As an obsessed pet parent, there are few things that excite me more than an image of one of my beloved animals. I’m not embarrassed to say that I photograph them constantly and their images are placed all over the house.

So when I heard about PrideBites™, a company that creates dog toys with a personalized touch, it was very intriguing! Their diverse range of products, which includes everything from beds to clothes to toys, could all be customized to my specific wishes. (Sure, there are many other companies that claim to do the same thing and will add your pup’s name to an item, but do they also add a custom photo? I don’t think so!)

Since Charlie loves a soft snuggle spot, I chose to review the paw print placemat. (He actually prefers to nap on a placemat, rather than eat there. Quirky, I know.) The personalization process was easier than I thought it would be. I got to choose the font, style, size, and color; add his name, and then upload a favorite image. Total cost? Only $24.99!

The creation process took about 3 1/2 weeks, with the final product arriving in time to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Charlie’s gift put him in a very festive mood and we made it into a celebration.

Here is the placemat image close up. Doesn’t the artist’s rendition look wonderful? Not only did they capture his little face, I feel his sweet personality also shines through.

I’m not the only one that’s taken notice of these awesome products, either. On Friday, April 8th, PrideBites appeared on Shark Tank, scoring a “Yes!” from TWO Sharks, which is huge! Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec offered $200,000 in exchange for 20% equity which was accepted.

Hopefully this influx of capital will help the company grow into something huge!
