It's like an ice skating rink for the dogs. They have to move really slowly to walk across it, especially around corners. If they lie down, they struggle to get enough traction to stand up again. I've had to buy area rugs and the like, just so they can get around.

I had laminate floors in a past house, they were slippery as hell. Way worse than wood but that stuff does wear like iron.
