Last year, Americans collectively spent $72.56 billion on their pets; by the end of 2019, the total is expected to surpass $75 billion.
In short, pet owners spend a lot of dough on their fur babies. That’s why every pet parent should take advantage of the big savings on Amazon.
Amazon Prime Day is on July 15th & 16th in 2019. If you don’t currently pay for a membership, you can sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime prior to Prime Day. This lets you test the service for free but still reap the benefits.
What is Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime is a paid subscription from Amazon which allows users to have exclusive access to services and cost savings unavailable to non-members.
How Much Does Amazon Prime Cost?
A standard Amazon Prime membership is $119 per year, or $12.99 if you pay monthly. An Amazon Prime Student membership is $59 per year, or $6.49 if you pay monthly.
The Benefits of Amazon Prime
Aside from access to massive savings on Prime Day, there are other benefits to an Amazon Prime membership, such as:
- Free two-day shipping
- Unlimited video streaming
- Whole Foods benefits
- Free two-hour delivery
- Music streaming
- Lightning deals
- One free e-book per month
- Exclusive phone discounts
If you spoil your fur baby, you might as well save a buck or two in the process. Here are some of the best current savings on Amazon and our pet product wish list for Prime Day 2019.
