Gaia & Gino Chew Leg Cover: Furniture Protector or Chew Enabler?

Here’s the problem. You’ve spent thousands on some fancy furniture, but you also have Fido, a pooch who loves to chew on said fancy furniture. Training and bitter apple spray haven’t done a lick of good, and you’re about to cry your eyes out because the legs on your Wegner chair are about to look like bite-marked #2 pencils. What to do? Gaia and Gino have an interesting solution for you. Enter their chew leg cover, a modern looking natural rubber cover that you slip onto furniture legs, so your chew-prone pet and your luxury furniture can co-exist.
Now, the real questions are: Is this really going to solve your problem — Aren’t you just encouraging your dog to keep chewing on furniture? And is the chew leg cover better looking than bite-marked furniture (maybe, but not really that much better; at least not to me)? As the Wannekes website, which sells the product explains, this is for a “pampered pup” (read: spoiled).




























































Since the first time I saw this I thought it was an extremely bad idea. It’s like people who let their dogs chew on their old sneaker and wonder why they chewed on their new one too.
