Which floor do dogs prefer?

Three surfaces were available for comparative observation of the dogs' reaction to different floor coverings:

  • Lawn
  • Concrete paving
  • Dog mats made from rubber granules

The group of dogs observed preferred the rubber granulate floor for romping and playing in the absence of their human caregivers. The grass is in second place in the dogs' favor, the concrete pavement is avoided. Jumps and quick turns take place almost exclusively on the rubber granulate floor.

In the same observation group, it was found that the dogs almost always lay on the rubber granulate floor to doze and, after it had been removed, chose individual, randomly distributed rubber granulate slabs on the concrete paving.

The most popular dog mats from WARCO

What are the advantages of a dog sports floor?

Indoors, in a dog school or a dog training hall, WARCO rubber granulate slabs provide a non-slip and elastic training surface.

WARCO's dog sports flooring consists of handy tiles that are firmly connected to each other by an integrated connection system and no longer slip once laid. However, the tiles can also be easily removed and laid again elsewhere.

All WARCO products are developed and manufactured in such a way that they have exactly the right properties for the intended use. For dogs, "just right" means that they can move easily and safely on the floor in any situation. When the dog is lying down, the floor should be pleasantly warm and dry.

Paws and claws find a secure hold on the dog sports floor and the other dog mats from WARCO, even during very dynamic movements such as agility. The non-slip floor has a good grip and is slightly elastic. Claws and paws do not slip, but can be optimally supported - without the risk of abrasions or injuries.

All-season flooring for dog yards and kennels

A spacious, weatherproof kennel for St. Bernard dogs is complemented by a generous run lined with elastic rubber granulate floor tiles. A clean and natural environment for the dogs.

The highly water-permeable rubber granulate dog mats are permeated with an invisible network of micro-channels. These allow water and urine to seep away quickly into the ground. This prevents annoying puddles and the floor dries quickly after a rain shower.

Every dog owner knows that a meadow used by dogs quickly becomes muddy when it rains. With dog mats from WARCO, however, kennels and dog runs always stay clean and tidy.

WARCO mats are also highly resistant to weathering and frost. They do not rot or rot and are resistant to breakage, tearing and splintering. The dog mats are hard-wearing and can withstand mechanical stress from dogs. A dog area covered with WARCO mats can be used all year round and in all weathers without restriction.

The self-cleaning effect makes maintenance easy: fine dirt particles are flushed out with the rainwater through the micro-channels in the tiles.

Is the dog healthy?

Dogs feel at home on WARCO's elastic rubber granulate flooring. The floor is very well accepted as a lying mat and for sports. A WARCO floor protects the dog. It insulates against cold and wet, protects paws and provides fall protection.

WARCO floor coverings - easy to install

Installing WARCO's insulating dog panels is very easy, both outdoors and indoors. No special expertise is required.

Hardly any other floor is as easy to install as a WARCO floor. That's why most customers lay WARCO floors themselves. Of course, a local craftsman can also be commissioned to lay the floor. No special expertise or training is required.

Almost any level and permanently load-bearing substrate is suitable as a base layer: for example concrete, asphalt, interlocking paving, slit flooring, grating or roofing felt.

In the case of natural soil, on a meadow or sandy soil, a base layer should be laid using plastic honeycomb grids (lawn grids). This is much easier and cheaper than building a base layer of gravel and chippings. And the base layer made of plastic honeycomb grids also holds up much better.

Laying the tiles is particularly easy and safe thanks to the uncomplicated connection system integrated directly into the mats. This is because the zipper connection of the puzzle teeth on the edge of the tiles joins the individual dog mats together to form a firmly connected and stable tile carpet.

Dog mats made of rubber granulate - superior to other floor coverings!

  • for outdoors: quick-drying, frost-resistant
  • for indoors: closed surface
  • Insulates against cold floors and heats up little
  • non-slip, slip-resistant and easy on the joints
  • Easy to lay on any stable base layer
  • Robust and durable - manageable investment
