The best flooring for animals is one which offers comfort, safety and is easy to clean. It also needs to be durable to withstand their sharp nails, shedding hair, dirty paws and smelly accidents.
Pet-friendly flooring can be used both at home and commercially.

There are a variety of options to consider. We’ve broken it down for you.
Artificial Turf

This is best suited for your backyard or a doggie grooming salon.
Pros:
- Indoor/outdoor installation
- Non-toxic
- Great playground for pets: Pet turf is both comfortable for pets to roll around on and durable enough to withstand their rough play.
Cons:
- The artificial turf will get warmer than natural grass in direct sunlight but can be cooled with the use of a hose.
