If you are an owner or in charge of a dog kennel facility, you may have been looking for a better solution to kennel flooring. Kennel mats provide a surface made of rubber that is durable and softer than concrete and towels over concrete. There are many prize pedigree dog breeders in the country that breed show-quality dogs. These dogs and puppies are very expensive to own and maintain and require a lot of time and energy. Owners of such dogs and kennels will want to protect their investments with dog-friendly flooring. Dogs can be destructive when bored and left unattended for long periods of time. They can also make messes in their living areas when they can no longer hold their bladder or colon, making a floor that is easy to clean a necessary thing to have. These mats can also be used as a dog-training mat. They can be a part of training dogs to have a designated space to go to on command where they need a quiet place to retreat to.
Kennel mats are easier on dogs’ joints because they are made of rubber which is softer than concrete. They can also act as insulation from the cold. Cold temperatures can create stiffness in joints and muscles, regardless of age. Dog-friendly flooring is beneficial to dogs because it can reduce the amount of cold that could be in the ground. The mats can also act as a protectant to the surface below them. They are often made of recycled rubber, which comes from automotive tires, making kennel mats very durable. Dogs love to chew and their nails can scratch floors. The rubber mats are able to handle a lot of wear and tear. The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes 178 dog breeds as purebred, distinct breeds of dogs. Whether these dogs are large or small, they can benefit from using dog-friendly flooring, regardless of their size or breed. The mats will be able to handle the heavy weights of some of the large breed dogs, including English Mastiffs and Alaskan Malamutes. Kennel mats will also be able to handle little groups or pairs of small dogs living together who will undoubtedly make messes such as spilling water, and wet or dry food.

Kennel Mats
Both large and small dogs tend to make big messes in their kennels, but there is a simple solution to the cleanup. Rubber kennel mats are easy to clean and are moisture resistant. You can easily hose off a mat and set it to dry, or wipe it with a towel and some non-corrosive cleaning products. Pedigree puppies make messes as well, and using one of these mats as a dog-training mat is a great way to help potty train your precious investment and family member. You can place the urinating training pads on top of one of these rubber mats to protect your floors from any spillage coming from the “wee wee pads.” A dog-training mat can be used to train a dog to lie on it on command. If customers and potential owners are coming to look at puppies and you wish to have your dog lay down nearby, they will have a safe spot to retreat to as soon as you tell them to. With enough training and praise, dogs will come to recognize the mat as a quiet, safe, and comfortable place to be.
Kennel mats are a great part of not only the upkeep of a kennel, but also a part of the health and welfare of dogs that use them. They are beneficial to the joint and bone health of dogs because they can act as insulation from the ground. Dog-friendly flooring is durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean. It is able to withstand heavy weights of large dog breeds, frequent use, and wear and tear. The rubber mats can be used as a dog-training mat in potty training, as well as a “go to” mat training. They will be able to have a quiet spot to retreat to that they view as a sanctuary, if enough positive reinforcement is used. There are many choices in kennel flooring, but the great functionality of kennel mats makes them the best choice.
