Pet Friendly Carpet

Dog on carpet representing pet friendly carpet To some extent, you can find pet friendly carpet. It's all about the carpet's criteria such as type of carpet fiber used, carpet construction method, and the type of carpet backing used. For example:

You should choose a dense and durable carpet. These carpets are more likely to stand up to your dog's digging or cat's clawing.
You should choose a carpet fiber with built–in stain resistance that can't be washed off.
You should carpet backings have a moisture resistant shield that prevents pet accidents from leaking to the carpet backing.
If your pet sheds a lot, you should choose a carpet in the same color range as your pet’s hair to disguise hair until it is vacuumed.
You should not choose a looped carpet as pet’s nails can catch on the carpet’s loops.

So, as you can see, it's hard to say that one particular carpet is pet friendly and another is not, as there are so many factors to consider depending on what annoying habits your pet may have. What I can say for sure is that all carpet provides a comfortable surface that is easy on pet’s joints and is non–slip when compared to hard flooring surfaces such as hardwood, laminate, and tile floors. However, with any carpet, the longer pet accidents sit, the less likely they are to completely come out. Immediate cleanup of pet accidents is required, even with carpets that are considered pet friendly carpets.

One carpet collection that I consider to be pet friendly is Mohawk’s SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona renewable sourced polymer. SmartStrand is made with a unique fiber called PTT, which was recently classified by the Federal Trade Commission in its own subclass called triexta carpet fibers. Triexta fibers have built–in stain resistance that cannot be washed off, requiring no chemical treatments during manufacturing and eliminating the need to reapply stain protection treatments. Triexta carpet fibers are also very durable and resilient.

I too have big doggies and thanks for the help. I was going back and forth with the idea of installing carpets in my home or installing vinyl. I learned vinyl is really awesome too but I love the warmth carpet brings (literally I live in a place that's very cold!) Thanks for the carpet advice!

Glad you found found my blog helpful Eric and Donna! Vinyl too is a good pet friendly flooring choice, but you will miss the warmth of that carpet can provide.

I chose vinyl over carpet for my pet friendly floor ideas. With dogs who are inside and outside I thought vinyl would be the better choice! I just want to avoid stains all together on carpet from muddy paws.Vinyl flooring seems to avoid the stains! Great blog! Thanks!

I think I just found the best pet friendly carpet seeing a Rhino just lived on it for two weeks! I'm still expecting the Rhino to turn into David Copperfield or something because that Mohawk SmartStrand is magical! Have pets? Get that Mohawk carpet....how many other carpets can survive a freakin Rhino!?
