My almost-13-year-old Lab had her right rear leg amputated 6 days ago due to osteosarcoma (the last straw for the leg: seven years ago, a mast celll tumor was removed from the lower leg, followed by radiation and six five and half carefree years, but last September she fractured the tib-fib for no good reason (no tumors were found) and had a plate and screws put in.  In June, she suddenly had a large mass below her knee that turned out to be osteosarcoma.  She'll begin chemo in a couple of weeks).

Does anyone know if one kind of carpet texture (pile, shag, deep shag, etc.) works better than others to give traction ?  Am investing in FLOR carpet squares (www.flor.com) to put in a hardwood entry but don't know which type.

Thanks.
