PET-FRiENDLY
Selected by pet lifestyle expert Wendy Diamond as the flooring to create
her ultimate pet-friendly home.
“Floors are very important for a pet-friendly home. Pet claws can cause a lot of scratches
and wear and tear. Hard surface floors are best for pet parents because carpet absorbs
odors and catches fur and dust. Alterna is not only pet friendly, it’s family friendly since it’s
wear-water-and-stain resistant. It’s also easy to clean.”
