If you are the proud owner of a dog, or many dogs, you may well have encountered the problems faced by dog kennel floor grating. Most dog owners and kennel keepers are more than aware that a dog kennel floor grating is a complete necessity. After all, putting a dog out on any kind of ground level system will oblige the canine to walk in his own stool and urine. This creates an incredible health hazard, and worse yet even if the area is concrete, hosing it down is certainly not enough as urine and feces are then forced into the concrete.

What happens next is truly unfortunate. Incredible odors emanate from the concrete, the canine will get staph infections, and with the digestion of bacteria that is growing on that concrete the canine will then begin to develop parasites, and all manner of worms.

Whereas a good kennel system will include concrete kennels whose floors have been completely sealed so that not even a pin hole will ever develop no matter how often it is steam cleaned, hosed out or whatever other means of cleaning is deemed important, kennel owners need to know that these type of floors are available from a company called Silikal. Silikal floors last and last and will not ever allow even the least bit of canine urine or feces to enter the flooring. Imagine if you can the fact that Silikal floors are absolutely pinhole free, and they stay pinhole free for the life of the building, or in this case dog kennel.

Interestingly enough although a dog kennel floor grating is necessary for the comfort of the canine’s feet, your dog will also find that having his bedding laid upon a Silikal floor has further advantages. If the kennel is situated outdoors, the Silikal flooring under his bedding will retain the heat very well, so that once warmed by the dog’s body, the dog kennel area becomes totally safe and warm for your pets or canine guests.

Imagine if you will how happy a dog would be under those conditions. The dog kennel floor grating enables his wastes to pass onto the Silikal flooring below the grating, but his home is kept clean and cozy if his bedding is laid on the Silikal floor. The bedding itself will always be kept clean as it provides warmth, and of course the dog will always have a tremendously comfortable non-skid surface on which to lie down or walk.

Of course by having a Silikal floor you will have taken care of the problems that face kennel owners. The first concern is always cleanliness and of course keeping odor down. The second concern is always the dog’s comfort. And that’s why a combination of a Silikal floor as well as dog kennel floor grating is the perfect answer.
