How To Choose Dog Kennel Flooring

Kennel & Animal Care Facility Flooring

Kennels, animal shelters, and veterinary facilities are exposed to constant traffic, moisture, urine, disinfectants,
and cleaning chemicals. Seamless resinous flooring systems provide a durable, non-porous surface that helps
prevent liquids and contaminants from penetrating the floor. These flooring systems are designed to withstand the
demanding conditions of animal care environments while providing a surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

Key Benefits of Kennel Flooring

Seamless and non-porous: Helps prevent moisture, stains, and contaminants from penetrating the
flooring, making the surface easier to clean and helping minimize the absorption of odor-causing
substances.

Slip-resistant: Textured finishes can provide added traction in areas exposed to water, urine and cleaning
solutions, helping improve safety.

Easy to clean and maintain: Seamless flooring makes routine cleaning, disinfecting and washdowns easier
while providing a more sanitary surface.

Chemical and urine resistance: Flooring systems can be selected to withstand exposure to urine and
common cleaning and disinfecting products used in animal care facilities.

Durable: Epoxy flooring systems can withstand frequent foot traffic, animal activity, cart, and repeated
cleaning in busy facilities.

Moisture resistant: Suitable for areas exposed to frequent washing, water, and wet cleaning conditions.

Cove base options: Seamless epoxy cove base creates a durable, easy-to-clean transition between the
floor and walls.

Choosing the Right Flooring System

The best flooring system depends on the conditions within the facility. Areas exposed to frequent washdowns,
moisture, thermal changes, or aggressive cleaning may require a different system than dry kennel areas or
veterinary offices.
Epoxy flooring can provide a durable, seamless surface with a wide range of colors and decorative options.
Urethane cement flooring is well suited for demanding areas where moisture, chemical exposure, impact, and
frequent cleaning are concerns.
We evaluate the existing floor, the intended use of the space, cleaning requirements, moisture exposure, and
expected traffic to help determine the appropriate flooring system. Depending on the existing substrate and site
conditions, flooring systems may also be installed over properly prepared existing tile surfaces.

FAQs

What is the most important feature of dog kennel flooring?

The most critical feature is impermeability. High-performance dog kennel flooring must be non-porous to prevent animal waste, odors, and bacteria from seeping into the concrete substrate. A seamless resinous system ensures that the facility remains easy to sanitize and free of lingering smells.

Yes, when installed with the correct finish. While standard epoxy can be slippery, dog kennel flooring systems are customized with a fine anti-slip texture that provides traction for dogs without being abrasive to their paw pads. Furthermore, these floors are “softer” on joints than bare concrete, especially when paired with urethane topcoats.

Professional-grade kennel floors are engineered to be chemically resistant. They can withstand daily exposure to harsh disinfectants, enzymatic cleaners, and ammonium-based products used to kill pathogens like parvovirus and kennel cough without staining, softening, or peeling.

An integrated cove base creates a seamless, curved transition from the floor to the wall. This is vital in dog kennels because it eliminates 90-degree corners where urine and hair typically collect, allowing for much more effective “hose-down” cleaning and better overall hygiene.

Many modern resinous systems offer fast-cure options. Depending on the specific material used (such as polyaspartic or certain urethanes), the floor can often be walked on within 24 hours. This minimizes disruption to the facility’s operations and allows animals to return to their runs as quickly as possible.
