Think crap, ****, afterbirth, blood and vomit from
one wall to the other, plus all the clawing and chewing
a confined dog can do.

One option is ceramic with a splash up the wall, but I
perfer something that wasn't inherently so cold.
Latched on, nursing puppies get drug out of the
whelping box and chill quickly.

I have seen continous vinyl floor used in hospital
hallways that ran up the wall several inches on either
side with radiused corners. Is the flooring made this
way or is it laid against a form built into the wall?

the shelter where i work had a facility that had epoxy coating on the cement
slab that went about 6" up the wall. that made it pretty easy to mop or hose
out.
