Epoxy Flooring for Pet Facilities & Kennels

Scratch-Resistant, Sanitary Floors for Dogs, Cats & More

February 16, 2026

If you run a dog kennel, veterinary clinic, grooming salon, pet daycare, or animal shelter, you know the flooring struggle is real. Between scratching claws, accidents, constant cleaning, and the need for sanitation, most floors don't last. Epoxy flooring is the industry solution.

Why the Pet Industry Chooses Epoxy

1. Sanitation Made Simple

Epoxy creates a seamless, non-porous surface that doesn't harbor bacteria, viruses, or odors. This is critical for:

  • Preventing disease transmission between animals
  • Meeting health department requirements
  • Eliminating lingering odors
  • Quick disinfection between uses

2. Urine and Stain Resistance

Let's be honest—accidents happen. A lot. Epoxy flooring:

  • Doesn't absorb urine (unlike concrete)
  • Won't stain from repeated accidents
  • Cleans up with simple mopping
  • No grout lines for waste to seep into

3. Scratch Resistance

Dogs scratch. It's what they do. Commercial-grade epoxy is formulated to resist scratching from claws, even from large, excited dogs running on hard surfaces.

4. Slip Resistance

We add anti-slip additives to create a textured surface that gives animals (and staff) traction, even when wet. This prevents injuries and reduces anxiety in animals.

What Our Customers Say

Running a 40-dog daycare, sanitation is everything. These floors are a game-changer for our business.

Installation Considerations

Planning Your Project

  • ✓ Drainage: We can work around floor drains
  • ✓ Slope: Ensure proper water flow to drains
  • ✓ Cove base: Optional wall-to-floor seal prevents moisture intrusion
  • ✓ Downtime: Plan for 3-5 days, we can phase installation
  • ✓ Animal relocation: Temporary boarding may be needed

Cleaning & Maintenance

One of the biggest benefits is how easy epoxy is to maintain:

  • Daily: Sweep and mop with enzymatic cleaner
  • Weekly: Deep clean with pressure washer or scrubber
  • As needed: Spot clean accidents immediately
  • Monthly: Inspect for any wear areas

Pro tip: Use enzymatic cleaners designed for pet messes—they break down organic matter and eliminate odors at the source.
