Lidl Is Selling a Dog Bed with a Sun Shade, and We Hope There’s Room for Us, Too
This summer is going to be a scorcher. The temperatures are rising and we’re already preparing for hot days and humid nights. As you bust out your best summer life hacks in an attempt to stay cool, remember that there’s someone else you need to take care of, too: your dog.
Your pup can’t tell you when they’re overheating, so it’s important to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re drinking enough water and staying cool. Now, thanks to this new dog bed, they can enjoy a summer day in the comfort of the shade.
This dog bed is a total game changer because it comes with a removable sun shade—meaning your pup can still relax outside and enjoy the warm weather without getting too much sun. After a rollicking game of fetch or some doggy paddling in the pool, they can plop down in the shade. Or, they can spend the entire afternoon there just snoozing. The bed can hold up to 60 kilograms (about 132 pounds) and offers protection up to UV 50. Your dog will spend the entire summer lounging on it.
The dog bed is available from Lidl for £19.99 (a similar item is also available in the U.S. on Amazon).
If your cat is the jealous type, don’t worry—Lidl has a chair for felines, too. It doesn’t come with a sun shade, so be sure to place it in the shade, but it sure looks comfy. It’s the perfect spot for a summer afternoon cat nap. We wish it came in human size.
The cat chair is available from Lidl for £12.99 (a similar item is also available in the U.S. on Amazon).
The collection launches on Sunday, June 30th and also includes a cooling mat for £6.99 and a dog paddling pool for £29.99. As Country Living notes, the items won’t be available online, so be sure to head to Lidl to snatch them up ASAP before the temperatures rise even more.
