Keep your dog cool with these paw-fect budget solutions to ensure tails are wagging, not flagging. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up POOL PARTY: Every dog deserves their own private pool for summer. Pick up a children's paddling pool from B&M for £8 as it's the perfect depth for most breeds to splash about in and cool down. Or for smaller dogs, a washing-up bowl works just as well. Remember to only fill with a few inches of cool water and watch them splash about. N'ICE IDEA: Skip overpriced pet shop treats and whip up your own healthy, cooling snacks. According to the PDSA, The vet charity for pets in need ( you can mash bananas and berries with water and add the mixture to an empty ice cube tray. Freeze and then give to your pets as a tasty, cold, lickable treat, while always keeping an eye on them to prevent choking hazards. Another idea is to freeze your pet's water bowl or add ice cubes to their water in hot weather. MAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT: A cooling mat is a great on-the-go option for dogs. Sainsbury's has a small breeds cooling mat for £5, or get a slightly larger one at Tesco for £7. Or fill a freezer bag with ice cubes, then wrap it in a thin tea-towel or towel. Place this under your pet's bed or blanket for an instant cooling effect that will last for hours. SHADE BRIGADE: Protect your pet from direct sunlight by hanging old bedsheets between fences or over your washing line to create a shade in your garden. Simple five-second rule to see if it's too hot to walk your dog and how to tell the four-legged friend has had a heatstroke, expert reveals If their bed is near a window, try moving it to a shady spot for the summer. A cardboard box on its side is also a way to create a shady 'den' for pets indoors. SPRAY AWAY: Dogs can get sunburn too, so if you're going to be out in the sun today, pick up a pet-safe solution.

Aldi slashes the price of its outdoor furniture by £75, and shoppers are calling the deal ‘madness'

Plus, eight garden features that add the most value to a property SO-FA, SO GOOD Aldi slashes the price of its outdoor furniture by £75, and shoppers are calling the deal 'madness' WITH some now in full force, millions of Brits are rushing to enjoy the glorious weather outdoors. But if your garden could do with some TLC, you may wish to plan a trip to the nearest Aldi, where thrifty shoppers have spotted an epic deal. 2 The mega retailer has sent shoppers into a frenzy with their latest offer Credit: Getty 2 Thrifty Brits can now save an eye-watering £75 thanks to the epic deal Credit: facebook/aldi shoppers The popular discount store has long been the go-to for many cash-savvy Brits when it comes to food - and the German retailer has now also stepped up its garden range. According to one fan of the supermarket, Aldi has slashed the price of stunning outdoor furniture - and you can save a whopping £75. Taking to Facebook to inform fellow bargain-mad shoppers about the epic deal, Chris Thomson revealed that Aldi is now selling an outdoor furniture set for a mere £24.99. The set - which includes two gorgeous chairs to relax in, as well as a smaller table - was originally going for an eye-watering £100. The stylish chairs come with light grey cushions that are ideal for providing that extra comfort when you're enjoying your morning coffee outdoors - or soaking up the sun whilst reading. The light grey style goes perfectly with the mini table, which is large enough for an outdoor candle and a bottle of your favourite tipple. If you want an extra pop of colour, you could also chuck on some bright patterned cushions - or a vibrant throw to keep you toasty during the chilly evenings. Given the epic price, it's advised to best race to the local Aldi as soon as possible to avoid disappointment on missing out. However, it's worth remembering that each location has varying stock - so some Aldi stores may not have this bargain. In his post, Chris revealed that he had bagged the gorgeous buy in Carlisle. I was quoted over $13k for my backyard garden renovation - but I did it myself with ChatGPT and saved over $11,000 At just £24.99, Aldi's cut-price version is significantly cheaper than at rival stores, where similar versions could cost you hundreds more. John Lewis shoppers, for instance, will have to fork out an eye-watering £299 - while furniture retailer Daals is charging customers an astronomical £729. Amazed by the epic deal, Chris wrote in the caption: ''Bargain from to £24.99 from £ Garden features that add the most value to a house A well-kept garden can add anywhere between 5-20% to the value of a property. carried out a study and consulted 36 estate agents, garden designers and property professionals from across the UK.
