Our fabrics are quality upholstery grade fabrics all with high rub-test scores. However some are tougher than others and our recommendations for scratching dogs are: For outer fabrics the Tweeds & Tartans are the toughest with a tight weave & withstand scratching really well. For the fleeces / furs the supersoft fleeces and faux furs are best for scratchers; the faux-sheepskin can shed.
