Pet-friendly flooring for dogs, cats and muddy paws
Most of our customers have at least one dog. Claws, accidents, water bowls and wet fur after a walk in the snow all take a toll. These are the floors that hold up and clean up.
1. Rigid-core LVP with a 20 mil wear layer
COREtec, Shaw and Mohawk rigid-core planks resist claw scratches far better than hardwood or laminate and are fully waterproof, so accidents wipe up without soaking in. Textured finishes hide the small marks that do happen.
2. Pet-protect carpet with a barrier pad
Shaw and Mohawk make carpets with stain-resistant fibers and a pet warranty. Pair them with a moisture-barrier pad so liquid cannot reach the subfloor. Odors stay out and the carpet cleans back to new.
3. Porcelain tile at the doors
Tile does not scratch and does not care about water. It is the right call at the back door and in the laundry room where the dog comes and goes. Pair it with LVP in the rest of the house.
In stock now: scratch-resistant LVP and stain-resistant carpet are stocked in Thayne. See the in-stock page. We also cut custom rugs with non-slip pads for pet beds and feeding areas at /rugs/.
If you love hardwood and have a big dog, we will be honest about it: expect some scratches, pick a harder species like hickory with a matte finish, and plan on rugs in the traffic lanes.
