1 Flooring

The hands-down most ideal flooring option for dog owners is vinyl. It’s scratch and stain-proof, inexpensive and easy to install, and makes your pet’s life that much easier with its non-slip properties. Linoleum is a good alternative but the downside is the price tag. Its major plus is that it is significantly more eco-friendly than vinyl flooring. The suitability of other flooring types varies. Natural floors, such as hardwood, scratch and stain easily, while ceramics and laminates are slippery, which can injure larger and older dogs.
