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.

Houses naturally settle over time, but they should settle uniformly with no apparent settling in one spot. If your floor is uneven but only in a particular area of your home, differential settlement could be the problem. This can be caused by improper drainage, erosion, expanding soil, earthquake activity, or poor construction techniques.

Many types of flooring can cover tiles, including vinyl, vinyl plank, engineered wood, carpet, and hardwood. The most common are various types of vinyl and engineered woods because of their versatility. However, as long as the tile floor is in good condition, you can install a flooring that fits your vision for the space. 

It’s true: Fido’s claws can scratch up your nice engineered hardwood floors since the top layer is made of exposed hardwood. For this reason, pet owners may want to opt for the more durable laminate flooring options that offer the appearance of hardwood without the vulnerability to scuffs and scratches. As a bonus, laminate flooring is also less expensive than engineered hardwood.
