Amazon Pet Day 2023: The best deals for pets

UPDATE: May. 2, 2023, 12:00 p.m. EDT Amazon Pet Day runs from May 2 at 12 a.m. PT to May 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Here are a few of our favorite deals:

Any time of the year is a good time to spoil your pet, but now that we’ve flipped our calendars to May, National Pet Month gives you an even better excuse.

Not only does that mean you can treat your bestie to something nice, it also means that tons of everyday essentials like food, litter, and toys (yes, we said essentials) will be marked down from many pet brands. Pet parents, get ready.

Starting the month strong is everyone’s favorite mega-retailer with the Amazon Pet Day(opens in a new tab) sale, a 48-hour sale event that’ll feature nearly pet deal you can think of.

When is Amazon Pet Day?

Amazon Pet Day will actually last two days, from May 2 at 12 a.m. PT to May 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT. This ups the ante from Amazon’s first-ever Pet Day sale last year, which lasted 24 hours.

During the event, the site is marking down pretty much any pet product you can think of, from Tidy Cats litter(opens in a new tab) and Casper dog beds(opens in a new tab) to Bissell carpet cleaners(opens in a new tab) and Dyson vacuums(opens in a new tab) (the laser attachment is your best defense against spring shedding). Even pet movies and shows will be 50% off.

What to expect from Amazon Pet Day

Unlike Amazon’s Prime Day sale, Pet Day deals are available to any Amazon customer. You can even score free shipping on any order over $25, Prime membership or not. The only deals non-members don’t have access to are Prime Video movie deals.

For background ASMR while you shop, be sure to catch Dolly Parton(opens in a new tab) on Amazon Live(opens in a new tab) on May 2 at noon ET and on May 3 at 10 a.m. and noon ET, where she’ll be joined by her dog Billy the Kid to discuss her iconic Doggy Parton line(opens in a new tab), which includes toys, collars and leashes, and, of course, pretty-in-pink apparel.
