Our two lurchers are our babies and can do almost no wrong in our eyes! However we are now doing up our open plan kitchen/ dining/ hangout space and would like a seating area which is, well, useable by respectable humans.
Currently there's 2 ancient sofas which over the years have had the cushions shredded and de-stuffed by occasional but enthusiastic couch cushion "digging". One is a reclining fake leather type chair which they have destroyed effortlessly. Both sofas have permanent sofa covers over the top, which are also shredded. We haven't minded up to now as the layout of the room meant only the dogs used or saw that bit of the space. However, now the layout is changing the seating area will be in full view, and use, by us and guests.
Is there such thing as a sofa that enthusiastically digging nails won't destroy??! Or any ideas to protect a sofa when we are not there?
P.s. the dogs are happy, well looked after, well socialised, and well exercised - they are so good in the house and couches are the only thing they ever destroy - but it's a bit of a biggie!
