We offer doggy daycare flooring solutions.
“Doggy” Daycare Centers:
A doggy daycare is a specialized facility that provides supervised care, socialization, and activities for dogs during the day—similar to a childcare center for kids. It is designed for pet owners who want their dogs to have companionship, exercise, and attention while they are at work or away.
Key Functions:
Supervised Play & Socialization
Dogs interact with other dogs in controlled group settings, helping to develop healthy social behavior and reduce anxiety or aggression.
Physical Exercise & Stimulation
Daily activities—like running, fetch, tug-of-war, and agility challenges—keep dogs active, supporting their physical health and energy management.
Structured Routine
Consistent schedules with designated times for play, rest, meals, and potty breaks help provide a sense of stability and reduce behavioral issues.
Rest & Recovery Zones
Dedicated quiet areas allow dogs to rest and recharge between activities, helping to prevent overstimulation or fatigue.
Safety & Behavior Monitoring
Staff closely monitor dog behavior to ensure compatibility, prevent fights, and manage any signs of illness or injury promptly.
Basic Care Services
Many centers offer feeding, medication administration, and optional grooming or training services to support overall pet care.
Cleanliness & Sanitation
Maintaining a clean, odor-free environment is critical for health and hygiene. This includes frequent cleaning of play areas, kennels, and shared spaces.
Owner Communication
Regular updates, photos, or report cards may be provided to keep pet owners informed of their dog’s behavior, health, and activities during their stay.
Flooring Requirements:
Slip-Resistant Surface
Active dogs running and playing all day require floors with a safe, slip-resistant finish to prevent injuries, especially in wet or high-traffic zones.
Seamless & Waterproof
Doggy daycare flooring must be non-porous and seamless to prevent urine, water, waste, and cleaning agents from seeping into the substrate. This ensures hygiene and prevents odors or long-term damage.
Durability Against Scratching & Impact
Dog claws, toys, kennels, and equipment can wear down or damage weak flooring. Systems must resist abrasion, gouging, and denting under daily use.
Comfort Underfoot for Animals & Staff
Slightly cushioned or flexible doggy daycare flooring can reduce joint impact for active dogs and fatigue for staff standing or walking for extended periods.
Thermal Comfort
Floors that don’t become excessively cold or hot help keep dogs comfortable and prevent health issues related to extreme surface temperatures.
Odor Control
Seamless, well-sealed floors help prevent lingering odors caused by urine or waste absorption. Optional antimicrobial additives can assist with odor prevention.
Integrated Cove Base
Curved transitions between floors and walls (cove base) improve cleanliness by eliminating corners where dirt, hair, and moisture collect. Cove base is also aesthetically appealing to integrate your floors while curving up the walls to desired height.
Attractive Appearance & Zoning
Fun, welcoming finishes can contribute to a friendly environment for pet owners. Color-coded zones also help organize play, feeding, and rest areas.
