have experience of engineered wood flooring? Is it just as slippy and
noisy as laminate?

yes.

Indeed it is, and dogs claws (if they're big dogs) "distress" an
engineered wood floor very quickly however dogs themselves don't have
problems with either surface.
They have completely independent 4x4 drive system all intelligently linked.

We have a Greatdane x greyhound now 14 yrs old whos hips are weakening
and he's been fine on the floor for the last 4 years.

The smaller chiohouha x thing also has no problems, so slippery isn't an
issue for dogs as long as the dog has 4 legs.
