Why Floors for Paws is the Best Choice for Veterinary Practices
When designing a veterinary practice, every detail matters—from the layout of consultation rooms to the choice of flooring. Independent veterinary practices require durable, hygienic, and pet-friendly flooring solutions that create a safe and welcoming environment for both pets and their owners. At Floors for Paws, we understand these needs, which is why our PawSafe flooring range is the preferred choice for many veterinary clinics across the UK.
Endorsed by Canine Arthritis Management (CAM), our PawSafe range is designed with the well-being of animals in mind. It provides market-leading R12 slip resistance, a robust 0.6mm wear layer, and a fear-free environment that supports both veterinary professionals and their furry patients. Here’s why independent veterinary practices are choosing Floors for Paws.
What Veterinary Practices Need from Their Flooring
Veterinary clinics are high-traffic environments that experience constant wear and tear. They require flooring that is:
• Safe for pets and staff – Slippery floors can lead to injury, especially for older dogs or those recovering from surgery. Our PawSafe commercial range has market-leading slip ratings, ensuring pets and staff can move safely without risk of falls.
• Hygienic and easy to clean – Veterinary practices must maintain the highest levels of cleanliness. Our floors are water-resistant, non-porous, and easy to sanitise, preventing bacteria build-up and making them ideal for clinical environments.
• Durable and long-lasting – With a 0.6mm wear layer, our flooring is designed to withstand heavy use, including the impact of claws, medical equipment, and regular cleaning.
• Comfortable for pets – Many dogs, particularly those suffering from arthritis or mobility issues, struggle on hard, slippery surfaces. The PawSafe range provides stability and comfort, helping to reduce stress and improve patient handling.
Creating a Fear-Free Environment
A visit to the vet can be a stressful experience for pets. Loud noises, unfamiliar smells, and slippery floors can all contribute to anxiety. Our flooring plays a key role in creating a calm, fear-free environment by:
• Reducing noise levels – Unlike traditional tiles or hard surfaces, our flooring absorbs sound, minimising noise from footsteps, claws, and movement.
• Providing a stable surface – Pets feel more secure when they can walk confidently without slipping, reducing stress for both animals and their handlers.
• Enhancing overall comfort – Our flooring has a softer, more cushioned feel underfoot, which helps reduce joint strain for pets and provides a more comfortable surface for those needing extended rest.
