Dog urine on marble floor

Hello, We have marble floor all throughout our condominium. We really want to have a dog as a pet in our suite, but is it a bad idea? I am concerned that dog urine will stain/damage our crema marfil marble floor. Thank you very much :D
 

Dear Jenny:

Polished marble floors and dogs are words that should never appear in the same sentence.

I'm sure that this short answer of mine delivers the message.

I want you to know that I'm a sucker for dogs myself, but unfortunately the two things don't mix well. L

Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – as it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable – which in the cas e of polished Crema Marfil it is not) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about routine care from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
