Pet tech and DNA kits are expected to be hot items once again this holiday season, especially considering how many people have adopted animals over the last two years. To get the best deals in these two categories, you’ll want to cross-reference the direct retailer site with sites like Amazon and Walmart. In many cases, direct retailers are offering better discounts or bundle deals to get more bang for your buck — but the downside is that you’ll have to sacrifice Amazon’s quick shipping.
We’re also starting to see deals on smaller pet items, like toys. Chewy is currently running an early cyber deals “buy three, get one free promo,” on toys and care products, where nearly every product is also discounted. Some of these sale-eligible toys are famous dog-approved, too, and have been seen on TikTok pages like @whataboutbunny and @bindisbucketlist.
