FREE $200 GIFT CARD: August 26 marks International Dog Day! Celebrate with deals across all pet gear. New Chewy customers receive a $20 e-gift card with the purchase of $49 or more.

August 26 marks International Dog Day, a day to celebrate the pups who make our life better — as if we don't already do that everyday. However, it's a good excuse to give our furry friends a little something extra, whether that be fresh treats or a new toy, ready to be ripped apart within seconds.

The deals are expansive, covering nearly every category. Amazon and Chewy are especially showing great deals on food from Purina Pro Plan and Hill's Science Diet. Plus if after an active summer your dog's bed is looking and smelling a little... funky, there are cozy options ready for a new season.

And while today is all about dogs, don't worry cat owners, there are plenty of deals for our feline friends, too. Here are the best deals to shop on International Dog Day.

Why we like it

When you're embarking on pet parenthood, the start-up costs are expensive. Between vet appointments, a crate, leash, harness, food, toys, well, the list could go on and on. What we're saying is, pet ownership is expensive so getting a little something back can go a long way.

For new Chewy customers, when you spend over $49 and use code 'WELCOME' at checkout, you'll receive a $20 e-gift card. Since we know you'll need a refresh on supply after a couple of months, whether it be food, treats, or toys, that $20 e-gift card will come in handy.

If you've yet to use Chewy, just know it will save you plenty of trips as it ships pet supplies straight to your door. This is especially helpful for heavy supplies like big bags of kibble or cat litter that you're sick of lugging home.
