Over the past 6 weeks I've gradually removed all the carpets in the house
and replaced them with laminate flooring. I'm down to just the kitchen
and dining room, and then all I will have left are the stairs from the
main floor to the second floor.

Having lived with laminate for a few weeks what is evident is that the
(little) dogs we have are not very comfortable. The product is quite
slippery for them and their toenails and they have a tough time getting
up and down from furniture, the bed, etc.

What I'm worried about is the stairs. I can't see where they would be
able to get up or down at all. Some of the options I've considered:

- carpet the stairs - to me this would seem odd because it would be the
only carpet remaining on the top 2 floors of the house
- laminate the stairs and install a "runner" down the middle 12 inches of
the stairs
- laminate the stairs and find a "safety tread" to install on the
bullnose or the step of each stair

Any ideas or comments that would help me out on this one?
