Amazon Pet Day is May 2 and 3. Keep reading to see the best pet must-haves you can save on during this sale. 

When it comes to buying pet supplies, you have options. You likely have both independent and big-box pet supply shops in your town, and you can lean on Chewy’s delivery service. Your grocery store may even have an aisle of pet food and other supplies.

But for convenience and selection, you might turn to Amazon, especially if you have a Prime membership. I share my home with three cats, and I frequently buy food, toys, and other items for them from Amazon. If you also often turn to Amazon for pet supplies, you might consider setting up a pet profile for your four-legged friend.

This is a great week to be a pet owner, because today and tomorrow (May 2 and 3) are when Amazon is holding its Pet Day sale! This 48-hour sale runs from 12 a.m. PDT on May 2 to 11:59 p.m. PDT on May 3, and you don’t even have to be a Prime member to save on gear for your pets. Non-Prime members can get fast free shipping on orders of $25 or more (on items sold by Amazon). Here are some of the best deals we found on offer for Amazon Pet Day.

1. A rechargeable laser toy for 58% off

In my experience, some cats are absolutely wild about chasing (and failing to capture) the dreaded red dot! If you have a tiny hunter in your midst, check out the Valonii Rechargeable Motion Activated Cat Laser Toy. It has a built-in motion sensor that triggers the laser light to appear when your cat is nearby. It also has two operating speeds and the battery is rechargeable. It’s on sale for $16.99, a savings of 58%.

2. A set of foldable pet steps for 29% off

If your dog or cat is getting up in years and has trouble hopping on the bed or couch to hang out with you, a set of pet steps might be just the ticket — and if they fold for easy storage, that’s all the better. For Pet Day, Amazon has the Best Pet Supplies Foldable Foam Pet Steps in gray linen for just $63.83, which saves you 29% off the list price.

3. A pet water fountain for 49% off

Handwashing in my bathroom is sometimes a tricky proposition, because my oldest cat is often there trying to drink from the sink. The solution? Check out the Wonder Creature Cat Water Fountain, currently on sale for almost half off its list price ($17.99, down from $34.99). In addition to keeping your credit card tab low, this fountain will keep your pet drinking, meaning less risk of kidney and urinary tract problems.

4. An automatic feeder for 42% off

If you work away from home, or hate getting up early in the morning, it might be hard to keep up with a regular feeding schedule for your dog or cat. Might I recommend an automatic feeder? Right now, Amazon has the VOLUAS Automatic Pet Feeder (in the four liter size) for $46.74, which is 42% off from its $79.99 list price. You can schedule this feeder to dispense up to four meals a day!

5. An aquarium gravel cleaner for 23% off

If you have fish and other aquatic pets, it’s likely that your tank is your pride and joy — and you want to keep it clean for your little finned friends. Right now, you can score the AKKEE Electric Aquarium Gravel Cleaner for $53.99, a savings of 23%. This tool can help you do a water change, clean the substrate at the bottom of your tank, and even clean the algae from your tank walls.

6. Pet nail clippers for 15% off

It’s easy to tell when my cats need their nails trimmed, as they start getting stuck on the upholstery around my home. Whether you’ve got dogs or cats (or any other furry creature with claws!), it’s a good idea to keep on top of those nail trims. Check out gonicc Dog & Cat Pets Nail Clippers and Trimmers, which are going for $12.70 right now. These have a safety blade that can help prevent accidentally cutting your pet’s nails too short, and they can be locked for safety when not in use.

7. A cozy pet bed for 25% off

Even if your dog or cat sleeps on your bed at night, it’s still nice to give them a bed of their very own to relax in as they please. You can pick up a medium-sized Bedsure Calming Dog Bed in camel for just $37.39 this week, down from the list price of $49.99. These beds are soft and fluffy, and can even be machine washed, which means you won’t be draining your checking account to buy a new one the first time it inevitably gets dirty.

Amazon can be a great place to score pet supplies, and especially during the Amazon Pet Day sales event. Hop on over for a look at the above deals and more, before it all ends!
