Four Tips for Hardwood Floors & Pets

By San Diego Roofing

If you have pets hardwood flooring can be easier to maintain than carpeting.

Hardwood floors can be a great option for pet owners. Hardwood floors don't contain fibers to trap or retain allergens such as microorganisms and pet dander, making them a better choice for pet owners.

Selecting a Wood For Your Pets

A hardwood flooring that is in good repair is not a problem. It is important to consider your pet's needs and the beauty of your home.

If you have a pet, a more difficult wood is best.

You can choose a satin or matte finish for your floors once they are done.

Use Rugs For High-Traffic Areas

Protect floors where people or pets frequent. Don't use rubber back rugs. They can cause permanent damage.

Put a rug underneath the pet's food to absorb any spills. If the rug gets damp, replace it immediately.

Fido is not the only thing to worry about. Move your litter box to an area with hardwood flooring, or put a mat under it.

Cats Injuries on Wood Floors

There are many things that can go wrong.

Maintain Your Dog's Nails Trimmed

This will protect your wood floors from damage. Imagine the sensation your feet will have if you don't trim your toenails.

You can have any type of flooring, but pets can cause damage.
