A sofa cover for dogs protects your sofa and keeps your dog happy. But with blanket-style covers, scratch-resistant fabrics and one-piece designs, which should you choose? Here is a quick guide.
Types of Sofa Cover
Blanket-Style Covers
Versatile and affordable, these cover the seat or the whole sofa. They are great for everyday use: see our Pet Sofa Cover & Blanket.
Scratch-Resistant Chenille
Thick fabric that resists claws, ideal for dogs that scratch or knead. Discover our Scratch-Resistant Chenille Sofa Cover.
Plush Fabrics
Very soft and cosy, perfect for winter and dogs that love to snuggle into warmth.
One-Piece Covers
These wrap the entire sofa in one piece for full coverage and a tidy look.
Features to Look For
- Non-slip backing: a rubber base keeps the cover in place even when your dog moves.
- Waterproof fabric: protects the sofa filling from liquids and odours.
- Machine washable: essential for hygiene.
- Non-shedding fabric: choose fabrics that are easy to brush clean.
How to Choose the Size
Measure your sofa's width, seat depth and backrest height. If your dog lies on just one section, a seat cover is enough. For full coverage, choose a large size or a one-piece cover.
Care
Wash the cover once a week, brush your dog regularly and keep a lint roller handy to keep the sofa clean and fresh.
