Flooring for Homes with Pets

The other day I watched as my 60 pound Lab slurped to get a quick drink...even though there is a towel under his bowl a puddle started to form on our hardwood floor. I then continued to watch him sprint across the floor and carelessly slide into the rug. Not the most graceful sight, but this got me thinking about what type  of flooring would be best for people with pets. There are several different options and below is a great chart showing the pros and cons of each type.
