Pets bring joy, love, and companionship but they also bring muddy paws, fur, and the occasional mess. Choosing the right flooring can help you keep your home looking great while making life easier for you and your four-legged friends. In this guide, we’ll cover the best pet friendly flooring options and the pros and cons of each to help you find the perfect fit.
Soft underfoot and warm for pets to lie on, pet friendly carpets are ideal for bedrooms and lounges. Look for options made from 100% polypropylene or other stain-resistant materials. Loop pile carpets should be avoided as claws and nails may get caught whilst scratching.
Vinyl flooring is an excellent all-rounder for pet owners. It's scratch-resistant, waterproof, and super easy to clean — perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways. Choose from stone or wood effect designs for a stylish look with practical performance. Vinyl is also quieter under paws than harder surfaces like laminate.
Laminate offers a tough, durable surface that resists scratches and wear. Many modern laminate floors also feature water-resistant coatings, ideal for pets who might bring in moisture from outside. For extra protection and comfort, pair laminate with underlay to reduce noise and soften the feel underfoot.
