The best flooring for dogs
Floors For paws: The world's best flooring for dogs®.
Over the last 20 years Dog owners have discovered the limitations of many different flooring types for dogs; carpet, laminate, wood and tile. Each of which has limitations; either impossible to maintain, slippery, or non-resistant to scratches. With the introduction of Luxury Vinyl dog owners and indeed dogs exclaimed a cry of ‘halleluiah’ Here was something that offered us a solution. Waterproof, stain resistant and hard wearing.
What is the Best Floor to Have with Dogs?
The best flooring for dogs should be durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. Here are some top recommendations: Luxury
Vinyl Plank (LVP): LVP is a popular choice for pet owners because it is highly durable, water-resistant, and mimics the look of hardwood.
Tile Flooring: Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are incredibly durable and water-resistant. They are easy to clean and maintain, though they can be cold and hard underfoot and some are slippery for dogs.
Engineered Hardwood: This type of hardwood is more resistant to moisture and temperature changes compared to solid hardwood. Look for options with a tough, scratch-resistant finish.
Cork Flooring: Cork is naturally resistant to mould, mildew, and water. It’s also softer underfoot, which can be more comfortable for dogs and quieter compared to other hard flooring options but can be difficult to maintain and keep clean
Will Dog Pee Ruin Vinyl Planks?
Vinyl planks are known for their durability and resistance to moisture, making them a suitable option for homes with pets. Dog urine will not ruin vinyl planks if cleaned promptly.
