Will this stand up to doggy nails? I read one review that said it shows scratches but I'd really like to make our floor shiny.

It held up well with our rottweiller. Just don't wash with an ammonia cleaner.

I have an indoor/outdoor dog and I nave never noticed any nail scratches. When outside his nails are naturally trimmed on hard surfaces like sidewalks, so when he comes in he is walking on his paws and his nails do not dig into the floor.

I don't think I would trust it with pets' nails ~ because of the design itself and it's light weight. I doubt if it would stand up to pets very well.

I have it on granite. They are metal but I don't think there would be much scratching unless it was forced hard. I love mine. It is so cute!

I have 4 perm mounted to stained concrete at a bar.. so they of course do not scratch. I do have 4 more free standing that can be moved around. And they get moved by the pool table all the time. So far they have not damaged the floors. But they are great bar stools!

It is cool but I don't think it will hold up to a puppy. Not a strong shell at all. For a puppy, I would recommend a cool tile floor. He won't chew that up.

I doubt it will scratch the floor since there is a plastic protection ring on the bottom. I assume its there for a reason.

It is shiny and it really works. My nails are strong and long. Hope you give it a try

The nails are encased in a plastic cover that helps alleviate scratches. The plastic is hard but not as sharp as the real nail would be. I take my dog to the vet where she is groomed and have them put them on her claws after they trim them. This is done every 4-6 weeks and has helped alleviate scratches to our hard wood floors. Wax marks are now left on the sliding glass doors as she jumps up when she sees squirrels, but these are washed off easily. I hope this information helps you. My Irish Setter rarely chews on them after they are on her claws.

This will not work for preserving your dog's footprints on the floor. A hardwood floor product like Varathane is going to be your best bet. http://www.rustoleum.com/en/product-catalog/consumer-brands/varathane/crystal-clear-floor-finish

Just thought about it... You may have lots more scratches if you put it on wood. And as for the other response, I'd have to agree it may not fit as intended. May not be the best choice for your idea. Hope we were able to help.

After I used it on my wood floor it developed scratches. It does not cover scratches. I am thinking of having it professionally removed since stripping it was a horrifically drawn out ordeal.

I have used two sizes of this crate(Large and Jumbo) and it has yet to scratch my wood floors(oak). That said, I am not dragging the crate around; the crate is primarily used in just one place, not moved often, to keep my two dogs out of mischief at night when i cannot supervise them. Theoretically, a dog who jumps a whole lot might be able to cause scratches on a wood floor, but placing a polartec fabric piece(1-3 layers thick) under the entire crate before ever using it might be a cost effective way to remove this possibility. Fabric stores or amazon might have such fabric. This has proven to be a wonderful crate for my dogs with no harm to our floors after many months of use.

I haven't noticed it scratching my hardwood floors, (or any other floors), but my wood floors are parquet, and are not covered with polyurethane, so scratches would be less noticeable anyway.

This Craftsmen Rotary is a bit too heavy duty to do dogs nails . Try websites like Ryans pet supply ,Dog .com for a quite model . Personally ? I groomed dogs a few years , trim nails after a bath and hand file . Unless your dog has huge tough nails , then look for a professional nail grinder . Thanks !

Yes, there is a plastic type edging around the circumference of the metal base. Ours sit on wooden floors and we have had no problem with scratches. Be advised that we do our best not to slide the stools when we move them.

I have 4 dogs. I use the quick shine floor finish every few months and the floors look great. they do get scuffed up by dog toenails and paw prints . I have the floor cleaner but I've found that just a damp mop works better to clean in between the floor finish. the cleaner kind of takes more of the shine off the floor

We have had no problems with scratching. My dog (an old Golden) is quite skittish, so he's not quite sure about it & he's kind of rough going up & down & no scratches. So rest assured.
