Carpet is sometimes a necessary design choice during a remodel. Whether for living areas or bedrooms, carpet remains a favorite among Designing Dreams flooring clients, and it's easy to understand why clients might choose a soft surface for specific rooms and stairs in the home. With so many flooring options, our clients always ask if carpet is a pet safe choice? The answer is yes, and designer Jerilynn Ratcliff shares her expert advice for choosing the right carpet.
Essential Pet Carpet Tips from an Expert
I asked designer Jerilynn Ratcliff from Designing Dreams for her advice about choosing the ideal carpet for pet parents. As the proud owner of Milo, a mini Australian Shepherd, Jerilynn brings valuable firsthand experience regarding pets and flooring. Here are her top five must-haves for selecting pet-friendly carpet:
- Choose a long-lasting high-performance carpet with solution dyed nylon to minimize visible wear and scrubbing over time.
- Look for a carpet that is resistant to liquids and soil for effortless cleaning and maintenance—because accidents happen!
- Technology designed to reduce pet odors is always a plus when selecting carpet.
- Buy a carpet pad that has pet protection built-in to protect your investment.
- Ensure your carpet pick has a warranty against pet stains and fading.
