It looks like crap and screams cheap.While it's true that hardwood can become damaged with excessive pet running, it is actually rare and a true hardwood floor can be buffed or sanded a few times during it's lifetime.Another option is engineered wood.

Probably more like oh crap, i need to sell some stock to pay my mortgages.
