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.
