Are there any dog friendly flooring options that are carpetless?

Asked by Unbroken (10746points) March 2nd, 2013

My mom’s birthday is coming up and while cleaning her house since I was dog sitting for her. I have been brainstorming.

Her flooring is old I would say circa the late 60’s early 70’s. She has serious dust and pet allergies, the dog bugs her but with good food daily brushing olive oil and baths she manages.

She has mentioned how much better she would feel if all the carpeting were stripped and her dream is to go carpetless.

I think her husband’s rottweiler may not fare well on a hard wood floor. Mobility and comfortwise and possibly aging but I am not an expert on that.

When she plays with the laser light she paws at the floor a bit. Skids and twists and turns on her paws. She also has some huge bones she loves to plop around the floor. So resistent to scarring heavy wear and tear.

Has anyone found a flooring option that fits most of the criteria?
