Winter is well and truly upon us, and if you’re anything like us, you’re probably looking for ways to keep warm without sending your power bill through the roof.
Well, ALDI has just unleashed a new winter essential that’s sure to warm your heart—and your lap!
That’s right, ALDI’s famous middle aisle is back with a bang, and this time, it’s not just about keeping you snug.
They’ve launched a brand-new Pet Carrying Hoodie for just $24.99, and it’s already causing a stir among pet lovers across Australia.
The Pet Carrying Hoodie is a clever twist on the classic oversized hoodie. It features a plush fleece drawstring pouch at the front.
It’s designed to fit your small pet comfortably—think cats, chihuahuas, or even a particularly adventurous guinea pig—so you can keep your best mate close while you go about your day.
Whether lounging on the couch, pottering around the house, or even popping out for a quick walk, your pint-sized pal can ride shotgun, safe and warm against your chest.
Not only does this mean extra cuddles for you, but it’s also a great way to keep anxious pets calm during storms or fireworks. Plus, with your hands free, you can still enjoy your cuppa or get on with your knitting!

Why we think you’ll love this hoodie
- Perfect for seniors: This hoodie is a game-changer if you find it tricky to bend down and pick up your pet or love having them close.
- Great for apartment living: No backyard? No worries! Your pet can still get plenty of snuggle time.
- Ideal for chilly mornings: Whether reading the paper or heading out to the garden, you and your furry friend can stay toasty together.
- Makes a thoughtful gift: Do you know a pet lover in your life? This could be the perfect present for a birthday or just because.
While the hoodie is designed for small pets, it’s essential to ensure it is comfortable and secure.
Always supervise your pet while in the pouch, and don’t use it for long periods if your pet seems restless or overheated.
