Amazon is set to host its fifth annual Pet Days sale, an event often dubbed “Prime Day for pets.” This year’s sale is scheduled to run from May 11 to May 15, 2026, marking the longest duration for the event to date. Pet owners can anticipate significant discounts on a wide range of pet essentials, including food, treats, toys, grooming supplies, and apparel.
What is Amazon Pet Days?
Amazon Pet Days is an annual sales event dedicated to pet products. Traditionally held in May, coinciding with National Pet Month, this year’s sale has been extended to five days. Previously, the event started as a 24-hour sale in 2022 and expanded to 48 hours from 2023 to 2025. This extension follows a trend seen with Amazon’s flagship Prime Day sale, which was increased from 48 hours to four days last year.
Deals and Product Selection
The sale will feature deals on supplies for various pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals. Shoppers can expect to find discounts on popular brands of pet food, such as Blue Buffalo, Hill’s Science Diet, Iams, and Purina. The event is a prime opportunity to purchase necessary but less glamorous items like dental chews and kitty litter at reduced prices. Amazon often releases a selection of early deals in late April to give customers a preview of the upcoming offers.
Prime Membership Not Required, But Beneficial
Unlike the main Prime Day sale, Amazon Pet Days is accessible to all shoppers, regardless of whether they are members of Amazon’s Prime program. However, Prime members can still benefit from the sale through enhanced delivery options. These include free same-day, one-day, or two-day delivery on millions of eligible items, with no minimum order requirement. This can be particularly useful for restocking essential items like pet food or waste bags quickly. For those who are not current Prime members, a free 30-day trial may be available.
