Is it best to have a fabric or leather sofa when you have a dog?

I have an 8 month old puppy and when i first got him I had a leather sofa, I found that he scratched it a lot but I really wanted a fabric sofa, the only thing stopping me from going out and buying one was the fact that my puppy scratched the one we already had. Because I'd had the leather sofa for a long time I was not that bothered about it getting scratched but I thought to myself 'I am more likely to stop my dog from scratching my sofa if it was a new, fabric one that I actually like' so I bought one and I was right, I stopped my dog from scratching my sofa and after a week he did not do it anymore.
I also felt guilty as animals are killed to make leather sofas, and that is one of the reasons that I decided that I did not like my leather sofa and that I wanted a fabric sofa.

-they are easy to clean
BAD THINGS ABOUT LEATHER SOFAS
-animals are killed to make them
-pets are more inclined to scratch them as they are attracted to the smell
-they are cold(especially on a morning) and take a long time to warm up
-they are not as comfy as fabric sofas
GOOD THINGS ABOUT FABRIC SOFAS

-they are much warmer than leather sofas
-they are comfier and easier to relax on
-nothing is killed to make them
BAD THINGS ABOUT FABRIC SOFAS
-people think that they are easier to scratch

Can dog sweat harm leather sofa?
I thought dogs do not sweat... that is why they pant. The acids present in dog sweat and body secretions can severely damage the finish on leather furniture. If at all possible do not allow your dog to sit directly on the leather but always on a rug. Using a good quality leather protector and cleaning very regulalry with a maintenance product like Lazy Leather can help to minimise any problems.

Where is the leather on your dog?
The ear flaps are called 'leather'.
Why is a dog's ear called leather?
It is just a term used by dog breeders and handlers. When you gently feel the ear flaps of some dogs, they do seem very leather-like, don't they? But leather is the result of the process of tanning, and that certainly has not happened to the ears of living dogs.
How do you protect leather sofas from dogs?
It's very simple obviously don't let your dog go up in the sofa, or the best is why not try to cover your sofa. You can buy or have the sewer sew a cover for your sofa. In that case you can have a nice cover and at the same time you protect your sofa from your dog, not to scratch it.

What should I do when I let my dog on the leather couch but he scratches it?
Personally, I would begin to teach the dog to keep off the sofa. If you feel that you would still like your dog to stay on the sofa, then a good way to stop them from scratching is to use a small water bottle and everytime sratching occurs, use a small squirt on the dog's back to give them a shock. If even this doesn't work, the best thing to do is to pull them off the sofa! Hope this info helped!

A dog should not be allowed on the sofa if it is dirty, or if it pees a lot. or if its too big of a dog. You wouldn't want 1) your sofa to smell cause of your smelly dog. 2) your sofa to smell like pee or get peed on. 3) your dog to take up all the room on the sofa!
