Having carpet and a puppy is a risky combination, as one dogowner recently found out.

Sandra Young's staircase carpet had become a mess after her Alaskan Klee Kai puppy Nanci had started to rip it up.

Nanci had been trying to eat the underlay underneath and Sandra decided she could not deal with the carpet anymore, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Using varnish and self-adhesive vinyl, the couple has completely transformed their stairs, having replaced the carpet with exposed wood steps with patterned tiles, for £28.99.
