More families have a pet than not, but many of us don’t actually have homes that are terribly suitable for man’s best friend. A large percentage of UK households own a cat or dog, not to mention other small pets like guinea pigs and hamsters. There are more than 10.3 million cats and 10.5 million dogs in the country, so it makes sense that you want to make some adjustments to make your home a little more suitable.
One of the biggest problems (after puppy training problems) is your pet’s nails. Dog nails can be notoriously difficult to trim, as they generally do not appreciate holding their feet, and it can also be very easy to slip and cut the claw too much, leading to bleeding and pain. Laminate and hardwood floors could get scratched if the nails are especially long and if your dog runs around the house a lot (which they likely are).
Pets will lose hair too, especially in the spring and summer months. This can be a problem with textile rugs, as the hairs twist in the fibers and even a vacuum cleaner will have a hard time removing them.
Vinyl floors like Rhino Floor are a great option for anyone with a pet looking for a more suitable flooring solution. Rhino Floor is durable and long-lasting, as well as easy to maintain. Just swipe up and loose hairs, and use a mop to clean up any spills and splashes of liquid.
Rhino flooring is a good choice for bathrooms and kitchens, because it doesn’t matter if it comes in contact with moisture, which is obviously quite prominent in any of these settings.
Another benefit of these types of flooring is that because they are soft and cushioned, they are scratch and tooth resistant. They will also soften the sound of your pet’s claws as he walks on the floor, so you won’t have to deal with the little tapping sounds that you might associate with having a pet.
Rhino flooring is an exceptional option, and not just because it’s easy to clean up after your pet. It is also durable and sturdy, as well as stylish. Quality flooring is available in a wide variety of designs, so you are sure to find something to suit your style, even if you were previously looking at real wood or stone.
