Aldi has announced the return of its sell-out paddling pool for pets in time for the UK's current heatwave.
The £8.99 collapsible pool from Aldi’s Pet Shop range, which returned to stores on June 21 after a sell-out launch last year.
Aldi says the pool is easy to set up, simple to store and suitable for gardens of all sizes.
The budget supermarket says UK Google searches for "pet pools" have risen by 56% compared to last summer, highlighting growing demand for affordable pet cooling products.
The pool is part of Aldi’s wider Pet Shop range, which also includes Dog Floating Toys at £3.99, and a Pet Cooling Bed priced at £12.99.
The bed is designed to keep dogs comfortable away from hot patios or garden decking, while the floating toys are ideal for water games.
Another item is Aldi’s Cooling Dog Toy (£2.49), a chew toy that can be frozen to give dogs a refreshing treat.
Aldi expects strong demand for the range and reminds shoppers that stock is limited.
As with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: "Pets are part of the family, and we are always looking for ways to help our customers keep their four-legged friends happy and comfortable, especially during the warmer months.
"Our Pet Shop range has been designed to offer fun, practical solutions at unbeatable value to help keep dogs cool all summer long."
