carol, i have laminate floors in my house and i love them. i "tested" all the different kinds before deciding which to buy. took samples home and used a variety of things on them. yes, the pergo does scratch. i found the toughest one is the wilson art. i took a hammer to it and nothing happened. they are not slippery when wet and the dogs get decent traction on them. they have a 16 year warrantee but in order for it to be effective, you must have an authorized installer (someone that has been trained and licensed by wilson art). you do not need to prepare the existing floor to install it either as it is a floating floor. the cost is about the same as ceramic tile. the only problem with the laminates is that along the seam, sometimes they can buckle a little bit. i highly recommend them tho. i have moved furniture across it and not even one little scratch. claudia
