Best styles of carpet for pets
Arguably the most pet friendly carpet is cut pile carpet as this style is generally considered to be the most hard-wearing of all carpets.
Cut pile carpets are made by cutting the yarn to produce an upright pile and unlike loop pile carpets, your pets will be unable to get their claws stuck in the loops.
For more information on different carpet styles and where to use them in your home, see our carpet buyers guide.
The best material for carpets for pets
As mentioned above, you will want to choose a carpet that is easy to clean as the majority of pets shed their fur and bring debris from the outside world into your home.
One of the most pet friendly carpet materials is polypropylene as this is resistant to dirt, dust, and any little “accident” that may occur.
Woollen carpets should be avoided at all costs as they can be hard to clean.

Best colour for your pet friendly carpet
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the colours for carpets that are suitable for pets are usually darker. You may have always longed for a luxurious cream carpet in your living room, but this will show up every hair, stain, and spill, making your job of keeping your home clean and tidy even more difficult.
Instead, opt for darker and patterned carpets that will hide a multitude of stains!
