Pet Friendly Carpets

Pet friendly carpet is one of the most searched flooring categories in the UK and it’s easy to understand why. Dogs, cats and other pets are part of the family, but they bring with them a specific set of challenges for flooring including claws, accidents, shedding and the kind of energetic everyday use that pushes a standard carpet beyond its limits quickly. Choosing the right pet friendly carpet means finding a construction that can handle all of that while still looking good and feeling comfortable underfoot.

The most important qualities in a pet friendly carpet are durability, ease of cleaning and resistance to odour and staining. Dense, low pile constructions tend to perform best in homes with pets because they offer less opportunity for claws to catch and fibres to pull, while their tighter surface makes cleaning more effective and prevents pet hair from embedding deeply into the pile. Stain resistant and bleach cleanable constructions are particularly valuable for pet owners, offering the ability to treat accidents quickly and thoroughly without damaging the carpet. Darker tones and tonal textures are also worth considering, as they naturally conceal pet hair between cleans and show everyday marks less readily than lighter shades. Our pet friendly carpet collection is chosen specifically with animal-owning households in mind, covering constructions, fibre types and colours that have been selected because they perform reliably in the real conditions that pets create, without asking you to compromise on how your home looks.
