Guys, Amazon is on a roll this week! In addition to offering a slew of Mother's Day deals on must-have gifts, it's bringing Amazon Pet Day back for the *third* year. If you're unfamiliar with the two-day pet sale (lasting from May 7 through May 8 this go-round), that's all the more reason to get excited. With so many tail-wagging discounts on food (for dogs *and* cats), toys and devices up for grabs, it's a lucky day to be a pet parent, and you don't have to just take my word for it—the deals speak for themselves. Non Slip Dog Bowl Mat
For instance, it's not every day that you'll find PetSafe's most popular self-cleaning cat litter box on sale for less than $200. (By the way, the product automatically cleans and rakes your cat's litter every time they go potty.) The discount on the Lesure small dog car seat also doesn't go unnoticed. It's 20 percent off at the moment, and a little birdie (aka PureWow pet expert Sarah Ashley) says that dog car seats are game-changers for road trips and long drives, so I wouldn't miss it at this price. There's a bunch more where those came from, but since the Amazon Pet Day sale ends in less than 48 hours, I've rounded up ten of the best pet deals to score before then, from one pet parent to another.

1. PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Plus Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box
There's a reason why this self-cleaning model made it into this list of the best cat litter boxes. Simply put, it's just as impressive as the PureWow editor-approved Litter-Robot, which is like a personal assistant dedicated to your cat's bathroom business. This similar (and a lot more affordable) PetSafe model cleans your pet's waste after they go by raking solid waste into hidden traps to minimize any odors. The cleaning cycle kicks in after they exit the box and only requires a litter tray replacement once per month (depending on how often your kitty visits). So, it's no surprise the auto-cleaning litter machine has racked up more than 10,000 5-star reviews from cat parents who love never having to scoop the poop themselves.
2. NBJU Rechargeable Anti-Barking Training Collar
Shopping for a dog training collar? More than 19,000 buyers have given their stamp of approval to this option, which is now up for grabs for as low as $32. The innovative collar checks all the boxes—it's effective, durable and comfortable—so you won't just love it, your furry baby will, too. "We recently moved from a house into an apartment. Our dog has not been socialized much and was barking at every noise she heard in the building," one reviewer explains. "We have been using this collar during the day for three weeks now, and it has helped so much! I love the different settings, it gives you plenty of options." She's not lying; it offers beep, vibration and (gentle) shock modes in seven intensity levels, which you can adjust to help control your pup's barking without causing them stress or pain.
3. Outward Hound Squeaker Ballz Fetch Toy 8-Pack
Have all their tennis balls gone missing? I know the feeling, which is why I highly suggest you snag this pack of *eight* squeaky ball toys, so you and your furry bestie are always ready for a game of fetch. However, the quantity isn't the only big selling point here—buyers say the toys are indestructible, so if you have an avid chewer on your hands, look no further. "If there were an Oscar for canine entertainment, the Outward Hound Squeaker Ballz would take home the trophy! The solo game of catch Murphy plays with himself is a spectacle to behold. His nimble paws and sharp instincts make each toss and retrieval a perfectly orchestrated performance. The symphony of squeaks echoing through the house is music to both our ears—a testament to the durability and resilience of these fantastic dog toys." I couldn't have said it better myself.
4. PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge
Cat scratching posts come in all shapes and sizes, including this infinity style. But unlike the other options on the market, this 34-inch by 10.5-inch by 10.5-inch design is reversible, offering twice the amount of use. Not to mention, the brand says that the "superior cardboard and construction lasts longer than other scratchers" and is preferred by cats. But is it really? I'll let one impressed reviewer tell it: "We bought one of these PetFusion cat scratchers nearly six years ago. It is still going strong, although it is looking a bit tatty now. Hardly surprising with three adult cats who use it every day!" So, if you ask me, it really pays for itself because instead of buying three $50+ cat scratchers over the next couple of years, this one has the potential to stick around for a long time.
5. Lesure Small Dog Car Seat
As I mentioned, dog car seats are a must-have for the furry members of your family, so you don't want to skip this one on sale for a steal. Given how stylish and functional it is, you'll love having it at the ready whenever your pup needs to take a car ride. It accommodates small pets under 25 pounds and is designed to fit snugly in the front or back seat of your car. If your pet is a nervous passenger, this plush memory foam- and polyester fiber-filled seat will help make the ride go smoother for them in every sense. "This dog seat has finally been the answer for our nervous traveler. He loves how comfortable and fluffy it is, and I love that I can clip him in if needed. It gives him enough room to move around and a little elevation on the sides to look out when he wants. Just perfect." Need I say more? I didn't think so.
6. Purina Beggin' Strips Dog Treats (Pack of 2)
Fido may end up loving these bacon-flavored treats more than the table food he routinely begs for. I know that's hard to believe, but hear me out: They're made with *real* bacon, so your dog is bound to do a dance for them (seriously, I've seen it happen IRL), and for less than $20, you can get a pack of two 26-ounce bags, which will last a long time, according to reviewers. Worried your picky eater won't bite? A quick scroll through the review section and you won't think twice about stocking up—pup parents of every shape, size and breed rave about 'em. Just remember to only feed your pup *one* treat for every 10 pounds of body weight, and not to exceed five treats per day (lest you upset their tiny tummies).
7. Fresh Step Clumping Cat Litter Advanced (2 Pack)
Whether or not you're running out of clumping cat litter right about now, you should totally scoop up this two-pack of Fresh Step while it's marked down. The brand's formula purportedly prevents odors for ten days and is 99.9% dust-free for less mess when it's time to clean up and replenish. Per, this happy cat owner, the stuff lives up to the hype: "I tried a lot of different litters, and I'm very happy with this one for a very specific reason...[In the past, my cat's] paws would get caked with the litter and create a concrete-like cast. Then he would be tracking this litter all over my house...This litter has been the best with controlling odors and staying off his paws. I highly recommend this for all cats, including seniors who may have issues like my kitty." Time to stock up!
8. JustFoodForDogs Pantry Fresh Wet Dog Food (Pack of 6)
Thinking of switching your fur baby to human-grade dog food? Ashley tested JustFoodForDogs with her 8-year-old Labrador retriever, and what are some things she liked? Besides the fact that it's less expensive than other options, she says, "Their recipes are vet-developed and seem to cater well to specific health issues." This chicken and white rice six-pack is almost guaranteed to be a hit with even the pickiest of eaters because each meal is made of real food that can be consumed by humans, so how can your pup resist? Plus, all you have to do is regenerate it upon arrival and serve it like any other meal—no special preparation required. "All three of my picky eaters gobbled up every morsel and asked for more!" one buyer adds, so there's no question whether you should make the switch while you can save big.
This retractable leash is suitable for small dogs or cats up to 26 pounds and spans 16 feet, so they can wander and play within bounds. Better yet, the black leash tape is supposedly embedded with white reflective materials, so you'll stay visible during late-night walks. And just in case you don't love the leash's rustproof swivel hook and impact-resistant ABS material, you can get your money back within 30 days. You'll probably be won over by the 360-degree tangle-free design, though, so you should know that it comes with a one-year warranty and lifelong professional technical support to boot.
10. Furbo 360 Degree Dog Camera + Dog Nanny
When it comes to pet cameras, Ashley says this updated model is worth every penny since it offers a quiet, 360-degree camera view that rotates as your pup moves. In other words, you can keep your eye on them (without them knowing) while you're on vacation or at work, and that's not even the best part. On top of the modern and sleek design, you can fill up the device with their favorite snacks and use the Furbo app to toss it to them when you're not home. "I am so happy I got this!" one buyer raves. "I hate leaving my dog alone, but this saves me from feeling too guilty! I can talk to him, send him treats, record anything cute he might be doing and just have the peace of mind to know he’s okay." Now do you get why it's worth every penny? Into cart it goes!
