Laminate flooring in homes with pets: is it worth it?

Anyone with dogs or cats knows that choosing the right flooring makes all the difference in everyday life.

Advantages of laminate for pet owners:

• Easy to clean (a damp cloth eliminates everyday accidents).
• Smooth surface that doesn’t accumulate hair.
• Good scratch resistance (depending on the quality).

Extra care:

• Keep your pet’s nails trimmed.
• Use non-slip mats in high-traffic areas.
• Avoid excessive water when cleaning, as laminate is not 100% moisture resistant.

👉 Bonus tip: Hardwood floors can undergo several sanding and varnishing cycles throughout their lifespan, prolonging their beauty for decades.
