Hi there. I'm new to this site and sincerely hope this is the best place to post.
I have a lovely but anxious rescue dog who is getting gradually better with his seperation anxiety. Both my partner and I work so we're out of the house for a few hours each day, often leading to 'accidents' when we return.
We instaled a laminate floor thinking that would be more resiliant than the carpet we had. How wrong we were. 6 months later it's buckled and swollen on his 'favourite spot'. Can anyone recommend a flooring that will be able to stand a puddle for a couple of hours a day?
One option could be to replace the affected area and make sure the joints are more secure (it's just a certain cheap Swedish brand). The quality of laying is not brilliant, i'm a rank amateur at all this. Is there some kind of sealant I can put along the joints?
I've looked at vinyl planks, they look promising but if the wee is sitting there for a couple of hours is it still going to seep through the joints. Also tile has been recommended but living in the North East of England means that cold tile just isn't suitable.
