The Best Flooring For Dog Owners

Posted on: 23rd January 2015

A dog may be a man's best friend but they can be a floors worst nightmare. As much as we love dogs they can bring in dirt, scratch surfaces with their claws and sometimes get a little bit too comfortable and decide to relieve themselves where they shouldn't. So for home owners who have rugs and carpets throughout their house, this can be a stressful and somewhat unpleasant problem.
If you are thinking about revamping your home or you're looking for a change of flooring and you own a dog, then we have a solution for you.

Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring is an excellent choice for your home, as well as it being the perfect flooring for your dog it is also affordable, stylish and extremely durable.

Here are a few reasons why choosing vinyl is the right option for you:

Resilient

Vinyl is a very resilient material and is really easy to clean, so if your dog does decide to leave you a little surprise in the kitchen, you are able to clean it up with ease. Due to the easy maintenance of vinyl it means it will look great for years to come. Furthermore, vinyl is scratch resistant, meaning it can withstand your dog's nails and if you're concerned with dents and stains, fear not as vinyl has a durable wear layer which help keeps the flooring protected.

Waterproof

Whether your dog has knocked water out of its bowl or it's come in from the park and has wet paws, do not fret as vinyl flooring is almost impervious to water penetration.

Design

As vinyl is becoming a very popular flooring option, there are many different styles and designs to choose from such as luxury vinyl tiles which offer such styles as a wood effect look. Some vinyl is slip-free, so you won't have to worry about your dog sliding across the floor to eat dinner. It's also comfortable as well as quiet to walk on (or sleep on if you’re a dog).

Affordability

Vinyl flooring and luxury vinyl tiles are budget friendly and an affordable option, which is one less thing to worry about.
