2. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT)

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a popular alternative to hardwood and stone flooring. It provides:

Water resistance – Prevents damage from spills and pet messes.
Durability – Resists scratches better than hardwood.
Aesthetic appeal – Mimics real wood or tile at a lower cost.

Not all LVT is equal - Check out the market leading slip ratings for our PawSafe ranges

3. Porcelain & ceramic tiles – The indestructible option

If durability is your main concern, porcelain and ceramic tiles are an excellent choice. These floors are:

100% waterproof
Scratch-proof
Easy to clean

However, tiles can be cold and hard on pets’ joints, so consider adding rugs or pet beds in high-traffic areas.

4. Engineered hardwood – A natural look with extra protection

Engineered hardwood offers the beauty of real wood with enhanced durability. It’s:

More moisture-resistant than solid hardwood

Available in harder wood species to resist scratches

But still prone to scratching, especially with large or active dogs.

5. Bamboo flooring – An eco-friendly alternative

Bamboo is a harder, more scratch-resistant option than traditional wood. It’s:

Sustainable & eco-friendly

More water-resistant than hardwood

Not all bamboo flooring is durable – Choose high-quality options to ensure longevity.

PawSafe slip rating: Why it’s crucial to be the best pet-friendly flooring

One overlooked factor in pet flooring is slip resistance. Slippery floors can lead to joint injuries, mobility issues, and anxiety in dogs.

What is the PawSafe slip rating?

Measures traction levels on flooring surfaces using the HSE pendulum test
100 PTV Dry/48 PTV wet (TRL)
Reduces the risk of pet slips and injuries.
Recommended by veterinarians for joint health.

Our Floors for Paws premium Vinyl ensures maximum safety for pets of all ages.

Vet-endorsed flooring: For your pet’s health

Why do veterinarians recommend Floors for Paws?

Joint protection – Soft, cushioned surfaces and backing reduces strain on ageing pets.
Non-slip grip – Helps prevent joint injuries and canine arthritis.
Zero maintenance – Keeps your home fresh and pet-friendly.

Vet testimonial:
We had floors for paws fitted throughout our veterinary clinic which is a dedicated canine rehabilitation and pain management centre. We wanted a high quality comfortable and non slip flooring and it does the job perfectly even in our hydrotherapy room. The non slip floor really helps put our patients at ease even though many of them are painful, anxious or geriatric. The clients love it too. It looks smart and less clinical, helping to create our relaxed but professional atmosphere. We have had the flooring done for two years now and it still looks like new.
