Americans love their pets as evidenced by the findings of a National Pet Owners survey showing that 70% of U.S. households, or about 90.5 million families, own a pet. What’s more, 95% of those homeowners consider their pet a member of the family. With that in mind, carpet mills have been busy developing best-in-class products with pet protection—products that offer protection against accidents without compromising on aesthetics or durability.

Here are some recent introductions:

ANDERSON TUFTEX: PET PERFECT

Pledging to rethink what’s “paw-sible,” Anderson Tuftex’s (A/T) new Pet Perfect styles for 2023 are ultra-durable, easy-to-clean carpets with pet parents in mind. Featuring random striations and color variation, these four carpet products are a nod to a more crafted process that contains organic visuals. The new A/T Pet Perfect styles come in various designs and were inspired by the desire to design differently blended with the need for durable carpets for pet owners.

DREAM WEAVER: PURECOLOR

PureColor is Engineered Floors’ own proprietary brand of solution-dyed fiber that is used in every residential carpet that it makes. Because it’s solution dyed, the color goes all the way through the fiber, like the color in a carrot, meaning the color won’t fade, wear off and won’t stain. PureColor products offer a lifetime pet warranty, giving consumers the comfort and confidence that their new Dream Weaver carpet will perform.

MARQUIS: SWEET EMOTION

Cloud 9, Tarkett Home’s innovative new carpet fiber, exists to help thriving families—and their pets—create comfortable sanctuaries in the spaces where they rest and relax. Cloud 9 is a fiber that comes with Tarkett Home’s promise to provide affordable, beautiful, luxuriously soft flooring that stands the test of time. Cloud 9 is a solution-dyed polyester yarn with a natural resistance to staining and fading without compromising on softness. The collection includes 11 new products.

SOUTHWIND: FASHION
