One of the worst parts about owning a pet is how they can ruin furniture in your home. If you allow them to sit on your sofa (which quite a few pet owners do), their claws can quite easily damage the cover. Even if you don’t allow them to, a cat could still quite easily use the cloth covering to sharpen their claws, and damage the cloth as a result. To a certain extent, this issue is unavoidable, but there are certain products that you can buy which will help to prevent this from occurring to your furniture.

Firstly, you should consider buying furniture meant just for your pets. Dog and cat beds are good examples, but you can also buy some pretty cool furniture which both you and your pet can use, like chairs with an area underneath for your dog to sit.

Moderating your cats behaviour with feliway is another thing worth looking into. This can help to reduce their stress and stop territorial disputes, which are a couple of reasons why they sharpen their claws. A cat scratching pole is another thing you should look at.
