Stock Up and Save: Amazon Pet Days Returns May 11–15 with Thousands of Pet Deals
If you have pets at home, mark your calendar—Amazon Pet Days is back for its fifth consecutive year, and this time it’s running a full five days. From May 11 through May 15, Amazon is rolling out thousands of discounts across virtually every pet care category imaginable, timed perfectly to coincide with National Pet Month.
🔎 New for 2026: The event has more than doubled in length, growing from two days to five—giving shoppers far more opportunity to browse, compare, and save on the brands they trust most.
What Exactly is Amazon Pet Days?
Think of it as a holiday shopping event, but exclusively for pet owners. Each year Amazon dedicates several days to deep discounts on pet supplies, and the event has expanded significantly since it launched. In 2026, shoppers across the U.S. can browse deals on everything from premium kibble and raw food to GPS collars, grooming tables, aquarium setups, and beyond. It’s one of the best times of year to get ahead on pet essentials without breaking the bank.
Dates and Times for 2026
The sale opens at midnight PT on Monday, May 11 and closes at 11:59 p.m. PT on Friday, May 15. All five days are packed with rotating Lightning Deals, limited-time coupons, and brand-specific promotions—so it pays to check back throughout the week rather than shopping just once.
Which Brands Are Offering Deals?
The brand lineup this year covers the full spectrum of pet ownership. Whether you feed your dog a raw diet or your fish need specialty pond care, there’s something for you:
Beyond dogs and cats, owners of horses, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals like rabbits and hamsters will find dedicated deals through brands like Farnam, Flockleader, Tetrapond, and Kaytee.
Does Prime Membership Matter?
