If the dog has pale fur and malts - dark floors could be a mistake !
Dark floors also show up dust beautifully too !

For a 'high wear and tear' flooring area, you can either spend more than you want to on a better product, that will last very well - or spend less, but replace it more often ...

if you like to completely change your decor periodically, then cheaper might be fine - but if you do things once, and do it well - then worth investing in my opinion.
Hope that helps a bit !
