3 Ways to Pet Friendly Flooring

We all want a house of our preference but we do want our furry friends as well, so the question is do I have to give up my flooring to compromise my pets or give up my pet? The answer is no, as technology improves, the market has introduced a few range of flooring that is suitable for our furry friends. We shall see how a pet friendly flooring benefits you and your furry friends.

1)  Water Resistant – We humans do have nature call so do our furry friends, though most of us have trained them into a super pet who knows where to do their “big and small business”, but still accidents do occur. Our furry friends are prone to shedding furs every now and then, we have to constantly clean and mop our floor. It would be good if your flooring is water resistant so as water do not sip into your flooring during your daily cleaning and washing of floors.

2)  Easy Maintenance – Pets are just like babies, they are curious on everything they see or moving around them, not surprise if they were to knock down a glass of coffee, you know there are not on purpose, therefore looking for a flooring that is easily maintained is important, just normal cleaning or mopping will do thus you will have more time for your furry friends.

3)  Health Standards – Other than maintaining your flooring, it is important to check for health standards of your flooring. Our furry friends stays home in a enclosed area for the almost the whole day waiting for us to return thus there is a high chance of them exposing to a low health standard flooring which might endanger them, hence it is important to choose a flooring that is low in volatile organic compound (VOC).

Disclaimer:  End of the day, having pet friendly flooring is important, but regular basic hygiene of your pets still comes first. Constant training and love for your pets will bring out the best of it.

Now you have a rough idea of what you need to look for when you have a pet at home, there is no need to compromise any one of them, you can have a stylish living together with your pets, but do remember to check with your contractor when choosing the right quality flooring.
