Leather furniture and dogs: How to make it work, and what is a pet-friendly leather sofa.
Dogs are perfect.They are our best friends, our exercise buddies, and sometimes our worst nightmares.A dog named Sasha Fierce likes to bark at 3AM from her perch on the couch.Kali likes to smell.She cannot catch anything in her mouth.For the sake of their reputation, other dogs ruin furniture.They put their dirty butt on your couch.They scratch.They are hiding under pillows.There are many reasons why we recommend a leather couch with dogs.

A pound of stain removal is worth it.That is the saying.Your dog runs your life if you are like the writer.A dog gets cut-up chicken every now and then, enjoys organic toys, is worshipped regularly, and is allowed on the couch.We are open to your judgement, but we are not judging you.We recommend the following ounces of prevention if this sounds familiar.
There are manicures.Don't forget to keep your dog's nails clean and short.Some leathers, such as our full-aniline series, look great when marked up.It makes them feel like they are a chill leather.The semi-aniline series of leathers has a more groomed look that can be sullied by a claw mark.It is possible to buff out claw marks with a clean cloth.A regular cut is likely offered by your local groomer.
Fur control.Dogs are in a shed.If you live in a place with different seasons.Every spring your sinuses are blasted by pollen, and your dog brings the party inside by getting rid of their long, fleece coat.The build-up of dog hair on your leather sofa can be prevented by giving your dog a thorough brush.As often as possible.It is ideal to be able to do it once a day.It depends on what you hate more: brushing your doggo or vacuuming your couch.The hair sits atop the leather.We like to remove dog hair by running it along the couch seat with a pair of slightly damp rubber kitchen gloves.Don't stop, repeat.
Training for being obedient.Before you buy a brand new leather couch, invest in some professional training for your dog.No matter how good your leather care is, there is nothing you can do to stop your dog from chewing a chunk out of your Timber Sectional.
Ground rules.You will set some serious boundaries about dogs on couches if you are stronger than the writer of this post.The floor is good if you give your dog treats for hanging out on it.Picking up a comfy dog bed from a pet accessories company that makes some that are more "chic floor pillow" than "dog bed".A leather couch with dogs could become a bed.
Leather is easy to clean.If you act fast, you can minimize the damage of a puppy accident.If you want to get rid of excess moisture, use an absorbent cloth.It is important to treat your leather with something that will cut through the urine scent.We like a solution of one part vinegar to three parts water, but deep soiling should always be taken to a leather-cleaning professional.It's tempting to get all "out damn spot!" on the stain, but please take care when washing your leather.You do not want to scrub the leather.Instead, wipe with circular motions.If the scent is allowed to linger, urine-marking can be a problem.
It is easier to clean up vomit.Barf is uncontrollable.Your dog isn't likely to puke in the same spot twice.Hopefully that will give you some peace of mind.
