As homeowners, we love the blessings and joys pets bring to our households. Coming home to an energetic, loveable fur-ball is one of the best feelings in the world. However, as much as we love pets, they can have some destructive tendencies. Flooring can be an expensive home investment, and you want to get the most longevity out of it. So having a flooring that works well with your pet is ideal. Since each floor comes with its own sets of pros and cons, we are going to discuss the top pet-friendly floors for your home. Let’s take a look!

Tile 

A pet-friendly floor needs to be water-resistant and very durable.  Tile is a great-looking option that is very versatile in design. Plus, it adds a luxurious look to any home while being pet-friendly. Additionally, your pet’s paws will not damage tile flooring, making it the ideal solution for your furry friends. Also, with tile, accidents can be easily cleaned. However, tile and its grout are porous. Unattended areas may lead to staining, so remember to treat accidents as quickly as possible. 

Luxury Vinyl Planking 

While many homeowners love hardwood for its warmth, it is not always the best choice of flooring for pets.  LVP is a great hardwood alternative since these high-resolution floorings are 100% waterproof. They can give your home the appearance of wood or tile with added durability. Plus, they are also great to be installed in basements and wet areas of your home, and most LVPs can withstand pets’ claws from damaging them as well. 

Sheet Vinyl 

Sheet vinyl is another great choice. While not as durable, it comes at a fraction of the price. Additionally, it is a waterproof floor, which can withstand many pet accidents. Sheet vinyl has come a long way with a more comforting and padded feel! 

Finding a durable flooring that you will love in your home is key. Try to stay away from easily-damaged floors or flooring that cannot withstand your households daily wear and tear.
