The best flooring for dogs; Expert advice from Floors for Paws

As the Director at Floors for Paws Ltd, I’m proud to say that our mission is and always will be to help pet owners find the best flooring for dogs that’s not only safe but also beautiful and practical for life with dogs.

Choosing the right flooring for a dog-friendly home can be a lot to take in, but with our experience and understanding of both pets and flooring, we’ve narrowed it down to the best option for you and your dogs: Anti-slip glue-down luxury vinyl tiles/planks (LVT/LVP).

What makes flooring dog-friendly?

Before we explore the benefits of glue-down LVT, let’s look at what makes a flooring truly pet-friendly:

1. Slip resistance: Dogs need good grip underfoot, especially active breeds or older dogs with joint issues.
2. Waterproof properties: Accidents happen, and your flooring should be prepared for them.
3. Scratch resistance: Dog nails can wreak havoc on some surfaces, so durability is key.
4. Comfort for paws: Hard surfaces can strain dog’s joints, particularly for larger breeds or senior dogs.
5. Ease of maintenance: The ideal flooring should be a breeze to clean from muddy paws, hair, and the occasional mishap.
(hey, it happens!)

Why glue-down LVT is the best flooring for dogs

At Floors for Paws, we are firm believers that glue-down luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are the ultimate choice for pet owners. And here is why:

1. Industry-leading slip resistance
Safety is paramount, which is why our PawSafe range of glue-down LVT is designed with an incredibly high slip rating, the highest standard for slip resistance in residential settings. Your pets will have excellent grip, reducing the risk of pain, slips and injuries even when the floor is wet.

2. Scratch-resistant and durable
Glue-down LVT is built to last. Its tough wear layer makes it highly resistant to scratches, even from the most energetic dogs. Whether you have one small pup or a house full of large breeds, our flooring is up to the challenge.

3. Water-resistance and accident-proof
One of the biggest benefits of glue-down LVT is its water-resistant properties. Whether it’s an accident from a puppy in training, spilled water from a dog bowl, or muddy paw prints after a walk, our flooring can handle it all.

4. Perfect for busy homes
Unlike other types of flooring, glue-down LVT does not shift or move underfoot, even in high-traffic areas. The correct sub-floor preparation and adhesive ensures a sturdy, stable surface, giving your pets the confidence to run and play without worry.

5. Easy to clean and maintain
Glue-down LVT is incredibly low maintenance. A quick wipe or mop is all you need to keep it looking as good as new, and it can be maintenance free for a lifetime.

6. Stylish and realistic designs
Our flooring combines practicality with stunning designs. The Floors for Paws PawSafe range features incredibly realistic wood and stone designs that enhance your home’s interior while providing a hardwearing pet-friendly surface.
