If you’re a pet lover, finding a flooring solution that will be forgiving of the use and abuse from furry friends is not always easy. If you haven’t considered laminate flooring, it’s worth taking a look. Where it sometimes can be on the slippery side, it is often scratch resistant, non absorbent, and easy to clean up urine and rid the space of urine smell. It is also economical and easy to install.

  1. Max Tile Modular Flooring
  2. Envee Tacky Back LVT Laminate Tiles

Raised Max Tile Modular Flooring is perhaps one of the most versatile flooring options at Greatmats and among the best laminate flooring for dogs. It looks like authentic hardwood, but it features an attractive, commercial-grade vinyl surface that never needs to be refinished, vs. authentic wood that easily becomes scratched and damaged. It also has a durable and non-absorbent wear layer that is scratch and stain-resistant.

This product really is a great solution for an area prone to moisture, as it's made from the highest quality waterproof and nonabsorbent materials. It will not come apart due to moisture. Also, its raised, floating design allows for air and water flow beneath it, which reduces the risk for mold, mildew, and bacteria.

This flooring combines performance and durability. When spills and accidents do occur, the flooring is a breeze to clean with a damp mop, hot water, and common household floor cleaner.
