Waterproof Flooring for Dogs & Cats

Dog-Friendly

If you ever wondered if COREtec Plus and Pro floors are good for pets, they are. You'll be happy to know COREtec is the best flooring for dogs if you have a puppy or adult pooch living mostly indoors. COREtec's scratch resistance is what makes this work, something impossible with real wood floors. Dogs can easily scratch your floor when they play around your home. This might be due to your dog's sharp nails if you haven't had them clipped lately.

The same can happen when your dog spills food or water in their feeding areas. On a hardwood surface, that food and water could seep into the hardwood plank seams, causing deterioration over time. Also, if your dog isn't fully potty-trained yet, urine stains and unwanted scents are going to permeate your hardwood floor.

Vinyl floors are simply a better choice for dog owners. COREtec floors lead here thanks to the above materials. These floors are also stain-resistant if you clean up immediately after.  COREtec's floor products even hold up to intense "paw" traffic if you have more than one dog. You might have numerous dogs who play over your vinyl floors daily. An acrylic finish surface helps protect in all ways beyond stains. If you have intense human traffic as well, the floor can take a beating and not wear out after a year.

Cat-Friendly

You might have a house full of cats, but what are they doing to your floor if using real hardwood? Those looking for an alternative should know COREtec is the best flooring for cats, no matter how many well-trained felines you have. For cats that pee too much outside their litter box, COREtec is also the best floor on the market. Thanks to the stain-resistant acrylic finish of all COREtec floor brands, cat pee is no problem. Just remember that all stains need cleaning as soon as possible. 

Your cats can do a lot more on your COREtec floor without causing any damage. The first of these is resistance to scratches if you haven't declawed your cats. All cat owners know how sharp cat claws are and how it can lead to irreversible scratches on hardwood surfaces. COREtec floors continue to withstand scratches, and scuffing as well.

Now your cats can play to their hearts' content on your floor without making you nervous. Cat shedding is also better controlled. Cleaning works so easily with COREtec floors that cat fur is no problem. By doing simple sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping, fur is more easily picked up, offering a better alternative to carpeting.

A house full of cats may also mean plenty of spills around their feeding and water bowls. COREtec's patented acrylic finish prevents any of those stains from becoming permanent after a wipe-up. Having a large group of cats in your household may also mean placing as much weight on your vinyl floor as several dogs. The durability of COREtec floors means it takes on considerable weight without denting.  Let's also not forget what it sounds like when cats meow incessantly. This could become a little loud when you have visiting guests. The sound absorption from COREtec's cork underlay helps control this noise so it doesn't sound like an echo chamber in your kitchen or other rooms.

And, your cats will love the comfort of the cork from your COREtec vinyl planks. Playing on hardwood might not feel too comfortable for them, let alone a surface like that being ruined. Your cats can play on COREtec floors for hours and feel as comfortable as playing on a carpet.
