Almost two-thirds of Americans currently have pets and they are not just companions; these fur-babies are treasured four-legged members of the family. It has been said that owning a pet not only brings a special kind of happiness to the household, but it can also be beneficial to the owners health.
Pet-friendly homes do not have to look like a dog house and style does not have to be sacrificed by throwing old, tattered sheets over your furniture. In this day and age, it is much easier to find furniture that can withstand the onslaught of hair, the incessant scratching, and the odors that come along with having a furry family member.
One of the most popular questions I often get asked is: What fabric would be pet-friendly? Allow me to explain.
Choosing the right fabric is essential and means you wont be tempted to banish your pets to the yard.

Some may believe that leather would not be ideal for a pet-lovers home, but this material is sturdy enough to withstand various pet vs furniture obstacles. It doesnt absorb odors and can be easily swiped clean of hair, dirt, and slobber. That being said, distressed leather is best because scratch marks can seamlessly blend into to its patina design. Another added bonus is that some say that most pets dont prefer to sit or sleep on leather because it is too cold in the winter and too sticky in the summer. Of course, this is debatable and totally dependent on your pets preference. Regardless, here are some options to consider.
