Someone posted about a varnish that kept a friend's floor from scratching...search 'wood', 'wood floor,' 'varnish' etc in the Forum.

Here's what I'm doing. I haven't done it yet but am in process. There is rubber flooring that you find on the floors at 24 hour fitness. It's not gorgeous but I figure I can buy throw rugs that look like persian rugs. They are cheap at Big Lots or Home Depot or Lowes. About $50. When they get too much pee poop or vomit, I'll just throw them out & buy another throw rug. I also figure that if the rubber flooring doesn't work out, it makes great underpadding. Those contracting companies that install the flooring for the gyms often have huge remnants that can be pieced together leaving only a small seam here and there. I want something that is easy, soft & warm to walk on but not porous bcs of dogs. Also that wheelchairs can wheel on. This seems like the best idea for me. I have already bought about 1,000 ft in remnants but haven't laid it yet.They use something similar in horses stalls but they fit together like puzzles and liquid can get in the seams. However they have something like those at Big Lots & they would be good for places unlikely to get peed on. Puppy love from Joy & furry folk
