Maybe the cement is too rough. It could be they are not used to it. Could be something on the cement. I would wash the cement with something to kill anything on it. Make sure the dog has something softer to lay on like plywood or something.

thats why i dont like concrete . it needs to be smooth as glass or you wind up with elbow and hip sores . put something in for them to lay on .

Tractor supply sells rubber mats that work great in kennels. It will completely eliminate the sores.
