Amazon isn’t hosting its next big sitewide sale until Prime Day in July (or maybe June). But in the meantime, pet owners will be able to stock up on discounted food, treats, toys, apparel, grooming supplies, and other pet essentials during its fifth annual Amazon Pet Days sale next month.
The retail giant confirmed Tuesday that the event will run from May 11 to 15 this year, which makes it the longest Amazon Pet Days sale ever. Here’s what you should know about it ahead of time.
What is Amazon Pet Days?
Amazon Pet Days is Amazon’s yearly sale on pet supplies — pretty straightforward. It always happens in May, which is National Pet Month, but it’s never been a five-day event before. It started as a 24-hour event in 2022 and ran for 48 hours from 2023 to 2025. (This is becoming a pattern for Amazon: Last year, it extended its flagship Prime Day sale from 48 hours to four days.)

What kind of deals to expect during Amazon Pet Days
Amazon Pet Days will bring deals on pet essentials for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals, including kibble from big-name brands like Blue Buffalo, Hill’s Science Diet, Iams, and Purina. It tends to be a good opportunity to save on the sort of unglamorous petkeeping stuff you probably need to buy anyway, like a new bag of dental chews or a fresh tub of kitty litter.
Amazon typically drops a selection of early Amazon Pet Days deals in late April as a way of previewing some of the sale’s top offers.
Do you have to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Pet Days?
Amazon Pet Days is often called “Prime Day for pets,” but unlike actual Prime Day, it’s not exclusive to members of Amazon’s Prime program — anyone can shop the deals. However, Prime members get the extra benefit of free same-day, one-day, or two-day delivery on millions of items (with no order minimums), which can come in clutch if you find yourself suddenly low on, say, food or poop bags.
If you haven’t had a Prime membership recently, you may be eligible for a free 30-day trial.
