A couch cover for dogs is a washable layer that sits where your dog lies, catching fur, mud and accidents before they reach the cushions. Choose a waterproof cover if spills or wet paws are common, and one with a non-slip backing if your dog jumps on and off the sofa often.

Give your dog a defined spot on the sofa with a waterproof, non-slip cover, and wash it often so fur and dirt do not build up. Wipe paws after walks, keep nails trimmed and brush your dog regularly to reduce shedding. If you would rather keep your dog off the couch, offer a comfortable bed nearby and reward them for using it.
Look for a tightly woven, waterproof fabric that is easy to wash, with a non-slip backing so it stays in place. Smooth or cool-touch surfaces let fur brush off easily, while plush covers feel cozier but hold on to more hair. Darker colors also hide dirt between washes.
Smooth, tightly woven fabrics release pet hair more easily than fleece, plush or velvet, which tend to grab it. A quick pass with a rubber brush or lint roller and a regular wash keep any cover cleaner. Shaking the cover outside before washing also keeps hair out of your machine.
Choose a cover with a non-slip backing and size it to the cushion your dog uses rather than the whole sofa. Tuck any extra fabric into the gap between the seat and back cushions. On leather sofas, a grippy shelf liner underneath can add extra hold.
