We have about 1K sqft that we need to recarpet (an upstairs bedroom area, hallway, and stairs). Carpet is old, nasty, and worn. Was put in probably 20 yrs ago by prior owner and now we've lived with for >15 years.

We currently have a small dog (<5 lbs), and he is known to pee inside when anxious or when we just miss the fact that he has to go. The dog is 7 years old and I expect this will continue for the remainder of his life, who knows, maybe get worse. He's such a small dog his pee spots are small but over time it's just a lot and really gross.

I've actually never bought carpet and don't know where to start. I just know I want the best pet urine/best cleaning carpet possible. Budget is flexible and I'd gladly pay top dollar for a padding/carpet that is amazing for pet urine/cleaning.

What things should I look for? Specific brands, technologies, install techniques, stores (box or local)? I'm open to any and all advice.

Parent’s home, now mine, was built in early 80s, had top of line Stainmaster installed. Eggshell. It was great - any stain would come out - but now - not so much. Still have animals, still have accidents. Want to replace carpeting in great room - it’s exposed and hard flooring just will echo too much for my taste. Any recommendations on the ‘pet friendly’ carpet lines? PetProtect/Anderson Tuftex/etc? Thank you!
