Couch Covers: A Very Good Idea!

Dogs are fun, affectionate and joyful.  Honestly, the list goes on and on!  Believe it or not, there are some downsides to owning a pet.  Though messes are bound to happen, it’s always better to spend less time cleaning and more time exploring with your furry friend.  Putting a stop to dirt, mud and hair before it gets on your furniture is an easy task if the right tools are utilized.  This is where couch covers come into play!

Furniture protectors and covers help pet owners manage all of the messes that can accompany a dog.  Not only does it keep the actual couch clean, but it can help prevent rips and tears caused by pets.  Couch covers prevent dirt, mud and hair from penetrating through to the upholstery.  One of the best things about couch covers is that you can wash them!  We suggest that you remove the couch cover and give it a good shake outside before you place it in the washer.  This will help with the durability of the couch cover.

At this point, you’re probably wondering what kind of furniture protector to look for.  We suggest that you find a waterproof couch cover.  This will help soak up liquid messes before they seep through to the furniture.  Also look for items that are easy to clean, have non-slip backing, and are attractive to the design of your home (if this matters to you!).

Pay close attention to the sizing of the couch cover before making the purchase.  It’s best to measure your couch to ensure proper measurements throughout.  You can even put your pet’s favorite blanket on top of the couch cover as well.  This will definitely make them feel right at home!  Lastly, if you’re on the go and you want to keep your car clean, there are car seat covers for pets as well.
