UPDATE: Jun. 26, 2023, 3:10 PM EDT This story has been updated with the latest early Amazon Prime Day deals on pet tech, gear, toys, and more.
Amazon now hosts a dedicated two-day sale for pets every spring — that would be Amazon Pet Day — but its flagship Prime Day sale presents another great opportunity to score deals on gear and toys for your fluffy, furry, and feathery friends. Below, we’re keeping a running list of the very best pet deals we’ve been able to find on Amazon ahead of its big savings event (which is scheduled for July 11 and 12 this year).
A quick note that this is a category in which Amazon tends to engage in a lot of price anchoring, making discounts seem better than they really are, so we’ve cross-checked all listings with manufacturers’ websites. We’ve also zeroed in on brands and products we’ve personally vetted to make sure your money’s well spent.
To sniff out early Prime Day deals on other categories like TVs, kitchen products, or vacuums, we’re tracking all of those, too.
Pet tech deals
Why we like it
Out of all the automatic litter boxes we’ve looked into, the Petkit PuraX is the best one for skittish cats: “Its ergonomic shape more closely follows the traditional enclosed litter box that fraidy cats may find more approachable, with a flat top for potential storage or cat naps,” writes Mashable senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart. Controlled via a mobile app (with multiple cleaning modes), it features a built-in deodorizing system and a large, seven-liter waste container that can fit cats up to 18 pounds. Amazon currently has it on sale for $449 (normally $799), which is $50 lower than its price last Prime Day.

Why we like it
The top-rated Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Dog Brick is an intermediate-level puzzle board with 12 compartments your dog will have to lift or slide around to access hidden treats. Lead shopping reporter Dylan Haas, who had fun watching his dog Stevie figure out how it open it, found it well-made and easy to clean. At $9.21, it’s now 54% off its usual retail price of $19.99 on Amazon.

One of our go-to gifts for pet parents, Casper’s cushy Dog Bed has contouring memory foam for pressure relief and a rim of firmer support foam for cozy, nest-like comfort. It comes with a removable, washable cover with hidden metal zippers that’s available in four colors: Gray, Blue, Sand, and Eucalyptus. All three sizes are 20% off on Amazon ahead of Prime Day (starting at $111.20), which is an exact match of Casper’s sitewide Fourth of July discount.

This insulated dog version of Carhartt’s iconic chore coat has a quilted liner and a durable duck canvas shell with a water-repellant coating — you’ll be glad to have it on hand next winter. It’s available in three different sizes, and each one is adjustable for the perfect fit. It’s $44.99 on the brand’s website, but Amazon has it listed for $39.99 (and in two extra colors).
