I'd really advise you not to use laminate if you have dogs. You may
be able to clear up their spit but you will end up with vet bills for
broken limbs. The dog has no grip at all on the laminate and slides all
over the place - this looks very funny at first but after you have seen
your pet legs spread eagled and limping then you realise its not a good
option. We have had ours down just 3 months and are going to replace it
because our dog is suffering so badly. Some dog rescue centres in the
UK will not house dogs to families who have laminate flooring....
If i find a good alternative i will let you know !!!!
