What makes Floors for paws the best floor for dogs

It's easy for us to say we are The world's best flooring for dogs® so let us back it up:

At Floors for Paws, every product we sell is built from the dog up. Our two specialist ranges; Pawsafe Commercial and Pawsafe Domestic are the result of field testing, and veterinary collaboration.

1. Slip-resistant safe surface (highest rated slip rating of all LVT)

Our floors are finished with a textured top layer that improves paw grip even on fast turns or excited play in wet and dry conditions. It’s perfect for:

• Senior dogs with unsteady movement
• Puppies learning to walk
• Dogs recovering from surgery or injury or dogs who struggle on normal hard floors

2. Endorsed by Vets

Pawsafe is recommended by Dr Hannah Capon (MA Vet MB MRCVS, CCRP) — founder of Canine Arthritis Management (CAM).

“This flooring allows dogs to move safely, without the risk of joint stress or slips. It’s a game-changer for canine wellbeing.” – Dr Capon

3. Waterproof and easy to clean

Unlike carpet, Pawsafe floors don’t trap hair, smells, or stains. They’re:

• 100% waterproof
• Ideal for sloppy drinkers, accidents, or muddy paws
• Antibacterial and scratch-resistant to dog claws

Perfect for pet owners who want clean floors without compromise.

4. Designed for style as well as safety

We offer over 30 wood and stone designs across our ranges, including herringbone and plank options to suit every home aesthetic.

You get a stylish, modern floor that looks just like luxury vinyl or hardwood, but is built for dogs.

5. Proven in real homes and veterinary clinics

Our floors are used by:

Veterinary practices
• Doggy daycare
• Rescue centres
• Professional dog trainers
• and thousands of UK homes

With over 200 genuine 5-star reviews on Trustpilot, we’re trusted by the pet community.

So pleased with the result!

We are delighted with our floor from Floors For Paws, which we have throughout the ground floor. It looks absolutely beautiful and is perfect to keep our 3 German Shepherds safe when walking.
We did have a few blips arranging our initial assessment / measuring up, but I felt reassured by the actions of Mo and Zoe to resolve any issues, hence my 5* review. It was so helpful to get various samples and of a good size to make our colour choices. It was excellent service. We are so pleased that we have decided to get upstairs done too! Highly recommended
