i'm not sure if your question is motivated around the dogs potentially
scratching the floor, or if they pee/shed/put mud on the carpet & you were
hoping this was a solution! :-)
ime, little dogs cannot scratch a wooden floor very much just by running
about - they simply do not weigh enough.
wooden floors do scratch and wear of course, and hence need some care.
polyurethane finishes are awful too - an oiled finish looks better, is
easier to maintain (because it doesn't necessarily need totally re-doing all
at once) but on balance, i prefer carpet, personally. if you like carpet &
just were wondering if wood might somehow be better for the doglets, keep
the carpet. if you do not like the carpet anyway, go for wood - the doglets
will contribute a little to the wear, of course, but then, you get that -
the humans will create scratching and wear as well, probably more than the
dogs will.
dogs tell me they prefer carpet to smooth floors - better grip for running
without slipping ;-)
