Rubber matting for kennels

[Clodagh]

We have got very snazzy insulated kennels with raised beds. But I worry about the dogs legs as although the beds aren’t high (sort of sofa height) they are jumping in and off concrete to get to them.
I thought rubber matting, and you can get it pre cut to size. There are so many different sorts, any matting specialists here, what sort do I want?

That looks perfect. Was it fairly easy to cut?

My old dog is actually on a stab-proof mattress. Still managed to rip a hole in it

We have stable matting in the bottom of our crates, as the Rotters chewed the plastic trays.

What about the pourable liquid rubber type? Would help stop wee or washings getting underneath.
It’s expensive but would be worth a look for a smaller area perhaps.

Other half used a circular saw to cut it but I does grab the blade really easily so you have to keep it flat, he also reckon a jigsaw would cut it ok.
We have it on the floor of the keel boxes, on top of the boxes for the dogs that jump up and on the floor for the dogs that like to lay ourside in the winter.

That’s what worries me. You can get cut to size stuff but it’s the wrong width. Of course.
