Toughest floor finish

I'm in the process of refinishing the steps to the second floor of our home. We have two dogs whose claws are scratching up the finish. I'm using water based poly to finish the treads. Is there a stronger or tougher finish that I could be using? I've got 4 coats of poly on each tread. My wife doesn't want carpet and I can't keep resanding the treads.

Re: Toughest floor finish

You are either going to have to put some kind of covering on the steps, declaw the dogs (not recommended), or eventually replace the treads from all the sanding you will have to do.

You aren't going to find a finish that will hold up to that particular kind of abuse. Dog claws are tough!

If they are small dogs you can clip their claws. Just stay out of the quick.
