sorry. anyway true to form, the cat has sicked up a furball this afternoon, with some vomit for added extra. however it was on the rug. after the rugs get too old looking, i just bin em, lot cheaper than a whole carpet

We've two dogs that LOVE to play in the garden. The french doors to the garden lead off from the living room so I think we will eventually go for carpet, with a Turtle Mat at the door.

Interesting thread though - and I think we are all adult enough to realise what Dave is trying to achieve. I am sure his post will be gone soon enough

I have laminate all over the flat - with a long haired dog and 4 cats sometimes I wish I had carpets all over as the hair is absolutely everywhere and it flies in mid air all the time.

Add to it black glass tables and black leather sofas and you have a full time job just cleaning - hair visible everywhere.

With carpets it kind of lies on the carpet/gets in without flying around... I think...

Sigh....

We have laminate, the pups not had any problems and as he's only a tiny thing there's no clip clopping either, and much easier to clean up his accidents

We've got carpet - in a previous house we had laminate and several times the three legged cat came flying down the stairs at the speed that can only be achieved by a cat in the presence of a food bowl, failed to corner and went smack into the front door!

Yes I'm forever hoovering but the carpets do actually come up clean under the hair on an intensive setting on the hoover.

I have french doors like this, outside you go straight on to the patio, then the first 30 foot of the garden is gravelled.... but he still manages to walk mud in! I'm going to be changing my carpet to laminate - probably the engineered one - in a month or so as I'm tired of shampooing carpets! Mats never made any difference, he sees them as a long jump! :rotfl:I did have laminate in my last house with ceramic tiles in the kitchen. The ceramic tiles looked good, but broke whenever I dropped anything on them. I now have onyx tiles in my kitchen which are brilliant, but very very expensive. The laminate slowed the dane down a little, but she learnt quickly and easily how to deal with it, never had any problems.

I have 3 dogs, 1 giant 1 large and 1 small. My entire downstairs is wooden or tiles. I prefer this to carpet.

We have been debating about completely tiling the lounge floor.

We have a small cottage and 11 dogs :eek::eek: so were wondering if this could be the answer. We know we would have to put down rugs in the winter. Anyone else got floor tiles throughout?
