PET FLOORING
Flooring for pets
Compare 3 options
A floor that is harder to slip on eases strain on your pet’s legs and joints, helping them stay active for longer. Start by looking at the feel and features of each option.
Cushion flooring
A vinyl sheet flooring that covers the floor. Its fine surface texture helps prevent slipping, while the cushioning layer softens impact and noise.
Its main strength is water resistance. Accidents and spills can be wiped away without leaving a trace. It also offers the widest choice of colors and textures.
Prices shown exclude tax and the 10% service fee.
Non-skid flooring
A flooring option with a coarse textured surface, designed to prioritize slip resistance. It helps prevent slipping when running, stopping, and changing direction.
It is water-resistant and can be wiped clean. It resists furniture marks and is durable. It has no cushioning, so choose another floor if softness is a priority.
Prices shown exclude tax and the 10% service fee.
Carpet tiles
Square carpet pieces laid side by side. The pile catches claws, making this the most slip-resistant option when starting to run. It also absorbs footsteps and impact well, and stays warm in winter.
If a tile gets dirty, remove and wash or replace that one piece. Unlike the other two options, there is no need to replace the whole floor.
Prices shown exclude tax and the 10% service fee.
