Animal Flooring Buyers Guide
The best features for animal flooring products will depend on the types of animals you have and where you’ll deploy the flooring. Horses need different types of flooring material in a barn stall than dogs need in a kennel or activity center, for example. Professional daycare or boarding facilities at a farm have different needs than someone who has a family pet at home. At Greatmats, we offer animal flooring suitable as the best flooring for goats, livestock, cattle, cows, horses, dogs, rabbits, and more. Our animal floor mats and pet flooring mats offer excellent quality and value for our customers. They keep animals and handlers safe with non-slip and moisture-resistant materials. Treating your pets like family involves keeping them comfortable and safe with the right animal flooring. (Trust us, buying Greatmats flooring for them is not spoiling them.)

Top 10 Questions About Animal Flooring
Below are the most popular questions we've received about animal flooring.

Laminate is resistant to scratches and won’t absorb spills or urine, making it great for pet messes. However, it can be slippery for older animals.

- How Thick Should Rubber Flooring Be for Dog Daycares? The proper thickness for rubber flooring in a doggy daycare is between 1/4 and 1/2 of an inch. Slightly thicker materials will stand up to rough treatment better than the thinnest materials.

- What Is the Purpose of Cattle Mats? Cattle mats help these large animals avoid problems with arthritis and other types of joint pain by giving them a more comfortable space to stand compared to a hard concrete or dirt floor.
- What Makes Rubber the Best Chicken Coop Floor? Rubber floors work well for chicken coops because they’re resistant to rodents, they won’t rot, they’re easy to clean, and they provide insulation against cold temperatures from the ground.
- What Are the Best Sizes for a Goat Stall? The ideal size for a goat stall will depend on the size of the animals, how many animals will be inside, and whether you’ll have a mother and kid in the stall.
- What Is the Best Rabbit Flooring for Cages and Agility? Because rabbits like to chew, the flooring used in cages has to be resistant to their teeth while keeping them comfortable. The material should be resistant to odors, too.
