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.
