Not a legal question but hoping someone here can help. I have a 2 year old yellow lab which basically means he both sheds a lot and is pretty energetic. Any suggestions on a good couch? Looking for something that can hold up to him jumping on and off of it and is easy to clean but is also comfy (we’re a big movie-night-on-the-couch type of family). Thank you!!

Macy's Radley/Radford sofa/sectional. They come in a beigey golden color. Hold up well. Cushion covers washable.

Second this couch for pets. It’s pretty easy to vacuum!

My parents have two golden retrievers and they have a leather couch. Tbh, the couch is ugly and they don’t like the way it looks (it came with their house) but they kept it because it holds up great with the dogs!

I just got the phantom leather couch from Apt2B. It has hidden footrests and is so comfy! I ordered leather swatches from a few places and scratched at them with my nails and put different cleaning solutions on them, and the Apt2B leather held up the best. Definitely test out swatches but I think a coated leather is the way to go.

I have a black mutt who sheds like a lab. We have the West elm harmony in one of their performance fabrics and its held up great. We got an ottoman just for the dog (crazy I know) but she loves it. It’s super easy to clean

I have a yellow lab too. I take him to a groomer every two months to blow out his coat. And I have a Jordan’s sectional with a cuddler it was called “max home”instead of buying the Sunbrella I got the standard fabric- then I bought like 4 cans of scotch guard fabric water shield and put the cushions in my yard and sprayed them. Now if I spill wine, anything on it it doesn’t sink in. Dogs fur vacuums a right off. I also have the ruggable rug which I wash 2x per year minimally.

Light brown leather couch. We have a newf.

Suggest LoveSac! You’re able to pick different fabrics and the covers can be washed! When we got our couch, I specifically complained about dog hair and the sales rep was very helpful with picking out the right fabric and color. We haven’t had any issues and our dogs hair doesn’t stick to the couch.

I have a chocolate lab and an Ikea Kivik couch. The couch came first, but I will say it has proven to be pretty dog-friendly. The cushion covers are removable and are easy to vacuum and clean. I also love that you can replace the upholstery without having to buy a new couch. I got a dark grey cover when I bought the couch in 2012 and swapped it for beige in 2019. The foam cushions haven’t sagged or gotten lumpy, even with a 75 pound animal lounging on it 15 hours a day.

Following in hopes someone suggests something that can stand up to our cats. I’ve had cats all my life, but the current hoard are a bunch of Tasmanian devils.

My Ikea Farlov sofa came before my 2 y/o doodle/lab mix, but it’s been great. She and I both love the deep bench seat, perfect for snuggling up or stretching out, and the cushions have totally held up to her jumping on and off. Her preferred method of drying herself off is burrowing into the cushions and rolling around so it’s taken a beating and the cushions still look good and are comfy. I can’t comment on how it deals with hair as my pup doesn’t shed, but the covers have held up well to muddy paws and various messes. They’re easy to remove and clean, and I love that there are lots of options available to replace the covers both directly from IKEA or from other online sellers.

Jamstack development has been a long time coming. The name is a play on JAMstack, a site used to manage and publish static sites.

But, of course, these would need their server to host them, which cost a lot of money and took up precious resources in the cloud.
