Semi-aniline leather is a good option for pet-friendly households, particularly compared to fully aniline leather.
The light protective finish helps make it more resistant to everyday wear, light spills, and surface marks, which can be helpful in homes with cats or dogs. It is also easier to clean than untreated leather.
That said, semi-aniline leather is still a natural material. Sharp claws can scratch any leather surface, and repeated abrasion in the same area may show over time.
Care tips for homes with pets
- Keep pets’ claws trimmed where possible
- Use throws or blankets on favourite resting spots
- Wipe away dirt or moisture promptly with a soft cloth
- Avoid using harsh cleaners or wipes
With sensible care, semi-aniline leather will age naturally and develop character over time, even in busy, pet-friendly homes.
