Kmart Is Selling An Inflatable Boat For Your Dog

As summer edges closer, many Aussies will be gearing up for a few months of unbridled joy at the prospect of sweltering in the hot sun.

Naturally, loads will hit the beach to cool off and if you don't have access to a beach then a pool will be the next best option. But as you sun yourself and play Marco Polo, there might be another member of your family that misses out.

Don't worry though, pet owners - Kmart is ensuring that no dog or cat gets left behind this summer by offering an inflatable pool toy that is designed specifically for them.

Sure, you could also try and fit in it if you really wanted to but it only has a maximum weight limit of 20 kilograms - so that fun time would be short lived.

It has a scratch resistant deck, which should hopefully be able to withstand the worst of what your pet might have planned (and obviously, if your dog or cat really doesn't like the water then don't make them sit in this just to get a cute Instagram picture).

Kmart is selling the inflatable boat for just $19, so even if your pooch ruins one, you can always get another without breaking the bank.

In addition to that, if you really want to up the ante on this whole 'pet in the pool' business, Kmart is selling dog rashies to protect them from the sun. Do dogs need protection from the sun? Should we apply suncream on them as well?

Apparently yes. So a rashie actually might do them some good.
