The invention relates to a device for cleaning and caring for hooves or claws of livestock. In order to create a device for ensuring sufficient hygiene and cleanliness of hooves or claws of livestock, which device allows reliable disease prevention even in large herds, and, at the same time, can be operated with little work effort, it is proposed, within the scope of the invention, that a trough is provided, above which a walkway is disposed, on which the livestock can cross the trough, whereby nozzles are disposed in the region of the walkway, for spraying the hooves or claws with cleaning solution, and that at least one other nozzle is provided at the end of the walkway, which nozzle can be supplied with fresh care solution from a separate tank. The invention is based on the recognition that walk-through claw baths promote transfer of disease within a herd unless a bath change takes place very frequently, but in practice, this is hardly possible. Furthermore, it has been shown, within the scope of the invention, that it is practical to carry out the step of cleaning the hooves or claws and caring for them separately, one after the other.
