How does laminate compare to hardwood flooring?

How does laminate flooring hold up to pets in the home?
Laminate floors are a good solution for homes with pets since laminate is very durable and easy to maintain. While not entirely indestructible, with proper care and maintenance, laminate floors will provide many years of good durability in homes with pets.
