The Best Long Lasting Kennel Flooring for Dogs
This article should help to understand the value proposition of RACS flooring for Dog Kennels, and why there is a high return on investment when choosing our flooring. Additionally, we highlight the reasons behind the engineering and design of the flooring we build, so you can better understand how they help the animals your work focuses on.
What Professional veterinary services providers, Kennels and clinics expect from their Dog Kennel Flooring
Housing animals is already a difficult task, especially as they may be away from loving families, or in distress in one way or another. The infrastructure of a facility is all the more important to get “right” early on, as a result. When treating, housing or rehabilitating animals, you need to be able to focus on the animal rather than the facility and the mundane physical aspects of that space.
Knowing you can count on tooling and infrastructure is a core tenet of our engineering ethos, manufacturing and design process. At RACS we have always had the animal at the center of our philosophy and our designs. Having absolutely reliable systems and facilities in place means you can do your work more efficiently, safely, and at an increased benefit to the animal.
These efficiencies can also lead to significant returns on investment and a better overall financial benefit for the work performed, allowing organizational growth through passive means, paired with good planning.
Some points of reference when evaluating dog kennel flooring:
- Does the flooring provide an easier and safer traversal of the space for the animals?
- Does the flooring assist your staff in moving larger animals, or preventing injury, or difficulty in maintenance?
- Does the flooring fit with the space, and can it be easily cleaned?
- Is the flooring providing benefits other than just being an elevated surface?
- Can the total cost structure measured against longevity, help to lower total cost of ownership?
- Is the company able to back the product and can you get replacement panels, parts, etc.?
- Are the overall day-to-day operations enhanced by the addition of the flooring?
A history of providing a best in class product that is built around animals
These are baseline concepts when evaluating dog kennel flooring for your needs. And we find that the need for flooring suitable for a dog kennel usually goes beyond dog kennels.
We find that the following organizations need the same types of flooring as is typically marketed to the Dog Kennel segment of the market:
Veterinary clinics, rehabilitation centers, doggy day care facilities, temporary animal housing, emergency pet services agencies, and the list goes on and on.
Our ability as a company to service the needs of a broad range of customers, and to stand behind our products (warranty, repair, planning services, improvements in design as needs evolve, etc.) has been one of the most important parts to our company’s success.
We are good partners for the professionals that choose our flooring, because we understand that not all needs can be defined by a single concept.
Here are some important aspects of RACS Flooring that show off this innovative spirit and important customer and animal-centric design:
- A long life, in part because of great design, but also because of materials – we use premium steel and coat it in a thick envelope of polyvinyl
- We offer modular and semi-custom installations as a standard – every installation is built exactly to your needs for that project and your operation
- Easy maintenance because of the materials and design – urine and feces move easily through the flooring, and the flooring can be cleaned, even piece by piece in an autoclave if needed
- Elevated flooring, regardless of the setting – and a planning team that can help you get exactly the solution you need
- Custom pieces that service different facilities and operational needs, including tub grates for easy movement and cleaning, etc.
RACS has been in this industry for more than 45 years. Since 1974, we have provided plastisol coated animal-specific products to customers in this space. RACS is part of ADA Enterprises, and there is a history of providing customer service and rock-solid products.
We provide customers with a team of professionals that helps them get the planning and the execution right with a variety of products. That team also services our customers as they grow and their needs change. Others have come and gone in the industry, we remain committed to the next 45 years and beyond. We believe that there is no better partner for your animal flooring needs.
The proof is in the implementation of our Dog Kennel Flooring
Facilities of all types are utilizing custom and semi custom flooring solutions by RACS. Even more users are using our standard sizes and product offerings, including tub grates, cage floors, and run covers, that come in industry standard sizing.
The proof of the value of RACS flooring for Kennels is that it is implemented in a large number of facilities all around the USA, and our customer base is growing year by year, despite the low occurrence of breakage, replacement and repair.
What does that mean? It means even though we manufacture products that generally last for more than two decades, we continue to have growth in sales. We see growth in our customer base, because they get economic benefit from prudent infrastructure spending. It also means we are recognized as a leader in the industry, and provide a product that is selected over peers because of the quality and customer service.
As more and more facilities adopt our products into their design, we understand our customer needs more fully, and are able to improve our offerings. We are proud to have such loyal and successful clientele.
