Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a thick, high-quality vinyl that joins with click-lock edges. Unlike some budget vinyl flooring, it’s tough, easy to install, and scratch-resistant. While this means it’s much less likely to get damaged by your dog’s claws, it isn’t scratch-proof. Regularly trimming long dog nails reduces the risk of scratch marks and helps keep your dog comfortable.
