Four Tips for Hardwood Floors & Pets

Hardwood flooring is better for pets than carpeting.

Hardwood floors make a great choice for pet owners. Hardwood floors are a good choice for pet owners because they don't contain fibers that trap or retain allergens (microorganisms, dander).

Choosing the right wood for your pet

A hardwood floor that is in good condition is fine. But, if your hardwood floor needs to be replaced, you need to think about the design of your home and your pet's preferences.

You should choose a wood that is more complicated if you have a dog.

Select a matte or satin floor finish for your floors after they are completed.

Rugs in High Traffic Areas

Rugs protect floors that are frequented by pets or people. Rubber back rugs can cause permanent damage to floors.

Place a rug under your pet's food or water dishes to absorb any drips and spillages.

Don't worry too much about Fido. Place a mat or move the litter box to another area that has hardwood floors.

Maintain Your Dog's Nails Trimmed

This will reduce the damage to wooden floors and will also be good for your dog. Think about how your feet would feel if your toenails were not trimmed.

No matter what type of flooring you have, pets can cause damage to your floors.
