Answer
Yes, luxury vinyl plank flooring is generally more resistant to pets and water damage compared to hardwood floors. LVP’s water-resistant properties make it less susceptible to warping or staining from spills or accidents. It also resists scratching from pet claws better than wood surfaces, making it a practical choice for homes with pets or high moisture areas. Combining LVP’s durability with a structurally sound subfloor offers a long-lasting, pet-friendly floor solution.
