It’s no secret that all of us at Cali Bamboo are animal lovers. We frequently support animal welfare organizations such as the San Diego Humane Society, and have an open (dog) door policy that allows for all employees to bring their furry friends to work with them! Any given day you will find up to 10 pooches roaming the office, sleeping under desks, playing fetch in our backyard area… or getting into occasional mischief. 🙂
Because of our love for animals, it’s only natural that we team up with national pet retailer Petco, headquartered right down the street from us in San Diego. Last December, Petco was kind enough to bring our dog family a box of goodies as a holiday care package, and they recently featured our dog-friendly office in their Unleashed by Petco shopping guide!
View Shopping GuideNow Petco is working on a facelift of their retail stores across the country and chose Bronze GreenClaimed® Infinity™ Composite Decking to create a clean, modern look for the outside of the store, underneath the Petco sign! Infinity™ Decking is made in the USA from 100% recycled materials, topped with InfinityShield™ protection that allows it to hold up to the elements – even for stores in extreme climates such as El Paso, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah. Infinity™ Composite Decking is a great choice for residential and commercial projects alike!
Working with Petco has been a great experience and we look forward to collaborating on future pet-friendly projects! Thanks Petco!
I have two large (120lb) German Shepherds. What is best wood type or wood looking for for dogs with big claws?
You’re in the right place Dick! Most of our customers are large dog owners and swear by Cali Bamboo. Check out our Pet Videos. Big dogs can really tear up hardwoods, their claw marks can get so bad, it can require refinishing. Cali Bamboo, however, is so dense and hard that it never needs refinishing. No floor is scratch proof, and I would recommend a lighter color floor over a darker one if scratches are a concern. Lighter floors tend to hide the thin, superficial scratches better. Don’t take my word for it, call us and get some samples and put them to the test against any other flooring you are considering. Once you feel the Cali Bamboo difference it’s an easy choice.
Best,
