I am thinking of replacing the carpet in our dining room with laminate
flooring. We have a Labrador, and often have her sister round too, so am
concerned about whether laminate will be too slippery for them to walk on,
and whether their claws will scratch the surface. Are these legitimate
concerns, or is it possible to get laminate that has good canine grip and is
scratch resistant? An alternative to laminate is floorboard pattern sheet
vinyl, but are there any other alternatives that will give us a wood effect
finish?
