Hoof
Animal Specific
Used for certain animals with hard feet, not all animals.

Cows and horses have hooves, but dogs don't.
Care Necessity
Hooves require regular care for the animal's wellbeing.

The farrier trims the horse's hooves every six weeks.
Not a Paw
Incorrect to call a hoof a paw; they are distinct.

Unlike a cat's paw, a horse's hoof can't grasp objects.
