I have wood, but also have alot of area rugs around. I've found when my dogs get older, they have a hard time with slipping on the wood/linoleum, so I buy inexpensive throw/area rugs ,,Luckily we have an outlet supplier that I just paid 225$ for two HUGE area rugs ,,both 9 x 12. if they last me a couple years, I'm happy
