How will this hold up to pets? Does it seem like it will scratch or rip from their nails with normal use?

I have it in my bachelor pad/man cave and I smoke cigars on it everyday...so far, it's held up to everything I've thrown at it. Great quality!

I've had it for about 9 months now and its held up great. I have a medium size dog that only occasionally gets on the coach but no issues so far.

I think the fabric will hold up, we have a cat with claws. I bought the love seats for a 6 bed assisted living, so they are getting alot of use.

It seems like it is pretty durable but if you don't want to risk it I would put blanket for them.

I have a yorkie dog that has long sharp toenails, jumps all over my furniture and there's not a scratch or mark on it. It's very thick and durable - would recommend to pet owners. I absolutely 100% love it.

seems to hold up well ,of course i put a quilt on the seating area.but the quality is very good I believe it will hold up nicely to pets as long as the seat cushions are covered.

How is the padding holding up? I often see sofas with the pillow type cushions that have gone flat like deflated balloons over time.

I'd assume her nails would puncture the tube. It's not flimsy or cheap but I know that my rescue dog has pretty sharp nails. I wouldn't trust it.

I think it is vinyl or some sort of plastic like that. I'm really not too sure. It has a suede-like finish and is easy to wipe clean. So far, neither of my dogs' nails have scratched it at all, when they jump up onto it, so I am very happy with my purchase.

It will probably hold up, but if your dog has long nails, they can get caught on and possibly tear the lining. The mesh is pretty durable, but still it could happen.

Won't hurt dogs unless they chew it up. Our dogs don't have any problems with this.

The nails are encased in a plastic cover that helps alleviate scratches. The plastic is hard but not as sharp as the real nail would be. I take my dog to the vet where she is groomed and have them put them on her claws after they trim them. This is done every 4-6 weeks and has helped alleviate scratches to our hard wood floors. Wax marks are now left on the sliding glass doors as she jumps up when she sees squirrels, but these are washed off easily. I hope this information helps you. My Irish Setter rarely chews on them after they are on her claws.

The cushion is removable... I would imagine your dog is very small, and would think it would hold up if your dog is gentle. My cats digs their nails in and out of it and is fine.

The plastic seems pretty tough, but it has that brushed fabric feel to it. Cats claws may go through it, but I doubt a dog's claws will - unless they're really determined.

It won't rip. I've got 14 and a 16 pound tom cats with razor sharp claws (I need to clip them more often!) No problem for years! After about 3 years in the sun and rain the color starts to fade and then you can rip it with your hands and it needs replacing. But until then it just won't rip unless you use good scissors.

It's pretty sturdy, but accidents can happen, especially if nails are not trimmed. Because I wasn't very diligent with the nail trimming, my cat ended up puncturing it, but he wore it for 4 months or so before that happened. His wounds wouldn't heal this time; plus he could reach the lower part of his hind legs. I'm thinking of combining this with the clear plastic cone. There's a picture of a cat wearing it, so it appears to fit well. I tried the soft cone, but it was too big for my poor cat. His peripheral vision was shot, and he was miserable. Didn't want to move at all. 'Hope this helps.

I had a little dog on mine once and it scratched it pretty good but didn't rip. I would avoid pets on them.

If your cat has claws, I don't think it will hold up. I have had mine for a long time now, but I am also ensuring there is nothing sharp coming in contact with it.

Yes, the texture if furry, but the texture isn't looped. It's very soft and smooth. I guess it's possible for a dog's nails to get caught, but it seems pretty hard for that to happen.

I've used the same one for 7 months and still not to scratched . How often depends on usage and things like acrylic nails

i would say durable and i have three dogs and two cats that are constantly using/abusing it.

My cat doesn't scratch on the carpet, so I'm not sure how it would hold up against a cat's claws. But it seems to be pretty decent; like cheap carpet you would find in an apartment. :) As others have said, the whole unit is so well made and sturdy, it would be worth re-carpeting it if the carpet wore out, in my opinion.

I have only had it a few days but the non ruber parts do not scratch with my fingernails so I think don't think minor scratches are going to be a problem
