I'm no expert but have dabbled in old hardwood floor restoration before, in the best of worlds after you removed all this stuff it would be good to give the entire floor a good sanding and re-varnish. These steps would eliminate any minor damage caused by biting the wood.
But then again some of your other comments give me the impression you intend to preserve the varnish so maybe none of this applies to your situation
