Slurping water, splattering food -- they come with the territory when you own a pet. Add two, three or even four critters to your brood and you've got yourself a date with the mop and bucket on a regular basis. But there's a polite and pretty way to break that date, thanks to placemats by Sean Camargo.
The dad of four dogs makes machine-washable, bone-shaped placemats in a wide array of colors and lively patterns to fit the tastes of any pet lover. "I have four dogs so there's just constant mess with water and food everywhere," Camargo tells PEOPLEpets.com. "So I started making [placemats] and they became popular with friends."
He began his foray into animal décor and clothing when he adopted a severely malnourished shelter dog named Sugar. "I made her a little fleece jacket and one thing led to another," he explains. "And then I moved into the tote bags and mats."
These days, he designs everything from placemats and adorable tote bags to towels and clothes (bow ties, jackets and dresses). Have an item in mind? No problem! Camargo will send you fabric samples and help you decide which colors go best for your dog or décor. "I just did a custom order for a woman who was including her two dogs in her wedding," he says.
Check out Camargo's Etsy shop and snatch up a placemat (only $8-$10!) or some stylish pet clothing for a special occasion.
