If you have pets, you know the love and joy they bring to our lives every day. Even with the added responsibilities of cleaning up messes, quieting loud noises and reducing pet-related damage in our homes, pets are a welcome addition to the family. The good news is that you can reduce noise, easily clean up messes, prevent floor damage and contribute to cleaner indoor air by investing in COREtec’s petproof vinyl plank flooring.

The Many Benefits of COREtec’s 

Petproof Vinyl Flooring 

It’s Easy To Clean


Whether Morris dumps his food bowl and tracks in rain or Lassie doesn’t make it outside in time, clean-up needs to be quick and effective. With COREtec’s luxury vinyl flooring for pets, a simple damp mop can erase those messy footprints, and a vacuum or broom can easily clean up that kibble. You can use COREtec’s pet-safe vinyl floor cleaner to address any mishaps that arise. And, since vinyl flooring doesn’t stain or absorb odors, once Lassie’s accident is gone, it’s GONE!

Waterproof Flooring for Pets


Life with children and pets often comes with unexpected spills and accidents. Waterproof luxury vinyl flooring provides the perfect solution for protecting your home from water damage.


Our waterproof flooring for pets is specially designed to handle the challenges of four-legged family members, preventing liquids from seeping into your floors. This is particularly important for dog owners - our waterproof flooring for dogs ensures that accidents won't compromise your floor's integrity or trap unpleasant odors.

By choosing our luxury vinyl waterproof solution, you'll maintain a fresh, inviting home environment while enjoying peace of mind that your floors can withstand whatever life brings your way.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring Safe for Pets


COREtec luxury vinyl flooring is made with people, pets and the planet in mind. Our products are not only tested for durability — they're also tested for material health and safety (like slip testing) to help prevent your pet from losing their footing as they chase their favorite ball.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring is Quieter and Comfortable Underfoot


Once you finally get the baby to sleep, the last thing you want to worry about is a pup with the zoomies. With luxury vinyl plank or tile flooring, you can quiet tip-tap sounds heavy-footed pets make as they walk (or run!) around the house. Also, when compared to other flooring options, vinyl is naturally more comfortable underfoot.


At COREtec, a select group of styles features our patent-pending Soft-Step underlayment. These styles are 46% warmer and 70% quieter that other already-quiet LVP options.

COREtec’s Luxury Vinyl Flooring is Durable


Our LVP has the wood-like qualities you love, minus concerns related to water damage, warping and the need for refinishing.


Similarly, COREtec LVT flooring looks just like tile, but it doesn't feature pesky grout. No grout makes this flooring easy to install and a breeze to clean. Also, luxury vinyl tile is durable, resisting chips and cracks - another feature that makes it ideal for homes with pets.


We'll put it plainly: when you have pets, the flooring you choose matters. It must be strong enough to handle cats' and dogs' paws, your pets' toys and heavy bones. At COREtec, we have durable luxury vinyl flooring options that are also more scratch resistant than hardwood. And with Limited Lifetime warranties on all of our floors, you can rest assured your LVP and LVT floors will look immaculate for years!
