Answer: When choosing hardwood flooring for a home with dogs, certain factors like hardness, finish, and type (solid or engineered) should be considered. The Janka Hardness Scale is helpful in determining the wood's resistance to scratches and dents. Harder woods, like Brazilian Walnut (Ipe) and Santos Mahogany, are good choices due to their high Janka ratings. Oak and Hickory are also durable options. Additionally, using finishes like matte or satin can help hide scratches. Engineered wood is a practical option as it can be refinished a few times, though solid wood offers more refinishing opportunities. It's also worth considering high-density and waterproof hardwood options for added durability
