Dallas, TX – April 9, 2025 – This upcoming Friday April 11th is National Pet Day 2025. Daltile, the largest designer and manufacturer of tile in North America, is kicking off the celebration by highlighting the myriad of attributes that make tile an outstanding product for homes with pets. Tile excels in many categories: beauty, waterproof qualities, cleanliness, sustainability, durability, and value.

“At Daltile, we know that pets are family, and just like great design, they make a house feel like a home,” said Laura Grilli, director of product design, Dal-Tile LLC. “This National Pet Day, we are celebrating the little moments — muddy paws, wagging tails, spontaneous zoomies, and peaceful snoozes — that inspire us to create spaces as beautiful and durable as the memories made in them. With tile’s unmatched longevity and easy-to-clean surfaces, it’s a great foundation for homes built to last for every member of the family, paws included.”

“Daltile’s quality tile products offer the ultimate combination of durability, style, and practicality for homes with pets,” added Grilli. “Our water-proof tiles naturally resist urine, odors, stains, and scratches, making them easy to clean and the best companion for furry friends. Daltile tiles are perfectly paw-approved and pet-friendly, all the time!”

“Our tile is made of all-natural materials: clay, sand, water, feldspar, and other natural minerals. No additives, no exceptions. Our tiles are free from VOCs, PVCs, allergens, and formaldehyde. This means Daltile products are an excellent material for our furry friends to play, sleep, and live on safely.”

“Our tile is also easy to clean. Regular, basic cleaning with warm water and mild soap is sufficient to keep Daltile tile looking like new. Additionally, our tile will not damage from professional cleaning services, for those customers wanting a deeper clean.”

“As an added bonus, Daltile has taken the already hypo-allergenic and easily cleaned properties of tile a step further by introducing Daltile’s DEFEND powered by Microban® technology into many of our floor, wall, and mosaic tile products. Daltile’s DEFEND powered by Microban® products continuously eliminate up to 99% of the bacteria on the tile surface, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With our DEFEND tile products, Daltile customers gain an even greater peace of mind that they are providing the cleanest environments possible for their homes,” concluded Grilli.
