Your pet’s claws are a detail, one of the biggest problems with pets and floors is scratches, something very common. Even pets that don’t actively scratch floors can leave their mark simply by walking, running, or jumping. Pets also lose hair, and sometimes they even relieve themselves at home as they forget to do it outside.
