Our furry friends bring bundles of joy to our homes, but they can be tough on floors. That means we need a surface that’s scratch-resistant, water-resistant, easy to clean, and safe. It needs to be long-lasting and comfortable too. There’s plenty to consider…

With pets in the family, there are extra features to think about when choosing a new floor. You need something that makes life easier while keeping your furry companion comfortable. Amtico luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is designed with both in mind. It’s a hard-wearing flooring solution that stays looking great for years – even with pets in the house.
Read on for five reasons why Amtico LVT is ideal for a home with pets.
1. Scratch Resistance Surfaces for Active Paws
We give our pet dogs and cats the run of our homes. And pets such as rabbits or guinea pigs that live in a cage or hutch will enjoy the occasional indoor adventure too. But it goes without saying that animals’ claws can scratch some less-durable surfaces.
Premium quality Amtico LVT flooring is designed to withstand this daily wear and tear, resisting scratches and scuffs. Our Amtico Signature collection has a super-tough 1mm wear layer for long-lasting protection. It also comes with a Lifetime Warranty, providing extra peace of mind for pet owners.

2. Water-Resistant Flooring for Messy Paws
If you’ve got a cat who likes to come and go through the cat flap (even when it’s raining), or a dog who’s one of those ‘messy drinker’ types, then your kitchen floor is bound to get wet. So, opting for a floor with water-resistant properties is a smart choice.
Unlike a real wood floor, Amtico LVT doesn’t absorb liquid, which risks leaving a water mark or damage where the planks meet. So, whether it’s splashes from the water bowl or muddy paw prints, our LVT can handle it all.

3. Easy-to-Clean Flooring for Pet-Friendly Homes
As much as we love our furry friends, there’s no getting away from the fact that having pets equals more cleaning. Whether it’s sweeping up hair, wiping away muddy pawprints, or cleaning up those little accidents, keeping your floors clean can feel like a full-time job.
That’s why you’ll appreciate just how easy it is to clean Amtico LVT. It has a non-porous surface, so the planks and tiles just need a light sweep and a mop to keep clean and looking fresh.

4. Antimicrobial Properties
Some Amtico LVT collections offer extra help with hygiene, thanks to their antimicrobial properties. This advanced antimicrobial technology – an additive embedded within the urethane coating – helps to prevent the growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi by making it more difficult for these tiny ‘microbes’ to multiply. And if they can’t multiply, they can’t survive.
So, whatever little nasties your dogs or cats bring indoors, a floor created with Amtico Signature, Form, Spacia or First, which all feature antimicrobial protection, will boost your home’s hygiene.

5. Comfort & Style for You and Your Pet
With open plan living a popular choice, many homeowners opt for hard floors throughout the downstairs. But while style and practicality matter, pets appreciate a bit of comfort wherever they choose to snooze.
That’s where Amtico LVT makes a difference, feeling softer and warmer than traditional materials, such as wood or ceramic. It adds extra comfort for your pets’ little paws and feels lovely underfoot for humans too.
