What types of hardwood are best for pets and dogs?

Can hardwood floors and pets live happily ever after?

Many of my customers have dogs so I get this question often - which type of hardwood should I use for dogs? It's a hard question to answer because truthfully all hardwood will dent and scratch over time - it's just a matter of how much and how much you can see it. But I do not think this is a reason to avoid getting hardwood for your home. Tons of consumers have hardwood and pets and they can easily co-exist together.

Usually, this question is less of an issue for with cats and more of a concern with dogs, especially active dogs. And, while there are things you can do w/ your pets (e.g. clip or file nails), I'm going to focus on hardwoods that can take a better beating and will last longer.
