For pet-friendly homes, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is generally a better flooring choice than laminate. LVP has superior scratch resistance, excellent moisture tolerance, and cleans up quickly, which is ideal for dogs. While high-quality waterproof laminate can work, LVP offers better durability and moisture protection. Opting for mid-tier or better LVP planks ensures long-lasting performance against pet wear. This choice minimizes damage risks from claws and accidents, keeping floors looking fresh and easy to maintain.
