If you share your home with animals, choosing the best carpet for pets can feel like a challenge. Muddy paws, shedding fur, accidents, and heavy foot traffic can all take their toll but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort or style.

At Karpet Kingdom, we help pet owners find the best carpet for pets (or flooring) that’s practical, durable, and still looks great.

Here’s everything you need to know about choosing pet-friendly flooring for busy homes.

Best carpets for pets – friendly flooring ideas

1. Polypropylene – The pet owner’s favourite

One of the most popular choices for pet-friendly homes.

✔ Highly stain-resistant
✔ Easy to clean
✔ Doesn’t absorb spills
✔ Budget-friendly

Perfect for homes with dogs or cats where accidents or muddy paws are part of everyday life.

2. Nylon – Tough & long-lasting

Nylon carpets are known for their durability and resilience and are often the choice when choosing the best carpet for pets.

✔ Handles heavy foot traffic
✔ Keeps its shape
✔ Great for hallways and stairs
✔ Easy to maintain

A brilliant option for busy households with pets and children.

3. Wool blends – Natural & comfortable

While pure wool requires a little more care, wool blends offer:
✔ Natural warmth
✔ Soft underfoot feel
✔ Good durability
✔ Better stain resistance than pure wool

Ideal for quieter rooms like bedrooms or lounges where mud isn’t likely to spread.

Think about the time you have available to keep it clean…

When considering having carpet with a pet around, the carpet you choose should be:

• Easy to vacuum
• Resistant to staining
• Quick-drying

Tip: Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning can dramatically extend the life of your carpet.

Is vinyl better for pets?

In some homes, yes!

Luxury vinyl flooring is:
✔ Scratch-resistant
✔ Waterproof
✔ Easy to wipe clean
✔ Ideal for kitchens, entrance hallways & utility rooms

Many pet owners choose vinyl in high-traffic areas and carpet in bedrooms for the best of both worlds.  A quick mop of vinyl will bring it back to its best in minutes.
