Pets can be damaging to your carpet. Pick one out that can stand up to the needs of your four-legged friends. Your pets love comfy carpet as much as you do, but they are rougher on it than you are. 

Have you ever watched a Mastiff drool? There is a lot of damage and wear and tear that animals can do to your carpet. Shedding, dander, claws, playtime, and accidents are all part of pet ownership. The best carpet for pets offers stain resistance and durability. 

Check out our blog on the five types of carpets as today we recommend solution-dyed polyester carpet with its lifetime stain warranty. These carpets are less expensive than nylon, with all the inherent benefits of nylon. 

Pets like carpets for their non-slip surface where they can roll over, lay down, and play. We have four brands of carpet at Floors For Less that work well with your four-legged friends.

Lonesome Oak-- 
These carpets are solution-dyed polyester carpets with excellent warranties. These carpets resist permanent staining from most common household food and beverages. 

Stain Resistant: 
The commercial-grade carpets at Floors For Less come with a lifetime stain warranty. Pets will test the stain resistance of your carpet multiple times throughout their life. Carpets that are made for pets are designed to prevent stains from soaking through to the carpet padding, where moisture can grow bacteria and mold. Stain-resistant materials keep your carpet looking nicer longer, so you will not have to replace it as frequently. 

Some stain-resistant carpets are treated with a chemical coating to protect and give the material moisture-wicking properties. You can often clean spills and accidents with just soap and water, making for effortless clean-up. Spills should always be tended to right away. 

These carpets all have stain resistance. Solution-dyed polyester carpets naturally resist pet odors, soil, and mildew, which helps keep it clean no matter what your furry companion tracks inside. The solution-dyed polyester carpets at Floors for Less offer you all the benefits of nylon, with the better prices. 

Durability: 
When you have pets in your home, you must choose a durable carpet. Durability is a crucial factor in determining a carpet that agrees with your furry friends. Both dogs and cats like to run, stretch, scratch and play on the carpet, which adds to your carpet's wear and lifespan. Durability depends on the style of the carpet as well as the material it is made of. With our varieties at Floors for Less, the solution-dyed polyester carpets are your best choice. 

The best carpet you can choose depends on the type of pet that you have, the playfulness and agility of your pet, and the wear and tear your pet brings to your carpet. Based on the above criteria, you can choose solution-dyed polyester and be incredibly happy with your choice. Stop in our showroom, and we will be glad to help you pick out a carpet that works with your four-legged family members.
