Your dog’s well-being and comfort are important, but so is the appearance of your floors. Leaving a kennel on your floors means that you soon might notice scratches and damage. To prevent this, you should line the kennel with a protective material. All of the floors that I listed above can be used under a dog’s kennel. Another smart idea is to buy foam mats that you would also use for your home gym. These mats will offer suitable padding and prevent direct contact between the crate and the floors. Rubber mats and tiles can also be great at protecting floors. Both of these alternatives are affordable and available in numerous colors and sizes, so it will be easy for you to find the best choice.
