We know you love your slobbering and accident-prone pup. Enough to let them chew their favorite bone on the sofa. But maybe you don't love that their slobber and accidents have turned your once-pristine couch into a bit of a landfill. Never worry about stains, scratches, or slobber again! Whether you're trying to prevent your leather beauty from accumulating claw marks or you just want something that'll keep fur off your prized velvet sectional, this post has got you and your couch covered! Not only do these covers have anti-slip backing, but they're also fitted to each individual couch cushion, so they're reallllly on there, ya know? Made of premium jacquard fabric (with a chic cross-hatch design) and a bit of Spandex, they won't wrinkle *and* will look like they've been shaped specifically for your couch. They're also water-resistant and offer stain and scratch protection if you're into that kind of thing. Promising review: "Everything fit perfectly, and it's sooo easy to clean up. I have four cats and two dogs, so between all of the fur, dirt, and occasional fur balls, I appreciate the ease of removing the covers for a quick cleanup. No more pulling out the shampooer. Just yank off the cover that needs cleaning and pop it in the washer." —Morgan R Get it from Amazon and Nolan Interior for $16.09+ (available in three sizes and 11 colors). Featuring a five-layer design topped with 100% waterproof TPU, this couch cover has all your basics, well, covered! It's got slip-resistant backing made of silicone because your sleepy pup tends to toss and turn when napping. I bet they're dreaming of running in the park. Promising review: "I am really impressed with this blanket. I ordered it to protect my sofa from my two very large German shepherds. So far, it has not budged, even with both dogs jumping up and settling in. The non-slip backing actually works, and the material feels durable without being stiff. "The blanket is lightweight, which makes it easy to spread over the couch, even in this big size. I chose the light taupe color, and it blends nicely with my living room. I also like that it is machine-washable, rip- and tear-resistant, and waterproof, which are all must-haves in a home with two energetic dogs. I am impressed enough that I am already planning to buy more." —Leah Alden-Jaswal Get it from Amazon for $17.94+ (available in six sizes and seven colors). I mean...you *can* give it to your dog, but dang. It's soooo soft and plush, I wouldn't blame you for keeping it for yourself. This blanket is great if you don't want something that lives permanently on your couch, and do want something that you can easily toss onto your bed or your dog's bed. And because it's double-sided — one is fleece, and the other is corduroy — this blankie is sure to keep your pup comfortable. Promising reviews: "My older bulldog sometimes does not know when she has to go out if she is sleeping. I did not want to keep her off the bed since she has been sleeping there nightly for many years. I keep this blanket on the bed all the time, just in case. She has had two accidents in the last three months, and the bed stays completely dry." —LillyAyn "My dogs absolutely love this soft, small, waterproof blanket. The blanket is ribbed and ultra soft on one side, and fleece on the other. Perfect for dogs that love to lick themselves but end up licking more of the couch than themselves." —thewitt82 Get it from Chewy for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors) or from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five sizes and four colors). Your butt and your dog will thank you for getting this padded couch cover. Cushion atop cushion? What more could you ask for? Oh, I guess you could ask for something that doesn't undermine your elegant aesthetic. Well, well, well. In addition to being ever so dashing and debonair, it's also water-resistant and has an anti-slip underside. You can even remove the cover and machine-wash the insert. Promising review: "I really appreciate this cover for several reasons. It’s soft to the touch and complements my neutral-colored sofa nicely. I also love that it’s washable, which makes maintenance easy. The grippy bottom prevents it from sliding around, and it has a streamlined design that isn't bulky. Overall, it’s a practical and stylish addition to my dog-friendly living space." —DMR Get it from Sunday Citizen for $63+ (available in three sizes and colors). As much as you love your little furball, you actually aren't that big a fan of balls of fur on your couch. No problem! This couch cover's three-layer design features a soft microfiber top layer, which is suuuuper easy to clean fur off of (just wipe, vacuum, or toss it in the washing machine). This reversible and water-resistant cover can easily be draped over your couch. And its non-slip elastic straps help keep it in place, so even if your furball has the zoomies, this cover ain't going anywhere! Promising reviews: "Two of my dogs are very heavy shedders, and dog fur is a real problem. With this cover, I can just use a whisk, broom, or vacuum to easily remove the hair. I have already washed one, and it does not shrink or look wrinkled after washing. I also have one for my loveseat, which is now technically the dogs' loveseat! :-)" —SmilenErin "This is actually my second one of these; I bought it so I could swap and wash one every couple of weeks. It's been almost two years now. The fit is good, and the design is genius — the little plastics to help tuck in are great. I only have to adjust it a little bit every few days, even though our dog is on it every day. I highly recommend it. Will buy again if I have to." —Windridr Get it from Amazon for $19.75+ (available in 10 sizes and 22 colors). Why so expensive? Well, it's an incredibly durable, waterproof, quilted upholstery whose fur-masking micro-weave gives it a linen-esque appearance. It wraps around the seat, back, and arms of your couch, which means full coverage, babe. And if you're looking for something that was designed with sustainability in mind, you should know that this is made with 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. JSYK: It's machine-washable, too! Buh-bye mud "stains." Promising review: "This is one heavy-duty, durable couch cover. And it stays in place! It's attractive and doesn't show dog hair. It's expensive but worth every penny!" —Rsepiphyte "I have two 100-pound dogs, and these couch covers have been great. They do not slide off the couch, and the fabric is thick, so no toenail rips in the fabric at all. Will definitely buy again." —Af N. Get it from Orvis for $159+ (available in three sizes and colors). This small, faux-fur blanket is completely vegan and cruelty-free! Its plush and velvety texture might just remind your doggo of cuddling up with their litter. You can lay this on your couch, bed, or floor, or use it to wrap your pup up like a burrito! It's water-resistant, so they can drool in their sleep and not create a little lake that soaks into your couch. Promising review: "My shar-pei loves her blanket so much. It withstands her chewing on it and rooting it around on her bed. Will definitely look at getting the larger blanket for myself!!" —Lindsey Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in 12 styles) and Unhide for $49 (available in 13 styles). Coziness is obviously important to you. That's why you have a three-seater recliner couch. So, it makes sense you'd wanna make sure your pup doesn't ruin the vibe by having an accident that's an annoyance to clean up. Well, now you have this three-piece waterproof cover to protect your furniture from absorbing your pet's liquid accident. It's also got an anti-slip bottom layer, elastic bands, and non-slip buckles — this thing is gonna make like a mountain and not be moved! Oh, and it's got handy utility pockets on either arm that you can slip remotes into. Just sayin'. Promising review: "We have had these covers for almost three months now, and they are a 10/10! We have two large dogs and two toddlers, and they are great! I’ve washed them many times, and there is no shrinkage. Super easy to put on and take off. Completely waterproof; my son's whole water bottle leaked out onto it, and my cup of coffee spilled on it with no leaks onto the furniture. Very happy with this product and would highly recommend." —Faith Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in 3 sizes and 22 colors). Don't wanna cover your entire couch just to prevent fur? Then this protector with a three-sided bolster is perfect for you. And your pup! They'll get a place to rest their little noggins, and you'll get to own a whole side of the couch again. Plus, it's super easy to spot clean, has a water-resistant bottom layer, and has a panel in the front that provides extra couch coverage. Promising reviews: "Looks great on the couch. It confines the hair, and my dog took to it immediately." —Joseph "It was perfect for our little boy. He loves the bolster that he rests his head on." —carole Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors) and Chewy for $34.95+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

I love that we're watching Up again! Promising review (Woodstock Organic Couch Cover): "Very happy with this couch cover...the quality, the materials, the color, the ease with which it can be washed, and generally I don't have to put it into the dryer, just let it air dry. It is rugged enough to withstand my dogs sitting and sleeping on it, yet it is still attractive. Nothing but the best for my Scotties!" —Judy B Get it from Amazon for $129+ (available in three sizes and nine styles) and Molly Mutt for $103+ (available in three sizes and 10 styles). Though suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, this water-resistant cover can be folded up and ready to go for camping excursions and other outdoor activities away from home.

Promising reviews: "He goes straight to it. Durable, lightweight, what we wanted for an outside mat." —Alyson "I would highly recommend this bed. It is high-quality, water-resistant for my dog who is incontinent. I bought another one, I liked it that much. Highly recommend." —Weezy Get it from from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors) and Chewy for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

And of course it's machine washable. Duh. Promising reviews: "These are very rugged and definitely hold up to two very large breed dogs and two cats. Keeping in mind it is not 'soft,' but it is tolerable. The trade off for complete softness is that it offers liquid, smell, and dirt protection." —anonymous "Dog hair brushes right off it and doesn't stick! Bonus!" —Katie Get it from Walmart for $49.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). Keep your couch dry and clean with this 100% waterproof furniture protector.

Promising reviews: "We are still battling to convince Franck that our couch is not an appropriate place to pee when he needs to go, or is annoyed with us, or is marking territory, or 'fill in the blank' of countless other reasons, but this cover has been a life-saver. Not one drop soaks through, and we bought a few, so if he goes where he shouldn’t, we just pop the soiled cover in the wash and throw a fresh one down." —Maggie "Fits my couch perfectly and prevents dog fur from getting in between my cushions. I was vacuuming my couch roughly once a week, if not more frequently, because my foster pup loves to roll around on the couch. This thing definitely makes those deep cleans a lot easier." —Alyssa Get it from Amazon and Chewy for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
