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.

Drinks prices revealed as Manchester Airport’s first-ever Wetherspoons pub opens inside T2
Emily Sergeant
It’s official… Manchester Airport’s first-ever JD Wetherspoon pub has officially opened its doors inside Terminal 2.
The 300-seater pub – which welcomed its first customers earlier this week – is named The Belle Vue after Manchester’s historic showground.
Throughout the pub, you’ll spot design features that nod to the city’s sporting heritage – including vintage event posters and memorabilia, a ‘locker wall’ hosting trophies and other sporting exhibits, and a cricket-themed design in the carpets and bar panels.
Creating around 150 jobs in the process, The Belle Vue is the final planned new eatery to open in the airport’s redeveloped Terminal 2, marking one of the final steps in the super-terminal’s decade-long, £1.5bn transformation.

According to the MEN, pints are priced from £6.20 for Carling and Coors lager, £6.45 for Budweiser, £6.60 for Guinness, and £6.70 for Poretti and 1664 Biere.
Prosecco is £9.20 for 175ml glass and £37.10 for the full bottle, while spirts and mixers are £6.80 for singles and £10.20 for doubles.
There’s also the classic Wetherspoons tea and coffee machines, where you can refill as many times as you like for just £3.60.
“It’s a proud moment to see the final new retail unit opening in our new-look Terminal 2,” commented Richard Jackson, who is the Retail Director at Manchester Airport.
“To be rounding off this 10-year programme by adding such an iconic name as Wetherspoon to the terminal is particularly special and we know that it will prove extremely popular with passengers. We think they’ll love the nods to Manchester’s heritage in the décor and design – and of course the name.”
The Belle Vue will be open from the first flight to the final flight each day, and food will be served from opening until 10pm.

Iconic Manc movie 24 Hour Party People is set to return to cinemas for its anniversary
Emily Sergeant
One of Manchester’s most iconic movies is set to return to the big screen next month.
Remastered in 4K and returning to UK cinemas to mark 24 years since its original release, Michael Winterbottom’s 2002 biographical comedy drama film, 24 Hour Party People, tells the story of Manchester‘s popular music community from 1976 to 1992 – specifically about Factory Records‘ founder Tony Wilson.
The film begins with the punk rock era of the late 1970s, before moving through the 1980s into the rave and DJ culture, and of course, the ‘Madchester‘ scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The narrative largely follows the career of Tony Wilson, played by Middleton-born actor Steve Coogan, while also covering the careers of the major Factory Records artists – especially Joy Division and New Order, as well as A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, and Happy Mondays.
If you haven’t seen 24 Hour Party People before, it’s a dramatisation based on a combination of real events, rumours, and urban legends, as the film is sure to make clear.
Coogan is joined by a cast by a mixture of big names and, at the time, rising stars like Paddy Considine, Shirley Henderson, Lennie James, John Simm, Ralf Little, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris, John Thomson, and even Peter Kay, alongside cameos from other figures connected to the Manchester music scene.
Before it returns to cinemas, the film will first open music and media festival/conference, Beyond The Music, at MediaCity in Salford on 6 October.
The screening at the festival will also be followed by a Q&A with Coogan, Winterbottom, and producer Andrew Eaton.
24 Hour Party People will then be re-released in UK cinemas from 9 October, and you can check your local cinema for screening times and book tickets online now.
