I see a lot of questions, just like the problem I am having. I have an older dog that is having seizures and has ruined my downstairs carpeting. I have been researching different options, but everything I come up with seems to be don’t let it get wet. In a family with children and pets how do you keep flooring from getting any liquid on it. I also do not have a lot of money to spend so I need to make the right decision. Thanks for any input.

Hello,

Our carpet was ruined by dogs and cats.

Now we have to replace it. What would you suggest for a household with 3 German Shepherds and 6 cats.

The present foundation under the carpeting is plywood. We have to replace the livingroom and diningroom and bedroom carpets.

Thank you for any budget conscious suggestion.

I am turning my attached garage into a family room with a pool table. It will be where we will spend most of our time and we have a dog. my question is what would be the best floor to install without laying a sub floor and we dont want carpet my wife likes laminate and tile but we are not sure if tile can withstand pool balls coming off the table. either way laminate or tile will be cold please help

Lois,
I would suggest using 18×18 in tiles and consider installing them on a diagonal. I would try to end up with at least 3-4 tiles for future use, if needed. Good luck.

We are getting ready to tile an 11 by 14 kitchen. We want it to blend in well with the living room. What size tile would make the kitchen look larger ? We were thinking perhaps a 14 square or 18 inch square. We need your advice.
How much extra should we buy to cover for the maintance ? Thanks, Lois

I have the same problem! I also have a pool and the dogs (and myself) are hard on the floors. I have a concrete slab and there are a couple big cracks (about 1/4 to 1/2″ wide and there is a difference in their levels). I live in AZ. I’m thinking tile, but was wondering if I had any options?

Danny: My husband and I have 6 dogs in our home. During the day when we are at work they are crated. Our entire home is covered in wall to wall carpeting. Because of the number of pets that we have the constant upkeep on the carpet we wanted to remove the carpet and put in something that will hold better with our pets. What do you recommend?
