With 2 pugs this sofa is a life saver! Really helps to keep dog hair off the couch (we are working to keep them off this one). With that being said, their nails will scratch the leather, we have a few nicks already just from them walking/jumping off :(. I’m ISO ways to keep the material from scratching further if possible. We love the color of the couch it goes perfect in our living room! The comfort of the sofa is amazing too!!
