We have Oak throughout the house expect in the basement where we have the Laminate. The average Yorkie will not do an damage to the Hardwood or Laminate with their nails. A Large dog like Carlo destroys the Hardwood with gouges and deep scratches, but does not do any damage to the Laminate. As far as Urine, the key is to wipe it up fast, and not let it set. It can stain the Hardwood depending on the finish, and if it gets between the cracks of the Laminate it can raise the fibers. Nothing like the beauty of Hardwood, and it can be refinished several times. I think ours now looks Distressed....which they sell! |
