I'm wondering what other folks have for flooring ... Any suggestions? 

Please be sure to review our best traction recommendations for Tripawds. If you're putting in laminate or another slick floor, area rugs with non-slip backing a definitely a must to keep those falls to a minimum!

Great to hear from you and that Molli is doing so well!

I found that tile in the kitchen worked well for my rear amp pug Maggie.  The kitchen had wood laminate when I bought the house but I did not like it for several reasons, one of which was both of my pugs, quads at the time, slipped on it all the time.  After Maggie became a tri-pug I did add a couple of rugs where she made turns,  but I found that she could navigate pretty well in a straight line on the tile.

Another thing I did with her was to trim the fur between her toes and pads.  I also used Musher's Secret on her pads to keep them supple which seemed to give her better traction .  You should find it in the link that Admin guy gave above.
