Protect your pooch from the glare of the sun!

Thankfully dogs are made of skin and fur and not chlorine trifluoride (for the benefit of those who were rubbish at GCSE science, a very flammable thing).

But dogs still need protection from the sun or they'll melt, and nobody wants that. Thankfully, Aldi is here to help, with a dog bed designed for this exact scenario. Good old Aldi.

With a large portion of the UK press breathlessly reporting the nation is set for the ‘hottest summer ever’, with ‘at least five heatwaves’ on the horizon <cough, global warming> this looks an essential buy.

The Pet Collection Sunshade Dog Bed has a comfy seat for your pet to hop up on, and a waterproof and UV50 canopy to provide the shade they need. And get this, it's only £19.99!

The raised sling means your pet won’t scorch his tummy or feet on the ground when it’s really hot, while the shade will help to prevent heatstroke and sunburn.

Because they don't do sun lotion for dogs, apparently. Oooh, first one to patent that wins a fortune!
