Heart to Tail Collapsible Pet Pool, $12.99 at Aldi
Back in stock after a bit of a hiatus, Aldi's Heart to Tail Collapsible Pet Pool last made its rounds in 2020, winning over fans for its easy setup and portable design. Now, it's returning in an updated form with vibrant summer colors like Watermelon, Blue and Teal. And with a price tag as low as $12.99, snagging one if you have the space feels like an absolute no-brainer.
So what do you get with your $13 purchase? For starters, a compact above-ground pool measuring roughly 31.5 inches in diameter and 7.9 inches deep. Best of all, there's no inflation required, and it folds down easily so you can pack it away for storage or travel purposes. Even better, it's simple to fill and drain, complete with a twist-off cap that empties the pool in seconds.

As a quick care tip, it's a good idea to trim your pet's nails before they hop in, to help keep the pool in great shape over time. The lightweight, foldable design makes it easy to move and store, but a little extra care goes a long way in keeping the vinyl sidewalls and base durable for the long run.
That said, because of its smaller size, some pets may enjoy it more than others, but that doesn't mean most breeds can't still have a good time. Whether it's used as a quick cold plunge for larger dogs or a wading pool for smaller ones, its compact size makes it easy to use in just about any outdoor setting.
With summer heating up, you and your furry friend will be glad to have something this convenient on hand. And if you have a small child, it can also double as a little wading pool. Just be sure to snag one fast when it arrives on Wednesday, May 27. And while you're at it, check out how 277 dogs just made history at the world's largest pool party in Miami.
