That's right, and if you don't get to it quickly, it can be a real problem. It will seep under the seams and cause the laminate to buckle. We bought a resale, and the laminate was already here. It was not the highest quality, nor was it the best installation job. The previous owner had a dog, and I do believe he must have had accidents all over the place because we have the buckling at the seams all over the house.
If I were doing it (and probably will have to in a few years), I would go with tile and just make sure to use an excellent grout sealer and keep it resealed, as needed.
Probably doggie accidents won't be a problem for you, but if you drop an ice cube on the laminate and don't get it up, it can be a problem. Maybe higher quality ones are better, so be sure to discuss that with the company you decide to go with.
