Our first family vacation with our toddler and dog, and yes, the dog decided to chew part way through a post in the stairwell and nibbled on a few others. It appears to be very old stained wood and there is definitely previous damage to it, but my dog did enough that this is going to stick out like a sore thumb. This is through a rental property company and their policy says must notify them asap if damage occurs, and the leaser is 100% responsible for any pet damage. Have not let them know yet as this happened on literally the first night of our stay. How screwed am I? if they need to replace all of the posts “to match” or something, can I push back to only pay for the few that my dog damaged?
