Dog Kennel Flooring » kennel flooring

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.

This Rolled Rubber Matting product is made from 100% recycled rubber, and it is used in a variety of applications. This particular matting provides excellent UV protection due to high levels of EPDM in the matting. Naturally, this makes it great for both indoor and outdoor kennel use.

It is particularly useful in a dog kennel as it has anti-slip properties, and it’s also very comfortable for the dogs to lie down on and to play around on, no hard floor or concrete to injure them! This tough rubber matting holds up really well in kennels and around whelping mothers and young puppies who tend to be quite tough on their surroundings.

Another great thing about this type of kennel flooring is that it is extremely easy to install yourself, it doesn’t need any special tools or equipment to put it down, and it is equally as easy to take up and remove if needed.

Cleaning is a breeze with this thick, sturdy rubber flooring as well. Simply hose it down, or if it’s particularly dirty you can always take a soft scrub brush to it to give it a good cleaning. It holds up well against different cleaning agents as well, and doesn’t get easily damaged from harsh cleansers.

This flooring or matting is usually heavy enough to lay flat on its own, and there’s no need to attach it to the floor. If you want to, you can use some heavy duty double sided tape to attach it around the edges and to keep it from rolling up.(more…)

Kennel Flooring 2ft x 4ft Sections Set of 2

These interlocking grids with 3/4 inch square openings, are useful to use in kennels that house the smaller dog breeds. Not strong enough for really heavy weight dogs, they do just fine for the small to medium sized dogs.

They can also be used to place in whelping pens, though I would suggest if you do that you also cover them with something like the Drymate whelping box liners, which are comfortable for the mother and the puppies, and are comfortable for especially the smaller pups to get around on.

I personally think these do better in kennels or pens that house your dog temporarily. For more permanent use, I believe that the dogs are more comfortable with something a bit more solid underfoot. Still the price and the portability of these do make them an attractive option for your pens.

The Kennel Deck

2′L X 4′W X 2′H, The Kennel Deck is my favorite as far as ideal kennel flooring for your dog’s kennel or pen. It is comfortable, hygienic and easy to clean and to keep clean.

Another great plus with the kennel deck is the fact that it is lightweight and thus highly portable. This makes them great to use in a stationary kennel or in a temporary or mobile situation, as you can just pick them up and take them with you.

No need to worry either if your dog is a chewer. The kennel decking is made from high density plastic, not something that any dog can easily chew through. It is also strong and can withstand weights of up to 1,000 lbs so you could easily have more than one dog residing in the kennel if necessary without running into any problems due to the size or weight of the dogs.

This particular kennel decking can be trimmed to size too, so if it is not the perfect fit for your existing kennel it is very easy just to cut it down to the desired size. Pieces can likewise be attached to one another via clamps to extend the area of the kennel decking.

Ease of cleaning is another reason why many dog owners purchase these kennel deck squares. The hardy plastic is impervious to animal wastes and strong chemicals such as bleach or other strong cleaning agents do not damage it in any way.

All in all, if you are looking for something lightweight, hardy, easy to clean and hygienic I would highly recommend purchasing this type of kennel decking. (more…)
