Eager pet owners are going mad for a new dog-friendly bubble mixture that apparently tastes and smells just like bacon.
Bacon is a food beloved by Brits, but it’s our four-legged friends that arguably love the taste of it even more than we do.
That’s why Yorkshire-based pet product manufacturers, Pets Pad, has decided to bottle up the classic bacon taste and turn it into something non-toxic for dogs to enjoy so that they don’t feel left out the next time we reach for the frying pan.
Coming in two different bottle sizes, Pets Pad Bacon Scented & Flavour Dog Bubbles has recently been rebranded from the popular K9 Bacon Bubbles, and now boasts a new and improved mixture that adds extra bubbles and bacon flavour for dogs to enjoy.
You can use the mixture – which is safe for both pets and children – to either refill your bubble guns / machines for hours of fun, or simply use the free hand wand that comes with every purchase.

According to the description on the Pets Pad website, dogs “just can’t get enough of bubbles”.
They will happily spend ages popping them, chasing them, pouncing on them and most-importantly, chomping at them – but this time round, instead of tasting like soap, they can be treated to the flavour of bacon.

A now-viral post sharing the bacon bubbles to over one million fans on the ever-popular Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK page on Facebook has gone down a treat, amassing over 2.9K comments and hundreds of shares in less than 24 hours, with many keen to get their hands on a bottle.
Many also shared their reviews of the product in the comments, with one dog owner admitting: “Can confirm, my dog adores these”, and another adding: “I’ve been using this for months on my dog Marley, he’s obsessed with them [and] it gives him so much exercise chasing the bubbles up and down the garden”.
A third recommended that the mixture is “better in a bubble machine” so that you can see how many your dog can catch.

You can get your hands on the Bacon Scented & Flavour Dog Bubbles from the Pets Pad website here, which will set you back just £2.25 plus postage and packaging, or you can buy in bulk from eBay instead.
Other shoppers in the comments also hinted that they may be available at selected branches of The Range and Bargain Buys, so keep your eyes peeled.

Manchester band Westside Cowboy release ‘thrilling’ debut album that critics are calling one of the year’s best
Emily Sergeant
One of the UK’s best rising bands have released their debut album today to glowing reviews from critics and fans alike.
Jimmy Bradbury, Reuben Haycocks, Aoife Anson O’Connell, and Paddy Murphy – better known together as Westside Cowboy – formed back in 2023 when they were students at the Royal Northern College of Music, so while they may not all be from Manchester, they definitely have the spirit of our city at the heart of everything they do.
After playing in different bands across the city throughout their student years, the four-piece joined forces to create Westside Cowboy – an indie rock collective credited with self-coining the genre of ‘Britainicana’.
Put simply, Britainicana is a cultural concept that mixes the hazy, mythic feel of American country and folk, with the sound of raw British punk, indie rock, and small-town life.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, then you’ll be pleased to know that Westside Cowboy have released their debut album, It Goes On, to the world today (21 August).
And the reception from critics, arguably, couldn’t be better.
Prior to the release of their debut album, the band had released two EPs, including So Much Country ‘Till We Get There in January earlier this year, and had started to make a name for themselves with their popular debut single ‘I’ve Never Met Anyone I Thought I Could Really Love (Until I Met You)’ in 2024.
They went onto make even further waves when they supported equally-rising American rock band Geese on their UK and Irish tour back in March – with many fans calling it one of the best support and main act combinations in some time.
Three singles from their debut album were shared with the world ahead of its release – ‘Kick Stones (The Boys)’ came first, followed by ‘Pin Up Boys’ and ‘Dobro’.
So, it’s fair to say the anticipation for album was high… and if the reviews are anything to go by (which we think they are), it looks like the band has very much delivered what they set out to achieve.
Westside Cowboy’s debut album It Goes On is now available to stream, or you can purchase a physical copy in a range of formats from their website here.

BBC Introducing LIVE is back with events across the North for grassroots music artists
Emily Sergeant
BBC Introducing’s flagship live event will return with a huge lineup of activities for aspiring musicians and music creators this autumn.
To celebrate and champion undiscovered talent across the country, BBC Introducing LIVE will include an array of live performances, immersive workshops, educational panels, and networking opportunities for grassroots artists, DJs, and music creators, all at the start of their careers.
Introducing LIVE will head across the UK, including hosting four special gigs in Leeds and a songwriting camp in Manchester.
The BBC Introducing Songwriting Camp is an invite-only event offering an ‘unparalleled’ experience for artists and creatives to develop skills and collaborate with industry professionals in a real music studio.
Then, on Saturday 28 November, BBC Introducing will host four showcases across Leeds, celebrating some of the best new music from across the UK – with independent music venues The Wardrobe, Belgrave Music Hall, and Oporto all taking part.
While up in Sunderland, following the success of BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend there earlier this year, a special takeover event will take place at The Fire Station – with a day of panels, workshops, open mics, and an industry feedback centre planned, all designed to support and inspire the next generation of musicians and music industry professionals.
Other northern cities hosting events during this year’s programme are Gateshead, and major music city Liverpool.
Many successful artists, including the North’s very-own Sam Fender, as well as big names like Ed Sheeran, Raye, Olivia Dean, and Loyle Carner, all began their careers with support from BBC Introducing.
“Championing and nurturing artists and creatives is at heart of everything BBC Introducing does, and so I’m excited that Introducing LIVE will be returning in November for our biggest year yet,” commented Kelly Betts, who is the Editor of BBC Introducing.
“BBC Introducing will be at events, panels, and gigs across the UK giving emerging talent the opportunity to learn from industry experts, make music and connect with fellow artists.
“Music has the power to unite, inspire, and shape our culture and BBC Introducing’s flagship event will help some of the UK’s rising stars on their journey to achieve this.”
