What is the best hardwood flooring for pet owners?

Having a pet in the home can be a joy, but it can also require more diligence when finding the perfect wood flooring. Today, we’re going to look into which hardwood flooring is best for your pet-friendly home, so follow along to find out more.

When you need the best wood flooring


Pet-friendly homes need a floor covering that can stand up to increased wear as well as occasional accidents or wet paw prints. For most homeowners, engineered hardwood is a better choice than solid hardwood flooring for several reasons.

Engineered hardwood is constructed with plywood layers topped with a natural solid wood veneer. A durable wear layer is added on the very top to protect against most daily wear, including scratches, scuffs, and dampness.

To further protect your hardwood floors, you can add a few area rugs or runners where traffic is highest to extend the lifespan. Of course, you'll get the added benefit of increased visuals as well.

When you’re ready to discuss even more options for pet-friendly hardwood flooring, be sure to visit our showroom whenever you’re in the area. We look forward to helping you find the best products that will serve you for years to come.
