One Piece Horse Stall Mats Make Great Veterinary Flooring
Likely the most popular veterinary hospital flooring options is the Big Sky One Piece Horse Stall Mat. These mats are constructed from 100 percent clean, recycled rubber and are available in three sizes. They can be laid without adhesive for a seamless, one piece installation. These mats are extremely durable and long lasting, and they provide a uniform thickness of 17mm to prevent buckling or puncturing in them.
Many vet facilities use these mats because of the excellent level of traction they provide. They provide grip, shock absorption, waterproof floor protection that will stand up in operating rooms, treatment areas, grooming rooms, recovery rooms, and more. Many practices choose these mats. Of using these mats, one veterinarian said, 'They have made a difference in traction for our large animal traffic, and ease on ourselves and clientele while on our feet all day.”
He added, “People are always happy to see a safe floor for their equine animals, and it has also helped in keeping the large animal side of the practice cleaner.''
Heavy Rubber Tile Flooring for Vet Offices
Other types of horse stall mats are great veterinary hospital flooring options for a practice or area of a facility providing care for equine and other types of large animals. Interlocking rubber tiles versions of stall mats offer for easy assembly and simple cleaning. The material used to construct these is a durable rubber that should be ¾ inches thick - providing a heavy duty matting that can be installed on compacted crushed stone or similar surface. There are numerous sizes available, and they are made in the USA.
When considering veterinary hospital flooring, it’s imperative to find an option that provides a non slip surface, as it will inevitably get wet. The horse stall mats do just that, ensuring safety for animal caregivers and animals for many years. In addition, stall mats feature antibacterial and antifungal properties, which helps keep the mat surface and underside clean and free of bacteria or fungal growth.
Veterinary Hospitals and Rubber Flooring

These affordable rolls are made from 100 percent recycled rubber that is durable and long lasting! They are available in several thicknesses and feature a non-slip top. They are very easy to clean when a dog or cat has an accident, and they have a lower rubber odor than rubber horse stall mats.
This is an economical flooring option that is a green product made from recycled rubber in the USA. Animal care professionals appreciate the ease of keeping this flooring clean at animal clinics, hospitals, rescue facilities, shelters and rehabilitation centers.!
As Allison Parrot, an animal care specialist for the Babinski Foundation says, ''Cleaning is super easy. We mop in there a couple of times a week and just one easy swipe gets rid of all the mess. It's really easy to sweep as well. Even if the dogs have accidents, it's really easy to clean up with some paper towels. It doesn't leave any residue or any paper towel mess on there.''
PVC Tiles for Kennel or Cage Flooring
There are times when a small animal will need to be in a room cage or kennel, either after a procedure or while waiting for one. Cage flooring suitable for this type of space is the Staylock Perforated Tile. These tiles feature a soft, fast draining, waterproof and non slip surface for an area that is prone to be very wet.
