Is Carpet Bad for Pets?
When it comes to having a pet, it’s important to remember that they are our roommates. They are cohabitants that are unfortunately unable to voice their input or opinions on where they get to live and what conditions they get to live in, so it’s essential that we as homeowners are offering a space that is comfortable for them as well. With that being said, is carpet bad for pets?
The Problems With Carpet
Dust
It is well known that carpets collect an overwhelming amount of dust from your home. Most of this dust is made up of skin cells of not only your pet, but yourself as well. What’s very unfortunate about having flooring that is made up of carpet fibers is that even if you regularly vacuum your carpet, a vast majority of that dust will be unable to come out. Dust on hardwood floors, on the other hand, is relatively much easier to clean and maintain.
Fleas
If your pet has ever been exposed to fleas, there is a good chance that there are dozens if not hundreds more fleas in your carpet. Fleas are attracted to carpet because their eggs are able to go straight to the bottom of the carpet, where they will be able to live for a long time. This will present a major problem for your pet, as well as be a huge headache for you as a homeowner.
What Floors Are Best For My Pet?
Your best option as a pet owner looking for new flooring is engineered hardwood. Not only are engineered hardwood floors easy to maintain and incredibly durable, they also come in a wide variety of colors and finishes that will work with any interior design.
