A friend gave us a one year old leather couch. It was in her house, which has 8 dogs living in it. We cleaned it well for two days.
Day after we got it we started noticing moths in our house, just one or two at first. Now, 10-15 a day. Never saw one moth in our 4 yr old condo before that.
Reason this feels like an emergency: We have two small puppies. Did these moths come from Lice? Fleas? Ticks? From her house? And if SO…Are our puppies in danger now????? Does anyone know anything about this?
Thank you!

There could have been moth eggs in the couch. The puppies are definitely not in danger. In fact, they could provide fun, tasty treats for your dogs! (As long as there aren't any pesticides on them.) My dog loves to chase the moths that get into the house, and he eats them when/if he catches them.

Puppies come from dogs, babies come from humans, moths come from ...moths. It's not likely a moth can harm a puppy even if it's ingested. A female moth probably laid her eggs in the sofa stuffing. The moth 'babies - really worm like things' eat the stuffing for sustenance. Then they metamorphosis into Moths.
Do try to get rid of them, your clothing and other fabric items are more in danger than your puppy.
Good luck.

No your puppies are fine! However your curtains are in danger...Take you, and your pets out of the house, along with that disgusting couch and call an exterminator...
