Amazon's Pet Days is here: From May 11 to 15, you can score deals on the things you need for your best furry friend.
From cat toys to dog food and aquarium supplies, Amazon is offering discounts of up to 25% off items from dozens of brands. And everything can be shipped to your door.
During the sale, you can also stock up on those pricey items you need to care for your pet, like healthcare products. First-time "subscribe and save" customers will get an extra 35% off on products like flea and tick medication and heartworm treatments.
Anyone can shop the deals, but there are a few ways to save when spoiling your pets. Here's what you need to know.
Are you living paycheck to paycheck, or do you have a financial success you're comfortable sharing with a reporter? Please fill out this quick form.
Stack the savings with a Prime membership or the Prime Visa
Amazon Prime members will continue to get fast, free shipping on their orders during this promotion. If you're a frequent Amazon shopper, we recommend the Prime Visa to help you earn 5% back on your purchases with Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods.
If you're approved for the card, you're instantly issued a $150 Amazon gift card to your account, in case you want to shower your pet with even more.
The Prime Visa is only available to Amazon Prime members ($139 for an annual membership and $14.99 for a monthly membership) but is very rewarding for Amazon purchases.

Balance transfer fee

Plus, it's always a good time to get pet insurance
One of the most important things you can get for your furry friend is pet insurance.
This kind of coverage can help with the costs of sudden accidents and unexpected illnesses your pal may face. From a simple ear infection to a broken or hurt limb, getting your pet the care they need doesn't have to take a bite out of your budget.
Pet insurance typically reimburses between 70% and 90% of your vet bill, minus the deductible you choose up to an annual limit.
These policies don't typically include coverage for conditions your pet has had in the past. However, it can cover future illnesses and take the financial worry out of going to the vet.
Some of our favorite policies can help you pay the vet directly. Pumpkin's urgent pay service can get real-time approval for claims over $1,000, so you don't have to worry about waiting for a reimbursement.
