Types of Pet Friendly Flooring
In Singapore, it appears that 40% of households have pets. It is thus always best to find a pet-friendly flooring option that is suitable for our little companions. Pets can cause several problems in our homes. These problems might come as a result of their untrimmed nails, which result in the scratching of the floors. Pets that are not properly toilet trained might end up creating a mess around the house and staining the flooring of the house.
Here are a few pet friendly flooring options you can choose from:
Pet Friendly Flooring #1: Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is largely pet friendly due to its durability and high water-resistant qualities. In fact, it is one of the most recommended pet friendly flooring options for cats and dogs. Newer collections of vinyl flooring now come with extra thickness and that is an added advantage. Vinyl flooring option is water-resistant and withstands wear and tear. Another reason why this type of flooring is recommended for pet owners is because even if your pet urinates or vomits on the floor, it can be easily cleaned without leaving any stains. Also, padded vinyl flooring conceals the irritating sound of your pet’s nails as they move around.
