Aldi shoppers 'need' new £4.99 tipple-themed plush toys for their dogs


Aldi has introduced a range of fun new toys for four-legged friends with a novelty twist so they can 'join' their owners in their summer evening tipple.

Shoppers visiting their local Aldi can now keep their eyes peeled in the supermarket's Specialbuys aisle for Plush Dog Toys in the shape of alcohol bottles, complete with label details to resemble the likes of gin, champagne or vodka. Priced at £4.99 each, the toys from Pet Collection come equipped with a squeaker sure to keep pups entertained - and give their owners a good giggle in the process, too.

Available in stores only, pet parents can choose from Pawsmith Strawberry & Rose Gin, Lemon Drizzle Cake Gin Lickeur, Apawrini, Meowsigny Champagne, Woofflegen German Wheat Beer, or Saint Grrrmont French Vodka for their pooch. And Aldi shoppers have already vowed to snap up the toys for their pups after the retailer showed them off on Instagram.

"These are amazing!" another shopper said.

One pet owner wrote: "Got my Labrador the gin, he loves it."

And someone else added: "My dog loves his pink gin one." The toys aren't currently available to buy on the Aldi website, but you can take a closer look at them here.

The toys aren't the only additions to Aldi's Pet Supplies section that have left shoppers impressed recently. The supermarket recently re-introduced the bestselling Sunshade Dog Bed, designed to help pooches enjoy the great outdoors whilst being protected from the sun in the warmer months, which has been praised as "absolutely brilliant" and "perfect" by pet owners.

If you miss out on the alcohol-themed plush toys from Aldi, Sainsbury's is offering a similar product in the form of Beer Dog Toys for £6. Dog gift website Postman Pooch also sells several similar toys including canine takes on Coors, San Miguel, Smirnoff, Guinness and Peroni.
