travertine in kitchen

My customer wants to install travertine in her kitchen. She has 5 small dogs living there. Is this an advisable flooring for her situation? Thanks, Harry
 
Dear Harry:
It all depends on the way the stone is finished. Higly polished is a HUGE no-no under the circumstances. Honed and filled is iffy at best.
Brushed or tumbled and filled would be all right.

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?   :-)

Ciao and good luck,

Maurizio Bertoli
