As a proud dog mom of two unruly beagles, I know how expensive our little monsters can be. Between the beds they ruin, the toys they destroy in seconds, and the absurd cost of basic flea and tick prevention, keeping them happy and healthy in this economy (in this economy?!) can drain your wallet. So whenever there's a big sale on pet supplies, I'm the first one in line to stock up.

Amazon Pet Days officially kicked off today, May 11, and runs through May 15. It's basically Prime Day for pets, but with one major difference: you don't need a Prime membership to get the best deals. (Though if you do have Prime, you'll get free same-day, one-day, or two-day shipping.) First-time "Subscribe & Save" customers can also get 35% off select health care products from brands like Simparica, NexGard, and HeartGard.

There are thousands of deals across grooming, toys, and tech right now. But since buying toys for super-chewers is basically just throwing money away, I usually skip that section entirely. Instead, this sale is the best time to grab the expensive gear your fur babies need — like grooming tools, replacement beds, and pet cameras.

Here are some of the most practical discounts worth grabbing before the sale ends:

Best pet camera deal

Why we like it

I hate leaving my pups for too long, but sometimes it's inevitable. The only thing that's helped me ease my anxiety during long errand runs is a pet camera. Most of these gadgets are expensive and can run in the $200s, but right now you can get an Amazon top-rated pick for just $33.24 (normally $46.99).

The Petcube Cam 360 has 500+ reviews and a 4.3 average star rating. For a budget camera, it does a lot: it offers full 360-degree rotation, 1080p HD video, and night vision up to 30 feet in the dark. It also has two-way audio, so you can listen to them bark and talk back to let them know you'll be home soon. Plus, if you decide to use their subscription service, it sends AI alerts right to your phone so you know exactly what's going on in real time.

Best GPS tracker deal

Why we like it

I've always used an Apple AirTag to track my pups, but I'm tempted to get a real GPS tracker. I keep seeing ads on Instagram (mostly for Fi), and the promos are working.

The Tractive Smart Dog GPS Tracker, for example, is basically a Fitbit for your dog. It offers real-time GPS tracking with unlimited range (you'll also get updates every two to three seconds) and vital-sign monitoring, including heart and respiratory rates. It's also waterproof, has a 14-day battery life, and can create custom virtual fences.

Best pet bed deal

Why we like it

I travel a lot, and lugging a pet bed around for each pup everywhere I go has become somewhat of a hassle. I just keep beds everywhere: two inside my apartment, one on the balcony, two in my truck, and a stash at my parents' house. Out of all the beds we've tried, though, Gravy is obsessed with the Bedsure SupportMax™ XL Orthopedic Dog Bed. Even better, you can grab it right now for 19% off.

It comes in multiple sizes and six color options (we went with the dark green to match my aesthetic). We got one large enough for both Saint and Gravy to comfortably share, but if you don't need a giant bed taking up your living room, they go as small as 35 inches.
