Best Early Prime Day Deals for Pets, Pet Owners, and Animal Lovers

Prime Big Deal Days officially start on October 8, but as pet owners and animal lovers, we’re excited to see early deals for the dogs, cats, and even birds in our lives. From smart trackers to cameras let’s sniff around and see what sales will set tails wagging.

Having a camera to keep track of your dog’s shenanigans while you’re out and about is nice and all, but there’s a better way to do things—get a camera that can also throw them treats. Yep, you read that right. This Furbo 360 Dog Camera can turn 360 degrees so you can check your pet’s location, keeping track of them on its own. When you’re checking the feed, you can choose to give your pet a treat, much to their delight. In our review of the Furbo 360 Dog Camera, our expert also notes that the device works with Amazon Alexa but lacks support for Google Assistant.

Whenever you’re taking your dog out, there’s a chance they’ll snap off their lead and run away. Some dogs will even do that for fun. Well, whatever the case with your fur ball, the Tractive GPS Dog LTE Tracker can help you find their location immediately. In our review of this tracker, we gave it an “Excellent” rating and the Editors’ Choice award, praising how fast it can send alerts when the pets escape certain perimeters. The tracker goes on your pet’s collar and it won’t just tell you their location but also how active they were, how long they slept, and how many calories they burned during their latest zoomies.

If you want to keep your pets on a strict meal schedule, then the Petkit automatic pet feeder may be just what you need. The device comes with an HD camera that captures footage of your pets chomping away at their kibble. The feeder also supports two-way audio and allows you to record a personal meal call so they will get used to your voice calling them. You can customize how much food your pets get for each meal to suit the recommendations for their weight and breed. This feeder will come in handy for all those demanding cats who scream for food at 5 a.m., or whenever you’re at work or on vacation. Make sure to check out some other great pet cameras we tested for comparison.

Those who are into birdwatching can really have a ton of fun with the Netvue Birdify bird feeder. Not only will this one help you feed the neighborhood birdies, but it will also capture pictures and videos of them when motion is detected. The camera is solar-powered, so you don’t have to worry about any wires or swapping batteries, and the whole construction is weatherproof. There’s even an app you can subscribe to identify the bird species. The best part is that it’s heavily discounted ahead of Prime Day. Check out our review of the Birdbuddy Smart Bird Feeder for a solid comparison.

We have a cat we adore, but he doesn’t really know how to bury anything once he goes potty. Since our two dogs are quick to try and clean up, it’s a race against time. If you’re in a similar situation or you just absolutely hate cleaning the litter box all the time, this discounted Petkit model cleans itself. Once your cat does its business, the litter is sifted, and the droppings or the clumps get pushed into a box and contained there for a few days. Even without the heavy discount, this is a must have!

I have been a writer since 2006 when I covered various domains for local publications. In 2012, I started covering technology broadly and I’ve written thousands of articles since then. I’ve written social media and cybersecurity news, software and hardware reviews, streaming guides, how-tos, tech deals, and more. I have bylines in numerous publications, including MakeUseOf, Pocket-Lint, Android Police, How to Geek, XDA, Softpedia, as well as here at PCMag. When I’m not working, I like to spend time with my family, read, game, paint, listen to music, and run around after our many pets asking what it is they’re chewing on this time.
