LVP does not all have bevels . I love mine with 3 huge dogs. I have it in my walkout but on the main floor we have laminate that looks like slate I am not a big wood lover maybe a Vinyl plank that looks likecncrete might work. I do need a bit mor einfo as to your style.I hate tile underfoot all the time it is hard on knees, joints and backs and for sure as you age not to mention it is really cold too.

@Patricia Colwell Consulting Concreate or slate would be lovely. Style wise I'm a bit all over the place a mixture of industrial & mid century modern plus some dorky things we like. When you say huge dogs would you mind elaborating. A guy at our local floor store when talking about our newfoundland said that "a dog that size was livestock" and LVP/laminate type of floors wouldn't work. I actually love the coldness of tile but I am hoping to age in this house. We have a slate look tile in our master bathroom already so it could definitely work. Would you mind sharing the type you have. Also the wall color I'm completely open to changing, just waiting to figure out floors.

I wear slippers year round. Tile is always the most durable. I much prefer laminate over LVP. I've tried the scratch test on several LVP's and they all scratch very easily. Even the one with 40 mil wear layer. Rubbed the same rock over my 89cent laminate that is a temporary fix and it didn't scratch at all.

I also wouldn’t rule out out wood. The farmhouse I grew up in (and every other farmhouse in the county) had wood floors and it survived all manner of critters. The horse did scratch it her her shoes though. Pick a truly hard wood, 3/4”, not veneer, and a durable finish.

Kay, what LVP did you scratch? I have Coretec and we can drag furniture over it, we have running around and I don’t know what you have to do to scratch it.

@rainyseason @acm With hardwood it isn't the scratches that worry me so much, they can be refinished( a major plus with wood). My concern is moisture. We have had amazing dogs but unfortunately a variety of illness. Intense prolonged diarrhea before we discovered a previous dog's colon cancer, urinating roughly every 1.5hr as another dealt with Cushing's disease, frequent urination before we discovered another's diabetes, and lastly as the chemo for inoperative mast cell tumors weakened another she ended up with incontinence in not being able to get up in time that coupled wit the tumors being on her uvula & rectum did not help. For the sake of my heart I hope to only have healthy babies from here on out. However, roughly 50% of all dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer. In my personal experience it's been 100%. While their each first 10+ yrs of life I had no issue the last had quite a few. This is what I am worried about handling, which again I hope to never go through this kind of stuff again. However, when cleaning multiple messes up a day for months the difference is astounding, from when it was on our current tile or carpet. I do not mean to be flippant & am truly curious can hardwood hold up to this? If so what kind of finish would be required.

P.S. not on a slab

Ugh, no, that's a lot. I mean, we have indeed cleaned up both urine and diarrhea from our wood, but I wouldn't want to do it again and again. If you really expect to have that going on and on, I guess I'd do a vinyl sheet (no cracks) or something solid like marmoleum. Sympathies!!
