Ours are 90-95 percent housetrained with the occasional accident. We also foster...and those are always accidents waiting to happen.
According to some of the flooring people we have talked to they say that hardwoods are better for accidents because there is more moisture in the wood naturally and would not absorb as much urine, just to be sure to keep a good seal on it.
The laminate folks say theirs is better due to dog nails etc..(not like Yorkies are massive, but the running and scampering could leave marks on the hardwoods.
Any suggestions? Thanks! |
Hardwood is better,if it scratches,you can sand it down and fix it.Laminate looks good,but it sucks,it is only like 1/16 inch thick,if you get a scratch in it,you cant sand it down and fix it.Go with the hardwood.
