The reason I want the VINAL "wood laminate look" is because it is lighter weight. Also it floats, so no nails or staples, which would damage the underlayers, plus plumbing, etc. Different companies make vinal strips that attach to each other with an overlap with a sticky strip on them. I really wondered if anyone had done it as I was warned by a man who had done it that they forgot to check on kind that would not cause dogs to go sliding when they tried to walk across it. After doing his he had found out there were some kinds that had slight ridges in it so not so slippery for pets. However he couldn't remember the brand. ( Please note: our dog rides in our truck securely harnessed). So does anyone else who has done it, know of the brand that is good for pets? Thanks in advance.

okay - we have the ridged kind in the house, and the laminate with no ridges in the shop. I'd say that if you dog can walk on a vinyl floor in your house, it's no different than in the RV. If you dog is harnessed while moving. The dogs learn.....they really do. I DO have a friend that brought her old dog........that poor dog was afraid of its reflection in the floor!! The kind from Lowes that is vinyl, and $.97 or $.98 a foot is EASY to put in. NO nails, etc. No glue either!!! That's what we just put in the shop and I walk across it in my stocking feet and don't slip or slide.
