Is it ideal to use this product for two, un-crate-trained, 1 year-old, 30 lb dogs? Also, is it ideal for wood floors?

I would not use it on wood floors we have linoleum and our 30lb 4mth old pup jumps on the fence and the joints scratch the floor. also unless you have something to secure it with they can move it or knock it over.

I use mine on a tiled floor. It might scratch wood floors. It depends if your dogs jump around and push it. My 7 month old 13 lb dog pushes it around when he is briefly put into it. I'm not sure if two 30 lb dogs would be comfortlable in it. I think its good for small dogs or puppies.

I tested it on hardwood floors and it did not scratch the floors, however, if a 30 lb. dog jumps up on the pen it will slide. There is nothing to anchor or to prevent it from sliding around unless it's on grass or concrete.

I would personally not use this for your dogs, nor on a wood floor. We have a tile floor and my puppy, who was three months at the time, would drag it around the kitchen. Each panel bends at the "seam", it does not lock into any particular shape. This would be better for outdoors where you could hammer it into the ground to keep it from moving.

My dog scratched the wood floor trying to dig his way out. Rug didn't work either. It does however, work great on the patio and I put two 20 lbs. dogs in it and they do fine. One is an escape artist, but hasn't been able to figure a way out, so it is working great so far.

Hello!If they don't shake the playpen too much it will be okay for your floor. But if they play all the time, if they are hyper there would be a problem. Other than that it's a fantastic item. However my dog is alone in it. It may make a difference. She started in a big crate and then we switch to the playpen. She was sleeping in it. It became her house. She now sleeps loose in the house and she is 1 year old and about 30 pounds. But she has always access to her playpen. I hope it helps. Good luck! Lucie

I love love love this product for my wood floors. wood is wood I suppose, so it's worth trying. I'd try a small area first . I just don't know how it would hold up to being cleaned all the time.

You could use this for guinea pigs. There is no floor on the bottom, but we use an old piece of carpet under it.

I have 3 dogs 1 female and 2 males, all 3 of my dogs adapted very nicely to it. I would work very long hours so for me to come home and not have a mess of the floor was truly a blessing. Although when I was home they wanted to go outside.i hope this helps you out.

We have all wood floors & have used Nature's Miracle w no problem while training our now 5-mo-old puppy! Wipe up the "accident", Spray it on the floor & let it sit just a few minutes then wipe dry. Nice fresh scent & absolutely no odor or stain on wood. We used it like crazy for 1st few weeks, then less & less-- thankfully puppy is trained now (even rings a bell to go outside--highly recommend that), only occasional "oops" when super-excited, for instance. Good luck & enjoy that pup, even the potty training stage; they grow up even faster than kids do! :)

I recently purchased one of these and I have 2 dogs, hardwood floors, rustic travertine tile, and carpet. It works fantastic for me. I used to have 3 separate cleaning tools, none of which did a good job. I was hesitant like you because I have never had a vacuum like this (only up rights). I can honestly say I will never go back to the upright. The wood floor is cleaner with this than when I sweep with a broom. It also is powerful enough to get dirt from the grout filled tile. The other amazing thing about this model is the pet upholstery attachment. I let my dogs up on the sofa and this attachment easily removes all the dog hair. I am one happy camper.

We have it on high gloss bamboo floors in our front room by our front door. We have a 115 pound German Shepherd puppy that plays hard and usually jumps all over this area. I didn't use adhesive because I didn't want to ruin my floors, so all I did was take some super strong clear duct tape and tape all the squares together on the bottom (a strip on each connecting side, sticky side away from wood floor). This gave the tiles extra grip and even though they get high traffic and abuse, we have been very happy with them. They are holding up VERY well and move very little. Like I said, we play tug of war with our very large puppy on them and they move a little, but my other carpet (which was much more expensive, with a carpet padding underneath) moved all over he place and was destroyed within a year. So, I would recommend these tiles and then strong clear duct tape to hold them together better. Without the duct tape they really don't move much because they have a good rubber backing but the tape really stopped most movement. I hope this helps.

I have two big dogs also. They aren't real furry but they do she'd a good bit. I don't use it on hardwood floors a lot, but when I do it seems to work fine. One nice feature is that it's easy to disable the brushes when using on hardwood.

I like it on my hardwood-we mostly use the small canister on our wood because you can get into corners, and under and around things such as the piano, but I use the upright at least once a month when I want to really get up every last bit of dog fuzz out of corners. We had our floors refinished about 5 years ago so we are cautious about scratches.

I have it on laminated floors and tile floors and it works great... Out dog weighs 3 lbs though. They are ver sturdy pet gear is a good brand

I would say this is not the right solution for you. These work good on wood floors but might get quickly worn out on concrete or brick. I would look for something else.

I found it to be great for kittens. For a puppy, I would be a little concerned about their claws and their activity level. I really like this product for what I needed it for.

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

You could probably do it. It works well for my two small dogs. There would probably be a bit of a gap where assuming you have baseboards or some kind of trim around the floor.

I have a dog that sheds and usually lays on the area rugs. It does a good job picking up the dog hair. I don't use it on my wood floors, but don't know why it wouldn't pick up.

I've used it twice on my hard wood floors with no ill effects. Maybe you left it on the surface a tad too long. And, this product is a "stain and odor remover", so I don't think it's intended to keep the offending animal from going back to the same spot. I think there are other products out there to try for prevention purposes.

My dogs are /5 and 30 lbs and they do ok with it. I wish the carpet on it was a little rougher for them to get a better grip but they do ok. I have thought about putting the rubber shelf liner on top of it for a better grip but i think a 16 lb dog would have an easier time of it. Overall i like it.
