AS we approach the summer months, Aldi’s pet cooling range is due to hit its iconic middle aisle next week.

The budget retailer’s special buys are wheeling out hot weather hacks for hounds at half the price of the Crufts range for May 18.

The dog sprinkler mat (£6.99), which you plug into your hose and adjust the sprinkler intensity with your hose pressure, serves as both a cooling-down technique and a toy.

Available in prints ranging from a tropical sunset print to a classical leafy blue, you can nab one that fits your home decor. 

Likewise, the Sunshade Dog Bed for just £16.99 protects pooches from rays up to UV 50 and comes with a carry bag so you can lug it down to the beach. 

But either way, experts have warned pet owners to cover their pets’ snouts and ears with sun cream to protect them from skin cancer.

Another travel-friendly option is the Pet Cooling Mat (£5.99), which can be easily stuffed in a handbag.

It contains pressure-activated gel, so as soon as your pet hops on, it will start the cooling process.

For wriggly pets, the cooling vest and the pet cooling towel are selling for just £4.99. 

For real penny pinchers, the cat toy, moggy, and long-body dog toy are both just £2.99.
