Looking for something quick and easy to install in your kennel, something that will be comfortable for your dog to rest on, that is easy to keep clean and looks nice as well? Many products on sale today, especially flooring that is pre-made, ready to put down and built to the standard sized kennel, can qualify as an instant kennel floor.

Perfect for the outdoor kennel, instant kennel flooring can be laid down on the grass inside your dog kennel in just a few moments. Not only is it very easy to use, but it is also very affordable and has many advantages over more common kennel flooring. Commonly this type of flooring is flexible and made from rubber or other synthetic material.

Benefits of Instant Kennel Flooring

Some of the main benefits to installing an Instant Kennel Floor into your kennel includes:

Low Cost: Prices are usually quite reasonable, and differ depending on the type of instant kennel flooring you purchase. Mesh floor is quite cheap, with prices varying depending on the actual size of the floor. While this can be used for outdoor kennels, it is usually better suited to crates. Rubber floor tiles are also quite inexpensive, a standard 24 x 24 inch set of five tiles costs a little over $100, and one set alone can cover 20 square feet.

Simple to install in your kennel: There are different methods for installing your instant kennel flooring. Some types are installed by laying it flat out on the area where you want your kennel to be, hammer spikes into the holes or grommets provided at the corners and then around the rest of the edge, then placing the kennel over it. Other types, such as tiles, are often best placed directly inside the kennel.

Portable, perfect for both stationary and portable kennels: Instant flooring for your kennel usually means that it is portable. Thus it can be used in any stationary kennels but it can also be easily transported to another location. Perfect for those who have to travel with their dogs.

Hardy: Most instant kennel flooring is made from heavy-duty, synthetic fibers, making it durable and made to last.

Self-draining design: No matter how well trained your dog is, chances are that accidents will happen, or there will be water spills of some kind. The best type of instant kennel floor should have a self-draining system, so that water spills go straight through the floor. This keeps the kennel clean and the whole area free from bacteria and odors.

Matting

This diamond-shaped and textured rubber flooring, similar to other types of rubber flooring, works well for kennel flooring. It has awfully good traction, non-slip which is helpful in situations where the floor may be wet, such as when you have a new litter of puppies for example.

It is available in lengths up to fifty feet long, and comes ready to lay out right away. There’s no need to actually attach it to the floor, though you can put something along the edges or the seams if you are worried about it rolling up and causing problems.

Other benefits include ease of cleaning, you can simply wash it down and even scrub the surface if it is particularly dirty. Great for kennels or to put down anywhere you have dogs Matting(more…)

This dog flooring features interlocking grids with three quarter inch square openings in it. It is useful for smaller breeds of dogs, and also to use in whelping pens. I like using this type of dog flooring more in cages than in actual kennels, or in pens where you’re not going to be keeping the dogs long term. I always prefer a more solid base in the kennels, something that offers the dogs a fair amount of comfort.

But this certainly does have it’s place. Of course, if you’re going to use it in a whelping pen, you will also need to cover it with something to add more comfort for the female dog. Even tiny little pups should still be able to clamber around on it alright though, so there’s really no hazard or danger to them.
