Home Bargains reveals cheap £2.49 items to keep your pets cool in summer as temperatures soar to 25C
SUMMER is approaching and Home Bargains is providing affordable ways to keep you pets cool for the hot days.
The discount variety store has a range of items as low as £2 on sale from their pets section.
These buys help remove having to rely on keeping the fan running or constantly using water to keep animals cool.
As Home Bargains suggest, it is crucial to ensure pets do not overheat because “If you’re hot, your pets are hotter…and no, panting isn’t a vibe.”
Their products can therefore be useful in summer days, even whilst not at home.
One item you may not think about for buying for your fury friends is a Summer Cooling Toy, being sold at Home Bargains from MyPets.
The discount retailer is selling their cooling toys for just £1.49, and they come in a variety of fruits.
You can choose from a grape, strawberry or pineapple toy, that is designed with durable, pet-safe materials that can help regulate your pet’s body.
It can be used by placing the toy in the freezer for a few hours before use, and will provide hours of entertaining play for animals on hot days.
Another useful summer addition to the pet collection could be a Pet Cooling Vest or Bandana.
The Pets Cooling Bandana costs just 79p, and can just be wrapped around cat or dogs neck, providing both cooling and style.
It is made from cool touch 100% polyester, so is still comfortable for animals to wear on scorching days.
The Pet Cooling Vest is being sold for £2.49, made from the same material but can be word around their body.
A final cheap item for your animals over the summer could be a Pet Cooling Mat which can be bought for £3.99 from Home Bargains.
Pets can lie on the mats to provide relief from heat and prevent overheating or discomfort.
And for a slightly higher price of £10, you can purchase a Pet Cooling Sprinkler Mat that can be attached hose for water to spray out.
