The Best Flooring for Homeowners with Pets

Fur baby, man’s best friend, four legged family member—all of these names and more are for your beloved pets. We would do anything to ensure they are as happy as they make us, and that should include getting the best flooring possible for your home. You want your pets to run around to play and have fun indoors because it’s as much their home as it is yours—but it is your investment. ServiceWhale can take care of every little detail to add value to your home, and playtime to your loved ones.

Vinyl Flooring

Let’s start with vinyl flooring. It’s extremely versatile as you can get it in wood, stone, slate and a ceramic option. If you pay the extra penny for it, you can even get a nice textured top layer that’s slip resistant for your quick moving pups. If there are any accidents on the floor (fingers crossed to the contrary), the flooring is water resistant allowing those mess ups to be fixed up with no problem!

The shedding dilemma also becomes a thing of the past with vinyl flooring; with a quick brush of a Swiffer or even a low sweeping vacuum, the hair comes up with no hesitation at all. With added benefits of quieter trots and high durability, vinyl flooring is a wonderful choice to add in your new home.

The pricing for a vinyl floor is also something to bark (forgive me) to your friends about, seeing as it’s a lower price than many other flooring options. If you’re looking to save a pretty penny on new floors for your home, ServiceWhale is as far as you need to look.

Laminate Floors

Laminate floors give you the appearance of natural stone and actual wood surfaces, but with a durability that matches with the rowdiest of dogs. Again, you’re going to want a textured surface for your pets—unless you have a flying squirrel, you don’t want them gliding across the floor. With laminate floors you get a lower price point, and you still get the water resistance that comes along with vinyl flooring.

Hardwood Floors

Now, about these coveted hardwood floors: most people will attempt and try to steer you away from hardwood floors, but let’s be honest—they look great, and most homeowners swoon over a well polished hardwood floor. If your heart is set on hardwood, just go with something that’s a little darker, or maybe even rustic in appearance. When looking for a hardwood floor, you want to find one with the highest Janka hardness score. What is the Janka hardness score? It’s the most common wood hardness test, but you don’t have to worry about that. The professionals at Service Whale will be able to take care of everything.
