Laminate is not the best choice for dog owners. It is better than wood as there aren’t almost any claw marks but is so slippery for old dogs.

Here is our neighbor Otto, 10-year old mixed breed dog, trying hard to get up.

Pergo flooring might be better as Michelle is saying in the previous post. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience about that floor yet but hopefully some day. 

If you are thinking about getting laminated floor, please think again.

The duvet set I ordered from eBay arrived yesterday. Fast delivery.

I’m trying to do my best to get my new house look nice + having textures + everything else “dog friendly”. My last place had wooden floor and in couple of years it looked quite bad. The laminate floor that I have here in my new place is ok, no claw marks, but it is quite slippery for older dogs (like Otto who is visiting us all the time. I need to help him get up). In the kitchen I have wooden floor but after moving in I covered it up with plastic matting that looks like wooden floor. It has been excellent because I have a big pond in the front yard and boys can be quite wet when they came back inside. Laminate will not last for long if it gets wet, nor wooden floor.

In the hallway I have tile floor which is good too but in Finland it needs heating system (during the winter) and can be quite expensive in the long run.
