Today is Amazon Pet Day, the retailer’s first-ever shopping event dedicated to helping pet owners save big on their favorite products. From dog food to cat carriers to aquarium cleaners, there are thousands of deals going live during the 24-hour event.
The mega sales event isn’t just for pet owners looking for deals, either. Amazon Pet Day has plenty to offer small business owners, including dog walkers, groomers, boarders, veterinarians and pet sitters. And because the average discount is around 30% off, pet rescues and shelters are leveraging the sales event to stock up on expensive items, such as pet food or preventive treatments.
Amazon Pet Day is a 24-hour shopping event with thousands of deals on pet products. According to Amazon, the pet categories expected to see the most deals include treats and food, pet care, home, electronics, toys and small business.
Although most Amazon Pet Day discounts are between 10-30% off, many Lightning Deals are closer to 50% off. Certain pet products are eligible for coupons, while others are currently offering higher-than-usual discount promotions when you Subscribe and Save.
It’s no secret that it’s expensive to own pets. A recent study found that over $123 billion was spent on pets in 2021 alone — an increase of nearly 20% from 2020. And now that Amazon Pet Day is delivering deals on the priciest products, including pet food, supplements and preventive treatments, many consumers are stocking up while prices are low.
But deep discounts aren’t the only reason to add items to your cart during Amazon Pet Day.
Amazon Pet Day is open to all Amazon shoppers, including those who aren’t Prime members. With that said, the savings event is the perfect time to sign up for Amazon Prime, or at the very least, to leverage its free 30-day trial. That way, shoppers can enjoy all membership perks, particularly free two-day shipping on millions of eligible products — including most Amazon Pet Day deals.
There are a few ways you can give back while you shop on Amazon Pet Day — and it’s easier than you think.
