For homeowners with pets, May is one of the best months of the year to restock on supplies. Amazon Pet Days 2026 runs from May 11 through May 15, delivering five straight days of discounts on everything from premium pet food and health products to toys, grooming tools, and home accessories. Now in its fifth year, the event is the largest it has ever been—and covers pets of all kinds, not just the usual dogs and cats.

What is Amazon Pet Days?

Amazon Pet Days is an annual sale event held every May that focuses entirely on pets and the products that keep them healthy, comfortable, and entertained. It’s grown significantly since its launch, and the 2026 edition marks both the fifth year of the event and its biggest expansion to date—stretching from two days to five. Every deal on offer is pet-related, covering nutrition, health care, grooming, enrichment, and home accessories for animals of all types.

The event is timed to coincide with National Pet Month, a celebration of the relationship between people and their animals that takes place each May across the United States.

When Does Amazon Pet Days Run in 2026?

The sale opens at midnight Pacific Time on Monday, May 11 and runs continuously until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, May 15. The five-day format gives shoppers far more flexibility than in previous years. That said, rotating Lightning Deals and limited-stock offers can sell out well before the event ends—so checking in on multiple days rather than leaving everything to the last minute is the smarter approach.

Brands Featured in the 2026 Event

This year’s lineup includes well-known names across every pet category. Whether you’re shopping for a dog, cat, rabbit, fish tank, backyard flock, or horse stable, there’s a relevant brand taking part:

Specialty pet owners are well covered: Farnam handles equine care, Kaytee focuses on small animals like rabbits and hamsters, Tetrapond covers fish and water garden supplies, and Flockleader caters to backyard chickens and birds. If you have a multi-pet household, this event is genuinely useful across the board.

Is Amazon Prime Required?

Any U.S. Amazon customer can shop the Pet Days sale—a Prime membership is not required to access the deals. However, Prime members get more out of the event in practical terms, particularly when it comes to delivery speed and cost on larger or heavier orders.

• Free, fast shipping on pet food, litter, and bulky supplies—delivered directly to your home without the hassle of carrying heavy bags yourself.
• Eligible orders qualify for free Same-Day Delivery—a genuine convenience when you’ve run out of something unexpectedly.
• Prime membership includes free unlimited photo and video storage through Amazon Photos—perfect for keeping all your pet memories in one place.
• Reduced-rate memberships are available for eligible students and young adults.
• A further discounted membership is offered to customers receiving qualifying government assistance.

Amazon Tools That Make Pet Shopping Smarter

These features are available year-round and make a real difference in how you shop for your pets—especially during a high-volume event like Pet Days:

How to Get the Most Out of Amazon Pet Days

• Think beyond food. Pet Days covers home essentials too—litter boxes, pet beds, odor control products, pet gates, and cleaning supplies all tend to see discounts. It’s worth browsing beyond just the food aisle.
• Use Rufus to compare quickly. With thousands of deals running simultaneously, Rufus saves significant time by finding the most relevant deals for your pet and filtering out what isn’t worth your attention.
• Stack Subscribe & Save with coupons. Combining a Subscribe & Save subscription with a Pet Days discount gives you two layers of savings on items you’ll order repeatedly throughout the year.
• Set up a Pet Profile before the sale starts. A fully completed Pet Profile means Amazon tailors the deals it shows you—saving time and surfacing products actually suited to your animal.
• Check the deals page each morning. New Lightning Deals go live throughout the five-day event. Visiting the Pet Deals page daily is the best way to catch time-sensitive offers before they expire or sell out.
