Lidl launches £19.99 self-cooling dog bed for the summer
Keeping your dog cool is very important during a heatwave, as they can get heatstroke without shade and plenty of water. Grooming your dogs can also be useful, as it can remove dead or excess hair, leaving a slightly less dense coat. The RSPCA also recommends giving your pet damp towels to lie on or an ice pack wrapped in a towel.

This will be available to buy in-store from Thursday, August 7, alongside some other pet products. Explaining how the product works, Lidl explained: "One side offers a cooling surface for hot summer days, while the flip side gently reflects the dog's body heat, creating snuggle-worthy warmth for cooler nights. "Available for only £19.99, this clever dog bed provides pups with year-round comfort." Lidl was set up in Germany in 1930 when Josef Schwarz became a partner in a company called Südfrüchte Großhandlung Lidl & Co. This had been established by Anton Lidl since at least 1858 under the name & Cie, specialising in the sale of exotic fruits. Schwarz renamed the company Lidl & Schwarz KG and expanded into a food wholesaler. In 1977, under his son Dieter Schwarz, the Schwarz Group began to focus on discount markets and larger supermarkets. Dieter wasn't keen on using his own name for this, as the name Schwarz-Markt translates to 'black market'.
