Product Information

Considering new DIY flooring to better suit your household needs? Here are some of the best top-rated and expert-approved dog-friendly flooring options on the market right now—from laminate and vinyl to hardwood and eco-friendly offerings. Over the course of the last five years we not only been growing as a business we have also been learning as we go. We have had the pleasure of working closely with Hannah Capon at Canine Arthritis Management as well as leading manufactures in the flooring industry. FFP have been involved in numerous new build and refurbishments of veterinary practices and even more exciting for us we are also finding ourselves specified in these types of projects. What do FFP do differently? Lastly, and naturally the solution we suggest is to coat or treat your floor with an anti-slip product. This solution is long-lasting and not only protects your beloved dog but also you and your family from slip and falls.

By placing each mat end to end you can create a non-slip walkway for your dog – allowing your pup to navigate even the slipperiest of floors without setting foot on it. They are easy to clean and can withstand pressure from large animals. Simply wipe clean for a fresh, clean look! Our reception doesn’t look clinical anymore, instead it’s warm and welcoming while being a safe place for our fluffy visitors. It’s completely transformed the space and we love it! So much so, that we’re planning to have more Floors for Paws next year because our new reception has put our other reception to shame! An ideal floor will have good grip. If we lose our balance we need to be able to rely on our feet and not slip more. Rather like tyres on the road. A little forgiving slide is OK as it allows you to slow to a stop without damage, but skidding is a real worry, especially for the older pet or human. Laminate and high gloss floor tiles don’t allow enough grip and so can make our pets feel unsafe. Some dogs even get to the point where they refuse to walk on these types of floor, and I have seen this countless times. In many cases the dog may alter their gait and walk looking very strange as they over use too many muscles to try to be extra careful on the floor High gloss and laminate also make it virtually impossible for some animals to get up from laying on as they can’t get the traction needed. You know the tires on your car? As they wear down or get damaged, they don’t grip the road properly.

Best Flooring for Dogs

Laminate – A wooden core, with a printed image on the top, laminate is a great value option. It’s easy to clean and maintain, and dog nail scratches don’t look as bad. However, laminate isn’t fully scratch-resistant, and not all styles are waterproof. Laminate can also be slippery, unless textured. Bear in mind that some tiles are better than others for this purpose. Natural stone tiles are a great choice as they are so durable, but they can be an expensive option and will require regular sealing to ensure they remain stain resistant.Riven finishes can also be difficult to clean.

Choose oiled rather than glossy lacquered finishes; these will show up dog scratches even more. How do I remove dog urine from hardwood floors? Fortunately, there are a few solutions to stopping your pup and beloved pet from slipping on the tiled, synthetic, or wooden floor. Below are just some ideas to help your dog from slipping on the floor: We think the best flooring to have with dogs is luxury vinyl tile. It’s more stain and scratch-resistant than competitors, is waterproof against urine, and still looks great. Dogs can be hard on floors—there’s no way around it. But that doesn’t mean you have to submit to the idea of having scratched up and stained flooring for as long as you share your home with a dog. In fact, there are a few key factors to take into consideration when choosing the best flooring for dogs. If you’re choosing a dog-friendly wood flooring, look for lighter colours and harder wood species. You could also choose rustic or distressed wood styles, which will camouflage any dog-related imperfections.Vinyl is a really popular choice with those after utility room flooring ideas— and it isn't hard to see why. It is an easy-to-clean and water-resistant material and there are no pesky grout lines for dirt to become lodged in — all of these qualities also make it perfect for dog owners.

Now, you do have to regularly apply this non-slip wax to the bottom of your dog’s paws. I was able to get about a day out of each application, although I would need to reapply if my dog went outside. Sure, these floors may look great and be easy to clean. But to your dog, he might as well be walking on ice – he can’t get a grip.

With the introduction of Luxury Vinyl dog owners and indeed dogs exclaimed a cry of ‘halleluiah’ Here was something that offered us a solution. Waterproof, stain resistant and hard wearing.

But for healthy pups, the non-slip solutions featured above will make your dog as sure-footed as a mountain goat. But if you have an elderly or special needs dog, it’s even worse.

I have spent my whole life working with animals, as my uncle was a farmer and I grew up with no other destiny as my love for animals was so strong. Its funny, I never realised how much thought needs to be put into flooring until I became a veterinary nurse. This issue has only become more highlighted as I became an animal physiotherapist.Properties: Waterproof, hardwearing, scratch resistant to claws Floors for Paws Stone Effect (Luxury Vinyl Tile) Your dog may look adorably cute as he clumsily stumbles around your floor, or glides around like an ice skater.
