Outdoor dog kennels

[Acorn]

Hi, A slightly unusual request for advice please. I live in France and run a boarding kennels which I am revamping during the lockdown. At the moment the floor of the outdoor kennel runs is bare concrete poured about 8-9 years ago. I believe it had an anti-acid additive in it when it was poured so that the dog urine wouldn't damage the concrete. It was also sealed with a basic clear sealant. Since then it's beginning to look tired and some areas get a lot of algae growth so I am considering tiling it. I have ordered some non-slip tiles : 45x45 Armada Clipper extérieur - https://allocarrelage.com/products/carrelage-antiderapant-r11-exterieur-45x45-armada-clipper-direct-usine?_pos=1&_sid=a7a6b0fd6&_ss=r

I would really like some advice on what I need to do to prepare the existing concrete slab, and what would be the best tile adhesive and grout to use. I believe epoxy grout might be needed due to the dog urine and frequent cleaning with chemicals. One French company has suggested this as the adhesive ADESILEX P9 PLUS - https://www.mapei.com/ch/fr-ch/produits-et-solutions/liste-de-produits/details-du-produit/adesilex-p9-plus

I would be open to suggestions and advice please. There are 10 outdoor runs to tile which total about 75m2.

Thanking you in advance
Kind regards
