Between our dogs, our foster dogs, our kids and a leaking 55 gallon aquarium over the last three years our livingroom carpet has been completely destroyed. We want to remove the carpet and put something else (not carpet or tile) down through the livingroom, kitchen/dining area and hallway.

I've read that bamboo is really, really soft, hardwood scratches easily and laminate flooring won't stand up to moisture.

Any recommendations? My dogs are 1 and almost three and I have two year old twins. I can't wait 10 years to replace this disgusting carpet. I've already had it professionally cleaned, it looked great and once it dried all the stains came back.
ROFL. The leaking tank was over two years ago and has since been replaced. The entire aquarium is going away (I'm trading my best friend for her piano).
Monse: I was looking for a FLOOR, not recommendations of dog breeds. I have an Amstaff and a Golden mix. The dogs don't need to be replaced, the floors do!
