Lidl unveils a new pet range – and reveals just how much we spend on our furry friends!

To coincide with the launch of its new pet range, Lidl commissioned a study to find out just how much we indulge our pets

It’s a well-known fact that Brits adore their pets! A study commissioned by Lidl, has revealed that a quarter of Brits spend a whopping £480 on gifts for their pets each year, but only 15 per cent will stretch to spending this much on their partner. However, that figure should drop thanks to this latest Lidl pet range.

'We have put ourselves in the shoes of pet owners when choosing this range, ensuring each item will please pets and purses.' explains Josie Stone, Head of Non Food. 'Pets are an important part of the family and deserve to be treated as such. At Lidl, this doesn’t come at too high a cost.'
