Pet Placemat Keeps Dog Dish Area Clean
You may love your dog, but you probably don't love cleaning up after your dog. If Fido is a messy eater or slobbers water all over the floor when he drinks, maybe a "pet placemat" is what you need. This Waterhog mat, which is available through L.L. Bean, has a ridged border designed to contain your pet's spills. It also has a rubber backing that is supposed to keep dogs from scooting their bowls all over the floor as they eat. Available in blue, burgundy, khaki, and green, the placemat comes in two sizes and holds two standard 10" diameter dog bowls. The price is $16.50 for the small version and $19.50 for the large (both hold the same size bowls--there's just more mat area in the larger one).
