Aldi’s sell-out velour dog beds are back to provide the comfort your pet deserves
Whether you’re after the scalloped armchair or canine carrier, here’s the lowdown on the latest pet-friendly Specialbuys
You may only recently have become a pet parent or you may have had a fluffy friend for as long as you can remember, but chances are you love spoiling them with new accessories.
Luckily, Aldi’s Specialbuys section is here to help. Following the success of its velvet scalloped armchair, which sold out almost instantly when it first launched, and its Insta-worthy scallop bed range, it’s no surprise the affordable retailer expanded its collection last year to include velvet scalloped armchairs and sofa beds for your pet.
Both options sold out (of course), but are now back for autumn 2022, and come with a sleek design that wouldn’t look out of place anywhere in your home.
The best news is your bank account won’t take too much of a hit, as the dog beds, which come in grey and royal blue, start at just £39.99. Plus, this week’s Specialbuys contain a whole host of other pet essentials to get your paws on – from cat scratchers to dog carriers.
Owing to the reputation of Aldi’s Specialbuys – be that the brand’s Le Crueset cookware dupes or nine-function air fryer– we predict a sell-out.
