Argos..Dog/Child Gates warning

Should you wish to buy a "dog gate" from the argos catalogue, please go to the baby safety gate page instead. Argos are selling baby gates, rebranded as "pet guard" for ar least £5 more than the identical "baby gate".

Mum made this mistake last week, I retuned it and exchanged for an identical "baby gate" and saved £6!

    I would have thought it'd be the other way round, price wise - not many dog owners are going to have a problem buying something billed as a baby gate, but how many parents want a 'pet guard' for their children

    Only trouble is some dogs are smaller than the space between the bars of a child gate!

    My thoughts exactly, thats why I didnt check when Mum ordered it originally!!

    The "puppy" gate and "baby" gate are spaced exactly the same. Same box as well. Instructions refer to the baby gate on the puppy gate and the only difference is that Lindam have replaced the word "Baby" with "puppy" on the box.
    madness!
