The B&M £6 item pet owners 'need' to buy

The third lockdown for England has brought a return of comfy clothes to many and now B&M has decided to cater for our furry friends.

In a recent social media post, the discount store appealed to our inner sloth and pulled in the comments from happy shoppers, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Posting on the B&M Instagram page, the retailer pleased animal lovers with a picture of a dog in a furry sloth costume.

The post said: “An accurate representation of our #MondayMood! How cute does @girlgainzblog's pup look in his sloth costume?! (SC: 362399, £6). WHO else needed to see this today.”

B&M stores have remained open to shoppers during lockdown for essential items.

In no time at all, the picture pulled in more than 2,000 reactions on Facebook and 1,800 comments.

Shoppers tagged their like-minded pals, with one saying: “We need these”

Another delighted fan said: “Chase would look ace in this”.

A third animal lover added: “Dolly need this costume”

But others took a different approach.

One person said: “It is cruel, why get a dog, then dress it up like a baby - it’s a dog, for god’s sake.”

Another said: “Poor little dog if you want a sloth go get one just don’t put this on a dog looks stupid.”

And a third said: “Dogs don’t need clothes it’s stupid. They aren’t toys.”
