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.

Snoop Dogg says he wants to replace Gregg Wallace on MasterChef – and so do we
Danny Jones
With Gregg Wallace having been axed from MasterChef, one man has put himself forward to replace the long-standing presenter: Snoop Dogg.
Make that Snoop ‘Doggy’ Dogg, esquire and all-round foodie fancy pants, to you.
No, as we often feel we have to clarify sometimes, we’re not joking – the rapper and hip-hop legend apparently is very keen on the idea of becoming the next co-host of UK MasterChef.
It also goes without saying that we will never EVER get bored of writing headlines like these.

Speaking to The Mirror, the 53-year-old music icon said, “You’ll best believe You better believe Snoop could be the new MasterChef judge.”
According to Snoop, his time working on Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party with well-known American cook, food writer and TV personality Martha Stewart means he already has prior experience and he also believes he has the backing of another big culinary name.
“My boy Gordon [Ramsay] judges on the US version of the show, and I know he would back me to be able to judge on the UK version”, he told the outlet, going on to add: “He knows I am not playing when it comes to food. He knows I can cook – I have even given him some tips.
“I hosted a cooking show over here and I have always been vocal about wanting to work on a UK show. I love the place – and for real, this could be the perfect opportunity.”
His bid to join the BBC show might be less likely than many others, but we’ve already seen how well getting familiar entertainment faces on works for the Celebrity version of the show, not to mention juicing up the comedy with less serious analysis as seen on Channel 4’s rebrand of The Great British Bake Off.
You can see a selection of Snoop’s on-screen cooking highlights here.
As for the latest on Wallace, he is still officially denying being involved in any inappropriate behaviour of a sexual nature on the show and various other TV projects, with a total of 13 people filing official historical complaints against the long-standing host over the course of a 17-year period.
The 60-year-old is now accused not only of sexual comments in the workplace but groping and touching multiple former contestants and colleagues.
Despite sticking to his official position he has, however, come out to apologise for a response video he made following the second raft of allegations, in which his comments were deemed offensive and misogynistic by a Downing Street official.
We’re confident we already know the answer, so we’ll ask you this instead: just how much do you want to see Snoop Dogg presenting the next series of MasterChef?
Keely Hodgkinson, Sarah Storey, Luke Littler and more shortlisted for BBC Sports Personality of the Year
Danny Jones
The North West and Greater Manchester specifically have notched multiple nods ahead of the year’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards.
2023’s recipient Mary Earps had local ties as Manchester United Women’s no.1 and this year even more Manc names or those associated with the city have been named on the shortlist of nominees.
Following standout performances at Paris 2024, native Olympic and Paralympic athletes Keely Hodgkinson and Dame Sarah Storey have both earned a place among this year’s frontrunners, as well as Warrington-born dart sensation Luke Littler, whose breakthrough year sparked a phenomenon.
That’s three of the top six from our region alone. Get in.
Here are the nominees for BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2024!
⭐ Jude Bellingham ⭐ Keely Hodgkinson ⭐ Luke Littler ⭐ Joe Root ⭐ Sarah Storey ⭐ Alex Yee
Atherton-born Hodgkinson, still only 22, earned her first-ever Olympic gold back in the summer and her first thought wasn’t to celebrate and put her feet but go and smash the world record next time. Big murals were erected in her honour both in Manchester city centre and back over Wigan way.
Dame Sarah Storey’s career is one that has long deserved much more recognition, notching medal after medal first in swimming and now in cycling, with no sign of slowing down even at 47. An inspiration to any aspiring athlete, let alone one with an impairment, and was rightly given special recognition by MMU earlier this year.
And Luke Littler’s story needs very little explanation: the 16-year-old with ability way beyond his year that he helped draw an entirely new crowd to the world of darts, winning multiple titles in his first year as a so-called ‘senior’ player on the pro tour. If we’re talking strictly personality, he’s got plenty of that too.
Others shortlisted included England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, England’s record run-scorer Test cricketer Joe Root, as well Olympic triathlete Alex Yee. We also think this man should be on the list again but his time will come, we’re certain of it.

The 2024 BBC Sports Personality of the Year takes place on Tuesday, 17 December, with voting taking place during the show which will be broadcast on BBC One and online via BBC iPlayer.
The programme – once again presented by Gabby Logan, Alex Scott and Clare Balding from over in MediaCityUK, Salford Quays – will begin at 7pm and conclude around 9pm after the winner is announced.
Who do you think should win BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2024?
