[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had both and would generally say dogs cause more damage..:

Cats (2, in their teens, had since they were kittens): scratched up one armchair, had 2 peeing outside the box phases which we were able to resolve in a few weeks time with no permanent damage or excessive cost). For the pee, we used natures miracle, kept them out of the area, addressed the issue with litter box causing the issues, then rented a steam cleaner for carpet and let cats back in. No more peeing.

Dog (11mos): chewed a corner of an upholstered ottoman- ruined, scratched up several doors (she jumps and tries to open them with her paw), chewed up one dining table chairs leg, chewed up the trim on the pantry door, has knocked over a baby gate several times in a very physical manner resulting in minor wall damage, has chewed up the irrigation 2 times which needed repairing

Now, most of the dog stuff stopped months ago so I do think the small puppy phases is where most things happen. We have trained her and she listens much better now but still...

The main issue with cats tend to be severe peeing issues that are not resolvable. We’ve been lucky and not had those.
