Amazon Prime Day Deals on Dog Supplies

Besides Black Friday and Cyber Monday, in the last three years we have seen another big retail holiday gain popularity and rise to great heights, going as far as even surpassing the former in sales in 2017. With tens of millions of Amazon Prime members making a purchase on Prime Day, the sellers of dog supplies and pet products are motivated to offer serious discounts. Among hundreds of thousands of deals you can find on Prime Day, dog supplies are some of the most popular.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

A global shopping event with many discounts, Amazon Prime Day is held annually, with 2018 being the fourth year since this event started. The first Prime Day was introduced it 2015 to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary. Last year, we've published a list of best dog supplies for our readers with biggest discounts to help you save further. Due to the huge success, Prime Day was repeated the following year and has been growing stronger every year since then.

Amazon Prime Day deals on dog supplies and pet products (as well as all other categories) are available only for Amazon Prime members. Fortunately, you don’t have to sign a year-long contract of becoming a Prime member – there's a way to get discounts of Prime Day for free. Amazon offers a FREE 30-day trial on their Prime membership, so you can try it out during the Prime Day, get all the discounts, and cancel before the end of the 30-day trial period without paying anything.

When Is Amazon Prime Day 2018?

Prime Day Deals from AmazonJudging from the previous Prime Day events in the past, which were all held on the second Tuesday of July, this year’s event will happen on Monday – July 16th. Last week the news broke that the date of the 2018 Prime Day leaked due to a technical mistake, and that was correct, because Amazon just announced officially that 3PM ET on July 16th is when all the deals for Prime members drop.

Prime Day will last for 36 hours, or day and a half, so look for deals on time. In fact, there are many pre-Prime Day deals on dog supplies and other products as well that appeared two weeks before the event took place in previous years. To stay up to date with all upcoming and current deals, you can download the free Amazon app and you will never miss any deal for pet products or anything else. To use the app, simply go to “Today’s Deals” and click on “Upcoming” tab to see all deals a day before they go live. Then, just click on “Watch this Deal” and the app will notify you when that deal starts.

How to Prepare for Amazon Prime Day

In addition to becoming the Prime member and downloading the Amazon app, you can also setup Amazon Assistant on your computer. Amazon Assistant allows you to stay up to date with all deals, track your orders, compare prices, create shortcuts and save products from any website to your personalized list.

The most important thing for shoppers is to be ready before the event actually starts. Since all the deals will be announced at least 24 hours before the Amazon Prime Day 2018 event, you can put them on your list so you don’t miss them on the actual day.

Another good way to get ready for Prime Day and maybe snag some interesting deal on dog supplies before the event is to keep an eye on Amazon Gold Box homepage for current and upcoming Lightning Deals, Deals of the Day and many other sales and deals.

Some lightning deals are available 30 minutes earlier for Prime Members. Also, if you have any of the Amazon Alexa products you can access the dog supplies deals and other products before others – two hours earlier – and snag them up. You only have to ask “Alexa, what are your deals?”. Early access can be very important because Lightning Deals are only active for a few hours or while the product is in stock.
