Can hardwood flooring be pet-friendly?

Hardwood flooring is a durable material that can tolerate the movements of even the most giant dogs, so it is a perfect choice for pet-friendly homes.

Folks who reside in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex go to All Pro Floors in Arlington to find a great selection of top-quality wood flooring made by companies like Mullican and Mannington. We offer a shop-at-home service, too.

Benefits of wood flooring

Pets love to lounge on hardwood floors, which keeps rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. And pet owners like wood floors because they offer an easy-to-clean surface, so pet dander, dirt, and dust take little effort to remove.

What's more, hardwood flooring is scratch- and dent-resistant, and best of all, it can be refinished instead of replaced when worn.

Engineered wood flooring

Engineered hardwood flooring looks the same in a room as solid wood since there is a layer of hardwood on the surface of the planks. Manufactured planks, which feature a moisture-tolerant plywood base under the surface, click and lock together so a floating floor can be constructed.

Pick a textured plank, whether you opt for solid or engineered wood, and scratches from pet nails are easily hidden.

Prevent damage

Keep your home's temperature and humidity level in the range the manufacturer lists to prevent excessive plank contraction and expansion.

Then if a pet accident does occur, you can immediately wipe it up on the wood flooring without worrying about seepage into the raw wood. Strategically placed throw rugs, such as under a water bowl, prevent stains.
