Leather furniture repair?

Anyone know how to fix minor tears and scratches in leather furniture?

We just got a new leather sectional and recliner, and the stupid dog scratched it and chewed on an other part of it. Nothing major, but enough to **** you off. I am looking for a way to fix it so it doesn't tear more. Wife wants to superglue it. I said no.

Call a leather expert in your area. I know there are things that can be done to repair it depending on what type of leather it is and all. Superglue could make it unrepairable so talk to an expert first.

I know how you feel. My dog's nails put "nicks" in the leather on my couch/loveseat. She also has the cushion on the back of the loveseat pushed down from sitting/laying on it. Let us know if you find anything out.

They have repair kits for about $50, but I know nothing about it.

Get on the phone and talk to an expert. You'll get ideas of what to do from that. I've done some work with leather-cleaning it and have ran into situations where I needed to find pros to talk to. At the very least they'll tell you if repair is even possible..
