We love our pets, but we don’t always love what they do to our floors. From muddy paws tracked in after a rainy Dayton afternoon to the occasional "accident," your flooring takes a beating.
At A & B Flooring, we specialize in helping Huber Heights pet owners find the perfect balance between a beautiful home and a pet-friendly environment.
The Reigning Champ: Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
If you have large dogs, Luxury Vinyl Plank is your best friend. Its thick, durable wear layer is designed to resist scratches from even the most energetic claws. Because it is 100% waterproof, you don’t have to worry about water bowl splashes or house-training mishaps soaking into the core.
Pet-Friendly Carpeting
Think you can’t have carpet with pets? Think again! Modern innovations like triexta fibers and solution-dyed nylons are virtually stain-proof. Many of the carpets we carry at A & B Flooring feature "spill shield" technology that prevents liquids from reaching the cushion. Look for "pet-perfect" labels that specifically address odor resistance and easy hair removal.
Hardwood and Pets: It is Possible!
If you have your heart set on hardwood, we recommend choosing a species with a high Janka Hardness Rating, such as Hickory or Oak. A wire-brushed texture is also a smart move for pet owners, as the intentional grain texture helps hide minor scuffs and scratches better than a smooth, high-gloss finish.
Let us bring the samples to you! Avoid the stress of dragging the whole family to a showroom. Our shop-at-home service lets you see how our most durable samples stand up to your pets right in your own living room. Visit our flooring store in Huber Heights, OH today.
