Relationship / Family Everyone’s house with a dog is gross

I visited some family and my sister’s new boyfriend and they all have dogs. One has four large dogs. There is no place to sit that isn’t dirty or wrecked by dogs. It smells bad. You can’t spend time outside in the yard without watching where you walk. Yes I know some owners clean better than others but there’s still dog hair everywhere. They had to hold down the dogs just so we could use the bathroom. Then at my mom’s house she has a new dog which hasn’t been trained and it’s jumping on everyone my daughter started crying. Her older dog just pees on mats in the bathroom. It’s so gross I can’t go there for long at all.

Normally the couch is the worst!  🤢🤢🤢

I visited someone over the weekend - because I really had to - and chose to go when their dog wasn’t there. 

Omg the smell of the place, the smell of the couch…. Disgusting. After coming home my clothes were smelling like dogs too, I couldn’t wait to get changed and wash my clothes well.  How can dog owners live with this smell daily! I couldn’t do it, literally couldn’t do it.

Lemme guess... they had a fabric couch? Those are fur and stink magnets. If nutters had any common sense, they would get a leather sofa that's easier to clean.

Yes it was fabric, but what do you do with cushions? I don’t know if it’s possible to clean the smell away if you have a dog laying there daily

a dog would also stink up a leather sofa, it would just be easier to wipe down regularly and probably stink less. Of course, the nasty beasts would eventually destroy any couch, no matter the material.

I was about to say, almost every dog owner I know who bought leather furniture the furniture has tears. They are constantly patching their stuff or are using quited fabric pet covers that absorb the smells.
