I tried using the rubber horse mat in one of my kennels. At first it worked out just fine. I could spray it off and i added a drain on the back to flush everything away. After a couple of weeks i noticed the young prospect I had in there couldnt walk on the driveway and after looking at his feet I pulled the matts out. His feet were so raw it hurt him to stand on anything that wasnt smooth. Not a good way to toughen up your dogs feet. I spent another week or so doctoring his feet and then built a TC above ground 8ft by 16 ft and he has been much happier. |

I just put pallets down for a floor in my kennels yesterday. it works good...just make sure the spacing isn't too far apart. some of my pallets were kind of rough so I sanded them down with a belt sander first. it was defiantly cheaper than building something. |

I did the same thing just last week...but my floor is 18 ft by 12 ft. Pallets and painted plywood...works great...just set the 3 dog kennel on top its too heavy for the dogs to move but I will probably screw it to the floor. |

Above ground kennels are the only way to go. Dirt floor sucks, to muddy and very unhealthy. Straw holds parasites and stinks when it's left in for a while. Concrete gets to hot in the summer and have to pressure was it constantly. Above ground is the way to go. |
