The video seemed to only be concerned about scratches from pet. However, that is just a really small portion an owner of dogs that live in their home are concerned about. I clicked on the video thinking it would cover floors that are not as slippery for dogs, one that is not detrimental to their health (ie....hips) and one that assist with pee for those with new puppies and are training. Those that I mentioned are the most important. AFTER all of that is addressed, THEN we car about the scratches. Therefore, the video wasn't truly helpful in the scheme of things. I hope a better video is put up in the future. One that is actually helpful. Oh and it would need to include the names. Otherwise, why post?!?
True, I was looking for textured wood options that are safe for dogs as in they won't slip. Having a dog that has torn her cruciate ligaments in her knees and needed TPLO surgery, I found a whole community of people who have dogs that have had knee surgery and can't have slippery floors. Also dogs can slip and tear the ligaments in their knees with those slippery floors. So I would think that dog friendly floors would not only be durable from scratches but also less slippery to protect your dog from slipping and injuring their hips or knees.
I thought they would talk about how pets can walk on these surfaces. We have laminate. My dog, a black lab, cannot walk on slippery surfaces at all, we had to carpet the stairs as she would fall.
Kyra Renee seriously! I've physically looked and felt all of these types of flooring and every single one of them are so slick. My Great Dane would be doing the splits! How in the hell can they say these are even close to being pet friendly???
They always look at this from the human perspective of scratches and crap. After having my dog injure her back after a bad slip and fall on the laminate floors in my new house, I’m pretty much going to carpet or carpet tiles.
I can say from installing it that tile is very labor intensive. Do a bathroom or a kitchen first before planning to do a living room on your own. Get familiar with just how much work it takes before committing to a large area
Stay away from laminate real wood flooring if you have pet dogs. Vinyl is the right choice guys. Dogs urinate and will stain the seams and if they are low-end wood laminates, the "top finish" will peel off. And this was from a small 10 pounds dog, imagine a 30-pound dog, haha, complete destruction. You have been warned, guys
Tile tile tile. I breed German Shepherds and the puppies are happy little potties. Tile is by far the easiest cleanup by far and it doesn’t allow pee to soak into it as quickly.
Why can I not find tile looking floors in laminate for my kitchen which is 15x25 .I had a leak from my fridge and it ruined my floors.I love the ease of care of my laminate floors .Retired and they are easy care .I live in VA and no places seem to have anything here
If you have cats.... stainless steel. Trust me... if you have cats those damn things are pissing somewhere and you will not notice until it gets humid.
My 2 dogs managed to crack tile when dropping their dog bones. Unless the tiles were installed improperly and thats what really caused them to break apart? I would not recommend tiles if you have bigger dogs. Also if you have hardwood floors and the dogs might happen to have an accident while you are at work, and the wood is not sealed properly the wood will warp. So I guess laminate would be (my) best option? I will Never go with carpet. Lol
might have been nice if they showed a couple of real, solid, 3/4 inch hardwood examples, not just engineered or laminates. Real floors are tried and true. They stand up to animals human and otherwise- 40 yrs in floor biz
Don't ever go with wood or laminate if you have a dog. The whole thing about this "scratches" thing doesn't take into account the pet's health. On a shiny, slippery surface your pet will experience hip problems earlier in life and it can mess with paws. If you can REALLY easily slide across it in socks or your pet does what you see in videos about them whining at new floor.... You're hurting your pet. If you're remodeling and have a pet you should always try to go for a matte or textured surface to reduce slippage and also have carpet runners.
Just installed Cortec LVP 6 months ago and my dog has completely ruined it scratches really easy . Hard to clean mislead by salesman this is not commercial grade .
Hi Thea, This is Mike Patino. I am the man in this video. I have been a flooring professional for over 20 years, I would be happy to discuss with you your opinions and experiences that prompted you to write such a scathing review. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help provide a more informative video. Thanks for watching and your comments.
I thought you did a fine job. Thea didn't give any actual info to even know what she disagreed with. What is your opinion on the waterproof LVP flooring? Any issues with water getting under it?
:23 they are FINE for pets. My Aierdale is def FINE with hardwood floors. Freaked out Insecure Neurotic and Emotional. Carpet has and always will be her safe place. #stopthestress
this guy is a sales man and is wrong....i am an architect and ALL ENGINEERED HARDWOODS scratch very easy. i would stay away from them all if you have dogs.
bamboo is a terrible option...it is not as durable nor hard as advertised. Our's is 10 years old, had a 25 year warranty, and of course the company went out of business. The finish is shot and you cannot refinish...DON'T buy.
Hi Cindy, Thanks for viewing our video and for your feedback. Please note that I did not recommend normal bamboo. I recommended Strand Bamboo. This is a much different product than normal bamboo. It is comprised of strands of bamboo mixed with a very hard and durable resin. Traditional Bamboo floors are very inconsistent in their hardness ranking. This is primarily because of the inconsistent quality control in the manufacturing process in China. The bottom 1/3" of the bamboo stalk is much harder than the upper 2/3's of the stalk. Manufacturers of high quality bamboo are supposed to use only the bottom 1/3 of the stalk.Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

They worry about the scratches but not about the damage slipping can do to your animals.

So I would think that dog friendly floors would not only be durable from scratches but also less slippery to protect your dog from slipping and injuring their hips or knees.
I was hoping for dog pee poured on each sample and left for 24 hrs and then a close examination of each sample...

Laminate is a disaster
Apparently Pergo Outlast + is textured to avoid slippage - there are some videos on UA-cam

As a dog gets older, floors become a problem. Our oldies do not cope with laminate
Well, it would have been nice if there were brand names in the description box
So no carpet, tile, vinyl, or LVT?
Our bunnies would slip and slide on these floors...lol
Looks like they are thinking about the health of the floor, not that of the pet. Strange.

What about dog urine? That’s the most important parts with dealing with the pets. But I liked your wood looking ceramic tile idea

Just google laminate tile, lots of options come up. Builddirect is a good online source if you can't find it locally.
I did they only have wood look and googled tile look laminate also .Home depot had some but it was limited stock and was not enough for my kitchen
How do you avoid being walked all over and price gouged by flooring contractors?
Bring a quite from another flooring store so they can compete for the best price

Thank you! I love my pug more than anything and I didn't know he would have trouble with smooth floors. I will get textured for sure.
Glad I could help! Its more common in larger dogs than smaller ones but regardless its generally better to get some textures in there. =)
Very true. Regretting it now
yes, I was hoping this was going to show hard floor options that were non slip and allowed your dog to grip the floor.....

@@atomicfusionvideo Vinyl is cheaper and more waterproof.
Is laminated floor us suitable for cats?
Can we say F me pumps. She knew what she was doing.

She should have left those shoes at the store.
What is going on with her outfit?
This is about flooring products, and you are looking at her clothes? You have some serious issues! Grow up!
Mary 117 Those shoes are hideous with that outfit.
I felt the same way, not to mention horizonal strips not the thing for someone who is a little "Hippie". Just sayin...
It's one of those illuminati outfits
No LVP?
This video is so wrong wrong wrong... half true half false... don't assign any merit to this BS
What about dog urine and mess resistance? Useless salesvideo
