Amazon Pet Days Is Back: Your Guide to Five Days of Pet Supply Deals in May 2026

Whether your pets join you on the trail or wait at home while you explore the outdoors, keeping them well-fed, healthy, and happy is a year-round commitment. Amazon Pet Days 2026 gives you a five-day window—May 11 through May 15—to load up on the pet supplies you rely on most, at prices that make it easier to do so. Now in its fifth year, this is the biggest edition of the event yet.

What is Amazon Pet Days?

Amazon Pet Days is an annual U.S. shopping event held each May that focuses entirely on pet supplies and care products. It’s become one of the most anticipated sales of the year for pet owners, drawing participation from major brands across nutrition, health, enrichment, and accessories. The event covers far more than just dogs and cats—if you keep fish, horses, reptiles, birds, or small animals, you’ll find deals relevant to your setup too.

The timing is deliberate: Pet Days runs during National Pet Month, a period dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership and the bond between people and their animals.

When Does the Sale Run?

The 2026 event launches at midnight Pacific Time on Monday, May 11 and wraps up at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, May 15. Unlike a one-day flash sale, the five-day format gives you room to take your time—though Lightning Deals and limited-quantity offers can disappear quickly, so it’s worth checking in each day rather than leaving all your shopping until the final hours.

Which Brands Are Participating?

The 2026 brand roster spans nutrition, enrichment, and care across all pet types:

Outdoor and active pet owners will want to keep an eye on brands like Outward Hound and Chuckit!, which make durable gear designed for dogs that spend time outside. Meanwhile, Farnam covers equine care, Kaytee handles small animals, Tetrapond focuses on fish and water gardens, and Flockleader caters to backyard poultry and birds.

Do You Need an Amazon Prime Membership?

All U.S. customers can access Pet Days deals without a Prime membership. Prime does add meaningful perks though, especially if you regularly order bulky items like large bags of food or heavy litter—categories where free fast shipping makes a real practical difference.

• Free, fast delivery on pet food, treats, and gear—no more loading heavy bags into the car after a long day outside.
• Qualifying orders are eligible for free Same-Day Delivery when you need something urgently.
• Amazon Photos comes with Prime—store unlimited photos and videos of your pets for free.
• Discounted Prime access is available for eligible students and young adults.
• A further reduced rate is offered to customers on qualifying government assistance programs.

Amazon Features That Make Pet Shopping Easier

Pet Days runs once a year, but these Amazon tools are available to use every day:

How to Shop Smart During Pet Days

• Start on day one. High-demand items—especially outdoor gear and popular food brands—tend to go fast. Shopping on May 11 gives you the best selection across all categories.
• Put Rufus to work. With thousands of deals live at once, Rufus is the quickest way to cut through the noise and find what’s actually worth buying for your specific pet.
• Layer your discounts. Activating Subscribe & Save on top of a Pet Days coupon stacks both discounts—one of the most effective ways to reduce long-term spending on recurring supplies.
• Fill out your Pet Profile in advance. A complete Pet Profile means Amazon shows you the deals most relevant to your animal rather than flooding you with generic results.
• Check back throughout the week. New Lightning Deals rotate in daily. Visiting the Pet Deals page each morning during the event is the best way to catch time-sensitive offers before they sell out.
