If I was going to re-do the floor, I'd do hardwoods (or tile, I love that!) and get some nice area rugs. I do like carpet for the dogs so we can do training indoors and they can play without sliding and getting hurt, but if I was already spending money to do the project I'd do something nicer and use rugs in those areas. I keep a cheap rug under my crates, even on top of the carpet, so if there's ever a sick dog and it's really bad, I can just toss out the rug.

We have real hardwood upstairs and carpet down. I vacuum several times a week regardless so I don't notice much difference as far as cleanliness.
