Carpet replacement with laminate flooring - Good idea?

In 2010 I purchased my first home. After living here for about a month, I discovered that the previous owners' dog(s) had urinated all over the upstairs carpet. I realized this after my cats started defecating in the hallway up there and I used a black light to show the spots (like 80% coverage in the hallway (!), about 40% coverage in the game room, less in the bedrooms). They did a great job covering it up because no one noticed it except my cats! I had already decided to replace the carpet in the game room with wood laminate because I am putting a pool table in there. Due to the dog urine problem, I decided to also put the wood laminate in the hallway. I figured this would be better than carpet in the long run, especially since I have cats. Now I am wondering 1) if this was a smart thing to do with respect to resale and 2) whether this would be considered an improvement in my home value since the damaged carpet was replaced. I would like to hear some opinions. Note: I will be replacing the bedroom carpet with new carpet, but this hasn't happened yet. Thanks for your help!
