We have hardwood everywhere the dogs don't go regularly. We do have carpeting upstairs, but the dogs are rarely there. We've also got some tile and there is vinyl in the kitchen and mudroom. We were trying to make it a dog friendly house. Now I'm wondering if we wouldn't be better off with all hardwood with area rugs. Tile isn't a great choice for us. Our dogs can barely walk on the dry tile. I can only imagine the circus that would ensue during the winter when most of the floors have wet paw prints on them every time the dogs come inside. Grimm kinds splays out his feet and walks like a 100 year old man when he has to walk on the tile.
