It is perfectly normal to adore your pet and treat it like it is your own child.
But one Australian swimsuit company has taken pet love to a bizarre new level by offering beachwear with your favourite animal emblazoned on the front.
Custom swimwear provider Petflair has set tails wagging by printing photos of pets onto bikinis, bags, towels, budgie smugglers and accessories as part of a very eccentric fashion trend.
Petflair has kick-started a bizarre new trend which sees people wear swimsuits with their pets emblazoned on the front
Customers can snap a photo of their beloved animals and order custom-made swimwear
The company has started a Kickstarter page which now has $10,000 with a goal of $15,000
Pet lovers wanting a snapshot of their forever friend displayed in technicolour on their person while out on the beach or at the pool can order it from their mobile phones.
Petflair, which recently launched on crowdfunding website Kickstarter, is owned by three Sydney entrepreneurs and prints its pet designs from a supplier in Europe.
Co-founder Tyler, who plays water polo for Australia, devised Petflair after his swimwear business was asked to print a dog on a swimsuit last year.
Customers simply have to snap a photo of their furry best friend on their mobile device, upload the picture to Petflair and choose a colour and pattern for their piece.
