Need a cool mat for your dog's bowls?

I just realized tonight, as my son was grabbing my dog's bowls and lifting them up (and spilling all of the water out of them) that I have nothing under the bowls. This is a problem for a number of reasons. 1) It doesn't look good. (Why has it been like this for so long?) 2) My floor is unprotected! (especially with a 1-year old constantly spilling water on the floor!) and 3) It's not as clean and sanitary as it would be with a mat.

Why it took me so long to realize this I have no idea. But I do know that I will be ordering one of the adorable (and inexpensive) feeding mats from Floyd and Jake. This cute online boutique, (which offers a number of other awesome items for your dog like attire, spa items, collars, beds, and more) has a couple different styles to choose from.

I love the Stripey Dog Mat, which is a vinyl feeding mat with multi-color stripes with line images of dogs. It is 18”x 12” and sells for $7.50! But there are a number of adorable, fun, and funky styles to choose from, including some vintage designs, too.
