I love living with dogs. Their unconditional love and acceptance is amazing, and I feel blessed every day by the two crazy mutts that call me dog mom.
What I don’t necessarily care for is dog hair everywhere. This is especially true because a few months ago, we got brand new living room furniture that cost a small fortune, and we were faced with the question do we continue to allow the dogs on the couch?
I mean, let’s be honest. In addition to the shedding, dogs can carry dirt and germs in from outdoors. Their claws can snag furniture. And I don’t know about yours, but one of my dogs likes to compulsively lick wherever she’s laying.
I didn’t want all this abuse on my new furniture, but my dogs are family and I didn’t want to keep them off the couch. That meant I had to find a solution.
I looked at a lot of furniture covers, but I didn’t find anything I was super impressed with. I didn’t want to hide my beautiful new furniture; I just wanted to protect it in a beautiful way. Honestly, it shouldn’t be so hard for a dog mom to have a nice home.
That’s when I found the large bolstered furniture protector from Solvit.
The bolstered style combines furniture protection and comfort for pets. The generously-filled bolster provides a cushion on three sides and serves as a backstop to keep pet hair from touching the upholstery. It’s also easily removed for cleaning or when guests arrive.
Because Nike is a big girl (about 70 pounds), I chose the large furniture protector in a cocoa brown color, which complements our furniture so nicely.
The Sta-Put™ straps keep the furniture protector in place so that it doesn’t move when our big girl lays down on it. She’s a nester, though, and she loves to “fluff up” her spot before she lies down, and sometimes the protector moves around a little bit but not enough for concern.
The bolstered furniture protector is great because it allows the dogs up on the couch with us, but it protects our investment from damage and dirt in a gorgeous way. I am really glad we found this and that it works so well in our home.
I think Nike is glad, too! One of her favorite activities is snuggling on the couch at night with her daddy, and now she’s able to do that with the Large Bolstered Furniture Protector from Solvit!

June 23, 2017 at 1:04 pmI would like the extra wide bench seat cover. Right now I use a sheet to cover my back seat and it either moves around or blows off and defeats the purpose anyway.

Linda Szymoniak says
June 23, 2017 at 9:33 pmActually, the large furniture protector in brown would be perfect for me! I have an older couch in the living room that the dogs are allowed to be on. However, they are NOT allowed on the new loveseat – and getting it through their stubborn heads isn’t easy. This would not only protect the furniture, but blend in beautifully!
kElly says
June 23, 2017 at 9:43 pmOh, I’d almost have to get the furniture protector. Living with a German shedder there’s fur EVERY where!

June 28, 2017 at 9:26 pmI would like the deluxe bench seat cover for the car. My son will not take his dog to the vet in his car because of the dog hair so we always end up taking her. Problem solved. Wow
Jill Van Vlack says

June 29, 2017 at 7:08 amThe furniture protector looks great. I have tried many other things that just don’t work well.
Sarcastic Dog says
June 29, 2017 at 11:04 amI’d have to go with the large couch protector or a safety harness for Piper for the car.
Carmen Clement says
June 29, 2017 at 11:50 amI would love to get the little guy a bed.
Shelley Atkinson says
June 29, 2017 at 12:05 pmI’d choose a furniture. protector. When we first rescued our dog, she shed horribly. Now that she is on a good food it has stopped. She has now made the couch and bed her favorite places. Of course, now she is starting to shed a bit, I guess for summer and I want to limit the amount of hair.
Ruth Epstein says
June 29, 2017 at 12:14 pmI would love the furniture protector as my Boss moans all the time about the fur on his couches and would give it to him as a gift
Christine Aiello says
June 29, 2017 at 1:03 pmI would love the Standard Pet Safety Seat, Brown.
