7 of our favorite deals from Amazon’s Pet Days sale

No disrespect to pet lizards, rodents, birds, and other fine creatures, but we’re focused mostly on cats and dogs here.

The Little Green carpet cleaner can do more than just suck up unmentionable pet-created disasters. It’s great for getting out coffee stains, too.

A big part of my job here at The Verge is to find deals on tech that readers will like. But in my personal life, I’m not spending anywhere near as much money on tech as I am on food, litter, and other supplies for our two cats. Sad, but true. If your life is also ruled by furry (or feathered, scaled, shelled) friends, perhaps your interest will be piqued by Amazon’s five-day Pet Days sale happening through 2:59AM ET on Saturday, May 16th.

There are a ton of products available that have some sort of discount attached — too many to list out individually. In case you don’t want to sort through all of the deals, I’ve attempted to do you the favor of plucking out seven noteworthy discounts for cat and dog parents.

The product I recommend to all pet owners is Bissell’s Little Green upholstery and carpet cleaner, which is

99.99 at Amazon (originally

129.99). It’s the fighter you need on your side to help you get nasty stains out of your carpeted floors and stairs, rugs, couch cushions, and more. The portable cleaner works with Bissell’s cleaning formula, and the purchase includes a sample of the product. It also comes with a cleaning brush and crevice tool for sucking yucky stuff out of corners.

While not a quiet machine to use, it’s valuable in that it’s a way to undo your pet’s accidents (it’s great for getting out coffee stains, too).

Pet owners have a special connection to their animals, and many can intuit what their pets need based on how they’re trying to get our attention. But wouldn’t it be great if your pet could put in a little more effort? I’m not saying that this 10-pack of voice-recording buttons will suddenly turn your pet into Sapphie, but at $19.76 (just a few bucks off) for the kit at Amazon, it seems fun to try. Each button can record up to 30 seconds of voice clips.

The Litter-Robot 4 self-cleaning litter box is a big ticket item for cat owners looking to delegate the stinky chore. There’s a bundle that has been discounted recently at Amazon that includes the little box plus a starter kit of accessories for

799.99 (typically

860). The whole point of getting the Litter-Robot 4 is to make your life easier, scooping less, and doing other stuff with your time that hopefully doesn’t involve hunching over. The accessories included (three Odor Trap packs, 10 liners, 30 wipes, and two carbon filters) make it so you need to interact even less often with the litter box.

Features advanced litter-sifting technology, reduced litter tracking, and real-time monitoring of waste and litter levels through the Whisker app.

There are countless Wi-Fi-enabled cameras you can get to remotely see what your cats are up to, including those that cost less than

20. For my money, I’ve been satisfied with the TP-Link Tapo 1080p indoor camera that’s

17.99 at Amazon

It may be more basic than what some pet owners want. And yet, it’s capable enough that I’ve used it as a baby monitor. It has pan and tilt functionality so you can see around the room, and its feed is viewable in the Kasa app, which is convenient if you have other TP-Link gadgets. It supports motion detection, two-way audio, night vision, and the option of cloud or micro SD card storage. There are pricier options out there made to ease concerns for pet parents that can dole out treats and what not, but if your pet doesn’t need as much attention, this’ll do fine.

Standard pet food isn’t typically expensive, but costs can rise if your pet requires (or at least benefits from) a specialized diet. Of the many brands that have discounted food during Pet Days, you can get a rare deal on Hill’s Science Diet dry food for cats and dogs. For instance, dry food formulas for indoor cats ages one through six are

24.49 for a seven-pound bag (almost always priced at

35) at Amazon. You can head to Hill’s landing page to see if they have a deal for your kind of pet, and note that subscribing to a recurring delivery will knock 20 percent off your total at checkout.

Surely, you’ve floated the idea of getting Apple Air Tags to keep track of your pet, right? Not every pet or pet parent will want to stick one on a collar, but for those who’d rather be safe than sorry, you can get a four-pack of first-gen Air Tag trackers at Woot (an Amazon-owned site) for

56.99. That’s the best price yet on a four-pack, which originally launched for

99. The newer second-gen Air Tag model offers better connectivity, Precision Tracking, and longer tracking distances, and a louder speaker, among other features. But if you’re not losing sight of your pet all that often, there’s no harm in saving some money with the older version.

Our cats don’t go outside. They’d get instantly demolished by the tougher feral cats that roam around. That doesn’t stop me from feeling bad that they’re all cooped up inside where their instinctive expression is limited. This 20-foot transparent cat tunnel with zippers on both ends is so cool that I may end up buying one. It’s currently

28.99, down from its usual

40 or so price at Amazon. Best of all, it’s part of a modular system of outdoor accessories, and you can attach the tunnel if you choose to upgrade later on.
