Manufacturers require expansion around the entire perimeter of your floating floor. Depends on whether or not you want to maintain your warranty. If you don't care, fly at er. You may or may not end up with issues. Depending on the height of the tile, I like to use an Edge Mold which butts up to the tile instead of overlapping it. It still overlaps the laminate, offering a warranty approved solution. Last week I had to deny a warranty claim by a builder who butted all his floating engineered hardwood tight to tile. The flooring started to squeak a couple months after completion. Badly. Sorry "builder". He was out a substantial sum. Your 10x11 room may survive unscathed.

Laminate vs. Wood Look Tiles
You have dogs. Wood look tile is the best choice.
Most laminate can be scratched by dogs who are sliding when they are trying to run, like, say, when the doorbell rings.
Most laminate is installed as a floating floor, so your dogs nails will sound like a snare drum on it.
Laminate's worst enemy is water. Dogs get water-bowl spills, drips, drool and occasionally urine that you may not discover and clean up right away. That'll ruin laminate by making the seams swell.
I had laminate. Smartest move I ever made was going to wood-look tile. I have four dogs.
The downside is that wood look tile is expensive to buy and harder to install. If cost becomes a problem and you have to do laminate, use ClickSeal or some other sealant that seals the joints in the floor during installation to prevent water intrusion and seriously investigate and consider a glue-down installation or the most amazing underlayment you can get.

You could leave a very small expansion gap.. 1/8, then fill that with a color matched flexible caulk, pergo makes color matches to each floor they sell, I'm sure other brands do aswell.. then you can avoid transitions, and still leave expansion gap, however your still going to void warranty, the gap won't be enough to honor the warranty, but it's enough to avoid problems in the future (in my opinion) I'm sure your project is done, but maybe this can help others in future projects (for the record, I would always recommend transitions)
