You’ve likely heard all of the buzz about Amazon Prime Day at some point online, even if you’re not a regular shopper yourself.

This year, more than ever, people are excited for the big online sale.

Why?

The annual sale was postponed from it’s usual July date in light of the coronavirus pandemic and the impact that it has had on Amazon’s warehouses.

With all of the restrictions in place this year, more people are shopping online than ever before.

The result? Amazon’s warehouses were slammed with a higher than usual wave of online orders, resulting in a series of inventory shortages and delivery delays.

However, the company says that it’s now caught up and ready to rock!

Beside her, an older woman with white hair, a pink long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans is sitting on the edge of the desk, also looking at the computer, holding her glasses in her hand.

What is Amazon Prime Day 2020?

Launched in 2015, Prime Day is a large two-day sale that is said to rival both Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The catch? It is only available to Amazon Prime members.

The sale started, originally, as a one-day celebration of Amazon’s 20th anniversary.

Despite a number of complications and challenges the first year, the company brought it back in 2016 and experienced great success.

Today, Amazon Prime Day 2020 is celebrated with 2 days of great sales as well as a number of ‘early Prime Day deals’ (some of which have already started).

Better still, many larger retailers have also rolled out big deals in an attempt to compete with the online sales giant.

What does this mean for us? Great savings are possible!

What Pet-Related Deals Can I Find on Amazon Prime Day 2020?

We don’t know exactly what deals are going to pop up that day.

However, there are a few tricks to keep in mind that will help you to leverage any sales that do come with this year’s event.

#1 – Save on Pet Food

Pet food is one of the biggest costs associated with pet ownership.

We’ve talked before about different ways that you can save money on pet food and one of the big points that I made was to leverage online sales.

This is your chance!

In previous years, a number of different dog food brands have gone on sale during Amazon Prime Day.

Better still, you could look at scoring a discount dog food subscription service, extending your savings beyond a single purchase!

If your food of choice is available in big box stores, keep an eye on their pricing.

As I previously mentioned, many stores will hold their own sales in an attempt to compete with the Amazon Prime Day 2020 buzz.

This may mean finding your go-to pet food at a much lower price.

#2 – Deals on Electronics

Amazon Prime Day often brings great savings when it comes to the purchase of electronics.

I’m not just talking about laptops and televisions!

There are a number of great products that have our pet’s best interests at heart. This includes rechargeable dog training collars and pet-specific camera systems like Furbo.

#3 – Make A Wish List of High-Value Items

Are there a few products you’ve really wanted to purchase but held off on due to the higher price point?

Some examples that come to mind include larger aquarium set-ups, cat trees and other cat furniture, high-quality rabbit huts and larger pet pen setups.

If so, this may just be your time to buy!

By making a list of the items that you are seriously interested in, you can stay focused as you watch for savings.

#4 – Support Small Businesses

In an effort to help boost the sales of small business owners, Amazon has launched an incredible deal this year.

Purchase $10 from select small businesses before October 12, 2020 and Amazon will give you a $10 credit to spend on Prime Day.

The best part? There is a whole ‘Pet Supplies’ section included!

This includes many of the products that we, as pet owners, would be purchasing anyway including biodegradable dog poop bags, ear cleaning solution and paw wipes.

#5 – Overwhelmed? Buy A Gift Card and Shop Later!

Last year, we saw some great deals on gift cards for Prime Day.

Amazon offered a $5 promo credit on a $25 Amazon Gift Cards Purchase, while gift cards to an assortment of other retailers also went on sale.

This is a great way to enjoy savings for months to come!

Like your high-ticket items, make a list of the gift cards that you plan on keeping an eye on.

There is no master list of gift cards going on sale, so it’s up to you to do the groundwork.
