Best Carpet For Our Money With Pets?
My husband and i just bought a house and we need to recarpet it entirely before moving in. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat, and want this carpet to last at least ten years. This carpet would be used in all the bedrooms and the stairs of our home (We are doing the downstairs in laminate.) We are on a budget and do not need to spend more than $8 per yard. Considering our options, what is the best kind of carpet we can get for our money that would be attractive and durable?

Look for carpet that is made from P.E.T. – as opposed to nylon or wool. Doesn’t matter what brand. I think it stands for polyethylene something – but what it is it’s made from recycled pop bottles. It is SO durable and stains come right up. We’ve had it in our family room and my kids have spilled and spilled all over it and the stains all come up. We got ours from Home Depot and I believe it was 3.50 a sq ft and it feels so plush.

since you have pets avoid “berber” carpet at all costs. do not let anyone convince you to buy berber. it’s only okay if you don’t have pets. get something that you can use a bissell or stanely steemer on. medium gray or medium bage would be wise.
