Whether you’re shopping for the right kind of food, toys or litter box, owning a pet can be a pricey affair. That’s why it’s always helpful to snag must-have supplies while they’re on sale. Luckily, Amazon’s Pet Day Sale is coming back for its fourth year. The 48-hour sale will take place on May 13 and 14 and will have deep discounts on pet food, treats, toys, grooming products and more.
Though the sale is a ways away, Amazon is already offering a number of early deals that you can shop right now. I combed through dozens of products and looked for brands we’ve previously covered, deals that are at least 20% off and highly rated items that have at least a 4-star average from hundreds of reviews. Shop them below — and be sure to check back during Amazon’s Pet Day Sale because we’ll be rounding up even more deals.

The best early Amazon Pet Day deals
Burt’s Bees for Dogs Natural Oatmeal Shampoo
4.4-star average rating from 18,769 reviews on Amazon
This is one of our favorite dog shampoos because of its gentle, non-irritating formula. It has colloidal oatmeal to relieve itchy skin, according to the brand. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio uses this shampoo on her havanese and bichon frise mix Bella, and says it leaves Bella’s fur extra soft. Another perk: It leaves behind a subtle honey scent.
Pet N Pet 1080 Counts Green Poop Bags
4.7-star average rating from 45,829 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Any dog owner knows the importance of having reliable poop bags on hand. These have an easy-tear design, so you can rip one off easily while out for a walk with your furry friend. You get 60 rolls that each have 18 bags. These rolls will fit into most dispensers, according to the brand.
Basepaws Breed + Health Dog DNA Test
4.6-star average rating from 1,778 reviews on Amazon
Basepaw’s dog DNA test comes with everything you need to collect a saliva sample and send it to the brand’s lab. After a few weeks, you’ll get results via email that dive into their health, physical traits and breed mix. This test is especially helpful if you have a rescue pup and don’t know much about their background.
Neareal Cat Water Fountain
4.5-star average rating from 5,683 reviews on Amazon
Cats prefer running water to still water because their instincts tell them it could have bacteria that’ll make them sick, experts told us in our guide to preparing for a new kitten. This stainless steel drinking fountain has a quadruple filtration system and holds up to 108 ounces of water, which can last for up to a week, according to the brand. It also has dual water flow modes that lets you choose between a more fountain-like flow or one that’s a bit calmer.
Mixjoy Orthopedic Dog Bed
4.4-star average rating from 17,504 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
I have a very picky French bulldog who requires the softest, most cuddly place to sleep. I bought three other beds that she rejected before finding this one, which she loves. The round shape allows her to curl up and it has a raised edge that she likes to rest her chin on. The bottom of the bed has rubber grips so it doesn’t slip and slide on my hardwood floors.
Aumuca Cat Brush
4.4-star average rating from 30,602 reviews on Amazon
Keep your cat’s shedding to a minimum with this brush, which has metal pins with rubber tips to penetrate thick fur. After you’re done brushing, click a button on the handle and the pins retract, leaving behind the hair for easy disposal. The brush also has a loop on the handle so you can hang it up when you’re done.
Designster Pet Food Mat
4.6-star average rating from 2,186 reviews on Amazon
Pets aren’t always the cleanest eaters — they can spill water as they drink it and push around their bowl looking for every last morsel of food. Placing a mat underneath their food bowls can prevent them from slipping around and also protect your floors from spills. This mat is made from non-toxic silicone and has raised edges to help contain the mess. Plus, you can roll it up for easy storage. One thing to note: Though the mat comes in 13 shades, only the grass green color is currently 50% off.
