This year's Prime Day starts at 12 AM PDT on Monday, June 21, and runs through 11:59 PM PDT on Tuesday, June 22, 2021. The exact date of Amazon Prime Day varies from year to year—which is all part of the excitement.

Since its debut in 2015, Prime Day has always taken place in July—with the exception of 2020, when Prime Day was pushed to October for pandemic-related reasons.

Prime Day is Amazon’s annual mega-sale event (think along the lines of Cyber Monday). What started as a 24-hour sale (hence Prime “Day”) has since morphed into a 48-hour extravaganza. It’s clear why shoppers get so excited: Amazon slashes prices across its shopping categories—including pet supplies!

Amazon Prime Day deals are exclusively for Amazon Prime members. Not a Prime member? No problem; Amazon offers a 30-day free trial of Prime membership that’ll grant you access to Prime Day sales if you time it right. You can cancel anytime, but after 30 days, membership costs $13/month.

In addition to Prime Day sales, Prime membership unlocks free two-day shipping on eligible products, including thousands of pet items. Feeling like your feline could use a new cat bed? Buy one that’s Prime-eligible (lots are) and it’ll arrive at your doorstep two days later. The same applies to dog food, rabbit crates, gerbil wheels, and quite literally any other pet essentials you’d typically buy at a pet store.

Another fun feature for pet lovers: Amazon allows you to create profiles for your pet(s), complete with space to upload a picture(s), details about your pets’ preferences, as well as personalized shopping recommendations based on past purchases, so it's easy to keep track for the future.

We’re keeping our ears perked for other mega-sales that may pop up alongside Amazon Prime Day in June. For instance, Target, Nordstrom, and Walmart all hosted their own big sale right in step with Amazon’s last year. Keep checking back for updates.
