to "pick our brain" on topics that are puzzling you or share your goals with!

We know they are special... ...and we treat them accordingly! Specialized Services for Mini Pigs Our Method: We use the American Mini Pig Association's "Flip the Pig" method, prioritizing your pig's comfort and well-being. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PIG TO CONSUME anything (food, treats, grass, leaves, etc) at very least 3 hr prior to our arrival! A few sips of water are okay. We trim to your animals "normal". This means we shape the hoof to function best for your pigs comfort. During trimming, we monitor your pig for stress and check vital signs to ensure safety. For pigs new to handling or trimming, we work gently to minimize stress and build trust. Severely overgrown hooves may require multiple visits to address the issue safely and effectively. Please note, we do not currently service large commercial farm pigs. We reserve the right to refuse to work on any animal that is un handleable, meaning one that charges, bites, thrashes or otherwise is a safety concern to itself or my team. How mini pigs benefit from routine hoof care & trims : Prevents Overgrowth: Hooves can overgrow and curl, causing pain, difficulty walking, and damage to soft tissues. Improves Mobility: Allows pigs to walk comfortably and naturally. Reduces Injury: Such as slips , trips and falls. Prevents Joint Strain: Avoids posture issues that lead to misalignment and extra pressure to joints. Enhances Well-Being: Supports overall health, reduces stress, and improves quality of life. "Healthy hooves are the foundation of a happy pig. Regular trims prevent pain, improve mobility, and ensure your pig can live comfortably, thrive, and enjoy life to the fullest." Does Trimming Hurt? Trimming pig hooves is a painless process when done correctly because the hoof is made of keratin, similar to human nails. The outer portion of the hoof is non-living tissue, so trimming this area doesn’t cause discomfort. We bring the correct tools and knowledge to carefully avoid the sensitive inner structures, ensuring your pig stays comfortable throughout the process. Regular hoof care also prevents painful overgrowth, cracks, or infections, keeping your pig healthy and happy. Many pigs may act VERY dramatic, as many are not used to handling by humans. They are VERY smart and try to scare us off by yelling. This is often short lived. Many pigs eventually relax and enjoy their pedicure often falling asleep! Safe . Simple . Effective . Correct. No Box or Strap Restraints used! Sedation FREE ! Mini Pig Association Approved Equipment Used! Endorsed Flip the Pig" Method Practiced! At your home or farm visits! No traveling! No Hassle Farm Visit Fee: $75 +$85 per pig trim service Additional Fees: $50 + New Client Pig Trims $50 + Overgrown Hooves * *as this required more time, assistants and equipment.
