Keep reading to learn more about Amazon Pet Day 2023 and explore the best pet deals.

What is Amazon Pet Day 2023?

Amazon Pet Day 2023 is a 48-hour sale where you can save on pet food, toys, treats, clothing, beds and even pet tech. Like other major Amazon sales, you can expect to see daily deals and flash deals along with ongoing sales.

Amazon tends to keep deals under wraps ahead of major sale events such as Amazon Prime Day 2023. But the e-commerce retailer has teased several of its Amazon Pet Day 2023 deals already. 

Expect to see slashed prices on major dog food, treat, and supplement brands such as Milk Bone, Zesty Paws and Purina for 20 to 30% off. Tons of pet tech including grooming tools, cameras and vacuums for pet hair will also see major discounts.

When is Amazon Pet Day 2023?

Mark your calendars! 

The Amazon Pet Day 2023 sale will run from May 2 to May 3 this year. 

The sale starts at midnight PT on Tuesday, May 2 and will end at 11:59 p.m. PT on Wednesday, May 3. But don't expect all of the deals to last until the end of the sale -- we anticipate that a number of the top pet deals will sell out quickly. Plus, you'll want to keep an eye out for any of Amazon's short-term lightning deals during the major sales event.

"I purchased in hopes that it at least would help between regular vacuuming. I vacuumed first with my Dyson then set it free. When it was done with the job, I didn't expect much in the dust trap... I was wrong! It was full! Super impressed."
