If your dog has left scratches all over your pine hardwood floors, the finish protecting the wood can make a big difference. This video shows a pine floor finished with oil-based polyurethane, where everyday pet traffic has left noticeable scratch patterns throughout the surface. Oil-based finishes have been a popular choice for years, but softer woods like pine can still show wear quickly with active pets.
That's one reason we prefer Bona Traffic HD. This premium water-based finish offers exceptional durability and abrasion resistance, helping hardwood floors withstand the demands of daily life, including paws, nails, and heavy foot traffic. When protecting softwood floors like pine, the right finish matters as much as the right floor.
