Asda is selling the ideal accessory for dog owners to grab before the summer heatwavehits.
The supermarket chain was born in Leeds and has been providing our city with genius inventions we never knew we needed but now can't stop thinking about.
The 'dog gazebo' is just one perfect example.
We've already been enjoying some cracking weather in Leeds over the past weekend, but now that forecasters at the Met Office have said for us to expect "plenty of sunny spells" this week, and temperature highs of 18°C are predicted on Tuesday and Wednesday, it's made us all realise that we need to start properly prepping for the summer.
Pets always need special consideration when the heat starts to creep in, which is why for those with a four-legged friend in their lives, supermarket chain Asda is selling an outdoor gazebo dog bed that comes complete with its own cover for less than £30.
The Grey Dog Bed Gazebo is said to be the "perfect place for your pooch".
A description for the bed - which comes flat packed for home assembly, and can be dismantled for easy storage - on the Asda website reads: "This dog bed gazebo from George Home is designed in modern grey with a mesh panel base for ventilation, and it offers a stylish way to keep your furry friend cool in the sun."
The best bit? It'll only set you back £29.

The reviews of the gazebo bed by those who have managed to get their hands on it already appear to be really positive too, with plenty of happy dog owners branding it as "amazing" and "a great price".
One person wrote on the Asda website: "Stunning bed for my dog she uses it in the garden and in the house, looks great, very sturdy, easy to put together, and a great price.”"

Another customer noted how the gazebo is ideal for indoor use during the colder months too, writing: "I read the reviews before ordering and this bed is superb, and great value for money for the size it is.
"The dog is sleeping on it inside for now until the weather improves."
The Grey Dog Bed Gazebo is available both in selected Asda stores UK-wide, and on the Asda website here.
One of Leeds' longest-running pub will be closing.
The Cross Keys in Holbeck is a lovely little boozer.
And it's got a fair bit of history too. Dating back to the early 1800s, the pub has stood on Water Lane for more than two centuries, with its story closely tied to Holbeck's industrial past.
Back when the area was one of Leeds' major manufacturing hubs, the Cross Keys was a local drinking spot for workers from the surrounding foundries and engineering works.
The pub itself fell into disrepair and was abandoned in 1980s, before being brought back to life during a major restoration in the 2000s.
But now, The Cross Keys is closing once again.

Announcing the sad news to Instagram, the pub said: "It's with a heavy heart that we share the Cross Key's will be closing its doors on the 3rd of October.
"The whole team thank you for your support during our time in business."
In classic Leeds fashion, the comments were flooded with support from fans of the pub alongside fellow local businesses.
One comment reads: "Absolutely gutted about this. I held my fiance (now husband’s) 30th at The Cross Keys and it was excellent and the team were so helpful and hospitable. So sad to hear this."
Whilst another said: "Gutted, the home of some great memories and significant pints in my life."
So, if you've had a significant pint in The Cross Keys and wish to bid it a proper farewell, you've got until Saturday 3 October to do so.
Brand-new ‘party pub’ to take over the old Revolution site on Call Lane after £600,000 investment
Clementine Hall
We hope you're ready to party Leeds, because a 'party pub' experience is coming to Call Lane.
Following a whopping £600,000 investment, Bonnie Rogues is preparing to open in the former Revolution site in Leeds city centre that will close this month.
After a major refurbishment, Leeds’ first Bonnie Rogues venue and the sixth site for the fast- growing UK brand will open in November 2026.
Designed as an all-day-to-night social destination, Bonnie Rogues combines live music, live sport, and late-night celebrations in one immersive venue.
From big nights out to spontaneous after-work drinks and even Sunday Roasts, Bonnie Rogues aims to offer something completely different from the traditional pub experience.
Expect live performances, crowd-involved entertainment and interactive moments in an atmosphere that flows seamlessly from day to night.
Russell Quelch, CEO of NEOS Hospitality, said, “Leeds has such a strong social scene and a real appetite for experience-led venues, so we think Bonnie Rogues will fit perfectly into the city.
"It’s a concept that brings together everything people love about going out - live music, sport, food, entertainment and great atmosphere, all in one place. We’re excited to bring something new to Leeds and can’t wait to welcome guests later this year.”
The Leeds opening forms part of a wider rollout of Bonnie Rogues venues across the UK, as NEOS Hospitality continues to expand its portfolio following its acquisition of multiple Revolution and Revolución de Cuba sites earlier this year.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more.
