Wide Plank Pine floors. They look great! Sometimes these floors are also made from reclaimed Heart Pine. joel@eutree.com

Would you recommend this flooring for someone that has a dog and for kitchen area

Pine is a softer wood. My family has a mountain cabin with pine floors throughout and we do take dogs whenever we visit. It's fine for that but if it were a daily use floor I would stick with oak.

Agreed with the expert! Pine is soft. If you don't mind that scratched up, rustic look, it will work for you. But it does take a number of years to look purposefully worn out. White Oak is harder and my firm uses it quite a lot.
