Re: [pyrnet] Best puppy-proof flooring?

[christinecvs@aol.com]

I put down laminate flooring (Torlys brand).  It has been great - Cody hasn't made a dent in the floor.  The only thing is that he sometimes becomes scared and won't walk on the floor, so I have runners down.  If all of the rugs are up to wash the floor, he is stuck.  He will actually crawl until he reaches carpet - quite funny to watch!

When I was shopping for floors, I took home the samples that the stores will lend out to check for colours in your own home's light.  I then took a screwdriver and tried to mark up the samples and that the one I couldn't penetrate is the one I bought.

I have read that bamboo can be a soft wood and mars easily. I don't think it
is a wood that would work with big dogs. I am planning a kitchen re-do (it
is now carpeted - previous owner) and I am looking at either a stone or tile
floor. I had tile in my previous house and I loved it.
