Aldi’s pet event is back: Here’s everything you can buy, from dog beds to a grooming hair dryer

Keep your four-legged friend happy with these fun and practical purchases

You’d better be quick to bag a bargain as some items are already selling out (The Independent)

Affordable supermarket Aldi is known for serving up bargains galore in its middle aisle. The Specialbuys section covers everything from clothing and toys to garden furniture, candles, books and much more. Whether you’re in the market for a new cordless vacuum cleaner, drill, rug, pillows or cookware, chances are you’ll find it by browsing this budget retailer.

The shop stocks big-name brands as well as own-range buys, and spotting an item in real life depends on what you come across while strolling down the aisles. But there’s a vast array of online items to discover too, so you don’t need to live near an Aldi. In fact, by picking products online, you can also make the most of pre-ordering them before their in-store debut.

Items are usually available to buy online every Sunday and Thursday, so it’s worth keeping an eye out. This week, we’ve spotted the return of Aldi’s pet event, with products landing in the shops from Thursday 16 February. However, you can order online ahead of time now. In fact, some items have already sold out, so we’d recommend getting in there quick.

The event spans buys for all pets, with cats and dogs the primary focus. Standout spots so far include dog beds, food containers, harnesses, and even grooming hair dryers. Plus, other practical picks such as drying gloves, which will come in handy after a muddy walk; pet feeding mats to protect the floor, and much more.

Read on for a few key products we’ve been browsing for our pets.
