I use texture to simulate more of a painting look meant for canvas. It helps a lot to sell canvases as it goes so well. I think the texture is fine here, but, doesn't add a ton as the lighting is flat and bright. I'm only putting this here to illustrate what I am talking about, as I am not good at explaining what I mean Using textures needs to be done with a vision of the finished product, not just to use textures. I have tons of them and some work with a photo and many don't. I have an idea in my head usually what I am trying to do though. I don't dislike the texture on this photo, but, I don't think it really takes it to a new level

Can you make another layer of the texture and flip it horizonally and somehow blend or mask them so the sides are more equal? I could, but the simpler answer is "get a better texture file."

I'm not sure the texture works together with the reflection; I wonder how this would look with just one of the effects applied. Great shot of the dog! Welcome aboard fellow Fairfaxian! The reflection is not an effect, it's real, but I did consider what you're saying when I started playing with these. I think the reflection looks good / natural on textures like marble, granite etc that are stones with a reflective surface - not so good on fabric textures and other obviously non-reflective materials. I may start masking out the texture on the "floor" in some cases as things move along.
