I'm going to share some great flooring options for your furry friend!
Finding the right flooring for a dog can be tricky.
I know the feeling – I have a Westie and I used to worry about how slippery our hardwood floors were.
Hardwood floors can be really slippery for dogs, especially as they get older.
There are actually 4 things you can do to solve this problem.
１、Lay down carpets and rugs!
This is effective. Since it's a carpet, the areas where it’s placed won’t be slippery.
However, since dogs tend to dirty the floor in various ways, it needs to be washable.
While the rug doesn't slip, it's difficult to cover the entire floor, and when it gets dirty, you’ll have to buy a new one.
That’s why I recommend tile carpets.

They are easy to remove, so you can wash the dirty parts, or replace that section.
One of the features of residential tile carpets is that the backside has a non-slip
surface, so even when your dog runs around energetically, they won’t easily shift.
While the initial cost may feel a bit expensive, in the long run,
washable and replaceable tile carpets are definitely worth it.
You can also place them in smaller areas like hallways or stairs, making them very easy to handle.
Additionally, I recommend the cut-pile type, as it prevents your dog's nails from getting caught.

2、Lay down Flotex (sheets)!!!
The tile carpet "Flotex," which is already being used in hotels that allow dogs,
has a short pile surface, making it difficult for nails to get caught.
It's also designed to resist stains, so even if there’s an accident, the mess won’t easily soak in.
The carpet is easy to clean, making maintenance simple.
The highly-rated Flotex, with a ★★★★★ five-star evaluation, also excels in design.
It offers popular wood grain patterns, and the marble-look tile carpets add a touch of luxury!
What makes me happiest is that it doesn’t slip, even when they run around energetically.
When I saw them running around happily, I knew this was the one!
Flotex sheets are also available.

3、Lay down pet-friendly cushion flooring!!
When it comes to flooring for pets, pet-friendly cushion flooring is extremely well-known!
It features odor-absorbing properties and a non-slip surface designed with your dog’s joints and paws in mind!
Here’s the translation:
Moreover, it's incredibly cost-effective!
These days, it's not uncommon for pet owners to DIY their floors for their dogs.
And as for cutting the material, don’t worry—it’s super easy to cut with just a utility knife!
However, this product is primarily designed for small dogs, so it might be a bit too weak for large dogs...
But for small dogs, it's perfect! For breeds like Westies or medium-sized dogs, it’s just about right.
▽ Cushion flooring comes in a variety of types! You can find a wide range of patterns below ▽
4、Lay down non-skid (anti-slip vinyl floor sheets)!!
For owners of large dogs who often find that cushion flooring wears out quickly,
I frequently get asked for recommendations. In such cases, I suggest non-skid!
It's a long-sheet vinyl flooring commonly used in places like apartment entrances, hallways, and balconies.
The surface is treated to be non-slip to prevent falls, and
it's highly durable since it's designed for high-traffic areas.
In fact, it’s frequently used by breeders and pet shops. It's becoming increasingly
popular among homeowners who want to install it for their dogs.
With the introduction of wood-like designs, it has become quite versatile for home use.
And of course, it's suitable for small dogs as well, so you can use it with confidence.
However, it is quite heavy.
▽ There are many patterns that are more suitable for home use than you might think!

5、Lay down cork tiles!!
Cork tiles, a beloved natural material for years! If you’re committed to using natural materials, this is the choice for you.
The benefits of cork tiles include their elasticity, making them comfortable to walk on and preventing cold sensations.
If you’re worried that cork, being soft, might wear out quickly, rest assured.
Cork is slip-resistant, resistant to scratches, and its elasticity is well-regarded.
However, if accidents happen and you can’t clean them up immediately,
odors may linger, so keep that in mind as a potential drawback!
6、Recently, rubber tiles have gained popularity through word of mouth!!
Do you know about rubber tiles?
They are flooring made from rubber, designed to be easy on the joints and slip-resistant.
These tiles are often used in sports gyms due to their elasticity,
which reduces strain on the feet, making it easier for dogs to walk and run around the house.
Another advantage is that they’re not carpet-based, so you can simply wipe off any dirt from the surface!
With a compact size of 50cm × 50cm, you just need to lay them out side by side. They’re relatively easy to install!
From large dogs to small ones, all dogs will love this flooring. Just take a look! Here’s a Westie in relaxed mode!
I was worried that the rubber material might bother the dogs with odors, but it wasn’t an issue at all!
Dog owners’ worries were completely unfounded—after all, there are plenty of rubber toys out there!
