There is nothing quite like coming home to a warm welcome from your pet. Pets are part of our families and every family member deserves to feel comfortable at home. Carpet is a great choice for pet parents - it provides a soft and warm spot for cat naps while absorbing the sound of puppy paws prancing across the floor. Check out the Shaw Floors pet-friendly carpet selection guide below to be sure you select carpet that you and your pet will love for years to come.

- Stain resistance - built-in stain protection provides peace of mind
- Cleanability - accidents are inevitable so easy-to-clean carpet is a must
- Construction and color - consider a low pile style with a textured look

Cleanability: Choose carpet that is easy to clean.
Accidents are inevitable when you have pets in the home. You need carpet that is easy to clean and care for when pet accidents, spills and messes occur. Cleaning the mess as soon as possible will help prevent stains and soiling from damaging the look of your carpet. Also keep in mind that vacuuming your carpet thoroughly and frequently is the best way to extend the life of your floor - and helps keep pet hair at bay.
Pet Perfect+ & Accident Protection
Shaw Floors provides the ultimate accident protection with LifeGuard® spill-proof technology™. Perfect for active households requiring the cleanest carpet for healthy living, LifeGuard protects your subfloor from stinky, unreachable messes. LifeGuard backing comes standard on all Pet Perfect+ carpet styles.
Construction and Color: Consider a low pile style with a textured look.
Generally speaking, low, cut pile carpet is ideal for pets as it is less likely to be damaged by pet nails snagging the carpet. A style with a textured visual or fleck of color can help hide dirt or debris tracked in by little paws until you are ready to clean. You know your pet - and your cleaning habits - better than anyone and can make the best call on if these recommendations make sense for you and your floors.
Pet Perfect & Uncompromising Style
Pet Perfect's high performance construction and built-in stain resistance means you don’t have to choose dark colors or muted patterns in order to hide dirt. From warm or cool tones to solids and patterns large and small, Pet Perfect has something for every pet-loving home.
Sustainability: Choose carpet with good indoor air quality.
Breathe easier knowing your pet is surrounded by good indoor air quality in your home. All Shaw Floors carpet products are Green Label Plus certified indicating they emit the lowest level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the market. Green Label Plus is a voluntary industry testing program for carpet and adhesive products that establishes the high standard for indoor air quality (IAQ) for the carpet industry. Learn More
