I don't know anything about PB furniture, but I can give you my opinion about fabric. I had a cat who liked to destroy my furniture. I love cats, but I will not have another. I like nice furniture so I spend money on those investments. The only fabric I found that was indestructible was a traditional navy (or navy pattern) tweed - thick and extremely tightly woven - popular in the 1950s, 1960s, or 1970s. Have a good long talk with your furniture salesperson to be sure you get what you want. Also ask trusted neighbors and friends. Below is the

picture of mine. It's an Ethan Allen Melrose, but they don't have that style anymore.

Most PB padded furniture (sofas, loveseats, etc.) are available slipcovered. Unless you opt for leather, with pets I would always go for a slipcovered piece that can be laundered as necessary.

I've had dogs for about 35 years, they are allowed to go anywhere they want in the house except the bed, yes the couches.

I struggled for years trying to find a solution to issues dogs create on the couch. Cleanliness being at the top of the list.

Ive looked at new couches and quizzed sales folks about dog issues and most have stated that they are easily cleaned.

I have friends who have spent tons of money for a supposidly easy to clean couch with doggie residue and they look awful within a year.

I used to use neatly tucked sheets on the sitting area but was never really happy with it. Then someone suggested painters drop canvas because of it's durability and you get lots of bang for your buck.

I re-covered my 35 year old couch with the stuff (no sewing just lots of fussing) and have a separate piece just for the seat cushions that I wash at least once a week, more if needed. The canvas lasts a long time, looks nice and is cheap. I did buy some nice pillow covers to give things a punch, again easily washed.

When the canvas wears out I replace it

I'd love to have a beautiful couch, unfortunately I don't think doggies and beautiful couches go well together.
