Protecting Your Furniture From Your Dog 

Do you have a dog? If so, wear and tear on furniture is inevitable. The good news is that you can avoid most of these issues with specific dog-proofing measures. We have created some tips below that will help you along the way!

Choosing Pet-Friendly Furniture – This is the most important tip. We understand that not all furniture is pet-proof, but you can choose pieces that are more pet-proof than others. For example, you can select couches and cushions with washable fabrics that do not require professional cleaning.

Washable Throws & Blankets – The incredible thing about throws and blankets is that you can toss them in the washing machine when they get fur on them. You may also consider water and stain-resistant furniture covers as they do the same thing.

Grooming – Pets that are not brushed and groomed regularly will leave more fur behind. Not only that, but nail trimming can prevent scratches on furniture.

Cleaning – Your dog may have an accident on the furniture. Be sure to clean up messes immediately. One of the best things you can use is an enzymatic cleaner. This cleaner is excellent at eliminating odors and defending against the dog soiling in the same spot.

We hope that our list of tips helps you protect your furniture from your dog. Keep in mind that you may want to eliminate your dog from being on your furniture altogether. There is no need to feel bad about this. You must establish training techniques to teach your dog to stay off the furniture.
