Are Flooret Floors Pet-Friendly?

Every Flooret floor is built to handle life with pets, and every collection meets strict indoor air quality standards. Modin is the most forgiving choice for households with frequent or hard-to-spot accidents, thanks to its 100% waterproof core.

  • Modin LVP: excellent scratch resistance, 100% waterproof, the highest accident tolerance
  • Arista Laminate: excellent scratch resistance, water-resistant, wipe accidents promptly
  • Silvan Resilient Hardwood: good scratch resistance, topically waterproof, wipe accidents promptly
  • Provence Natural Hardwood: moderate scratch resistance, not waterproof, clean up accidents immediately

Modin LVP

The 40 mil wear layer (20 mil on Base) stands up to years of claw traffic, and the 100% waterproof SPC core means accidents never reach the subfloor, no matter how long they sit. For large or active breeds, the 40 mil Signature and Craftsman collections offer more protection than Base. If your household includes pets with frequent or hard-to-spot accidents, Modin is the most forgiving choice we make.

Arista Laminate

AC5-rated with Level 4 scratch resistance, the hardest surface in our lineup, plus an antimicrobial surface tested at over 99% effective against common bacteria. Arista is water-resistant rather than waterproof, so wipe accidents promptly. If accidents often go unnoticed for extended periods, Modin's waterproof core is the safer pick.

Silvan Resilient Hardwood

A 0.6mm FSC-certified hardwood surface that's more durable than traditional engineered hardwood and handles everyday claw traffic from small to medium breeds well. Large or very active dogs will show wear faster on any real wood. Keep nails trimmed and wipe spills promptly. While Silvan is topically waterproof, spills left for extended periods can eventually work through the seams of the planks if unaddressed.

Provence Natural Hardwood

Genuine European White Oak with a sawn veneer thick enough to sand and refinish, making it a fine choice for calmer or smaller animals. Standing water can permanently damage natural wood, so accidents need immediate cleanup, and claw marks show more visibly than on vinyl or laminate. The upside is unique to real wood: character marks blend in over time, and the floor can be renewed.

 
Tips for Any Floor: Clean up accidents promptly. Even waterproof floors benefit. Keep nails trimmed. It's the single biggest factor in scratch prevention. Use rugs or mats at food stations, doors, and sleeping spots. Skip steam mops. Steam forces moisture into seams regardless of waterproofing. Use a damp mop instead.
 

Common Questions

Will dog nails scratch Modin or Arista?
Micro-scratches are possible on any floor over time, but both handle claw traffic exceptionally well and marks typically aren't visible from standing height. Both also feature embossed-in-register texture, which helps disguise minor marks.

My pet had an accident I didn't find for hours. Is the floor ruined?
On Modin, no. The waterproof core protects the subfloor. On Arista and Silvan, clean it up and check for swelling at the seams. On Provence, inspect carefully and email us photos at support@flooret.com if you see damage.

Are Flooret floors safe for pets?
Yes. Modin is FloorScore Certified with no detected phthalates or heavy metals in testing. Arista is FloorScore Certified with an antimicrobial surface. Silvan carries Greenguard Gold, and Provence is FloorScore Certified. Every collection meets strict indoor air quality standards.

Can I use a wet mop for pet messes?
A damp mop works on every collection. Avoid soaking the floor or letting water pool at joints and never use a steam mop on any floor type.
