Pet tech, Dog DNA tests, and more

Spoil your furry friends this shopping holiday with these deals, which are all available as of Oct. 15:

Holiday shopping is all about buying gifts for your loved ones, and if your loved ones happen to be cats or dogs, you’re in luck. Ahead of Black Friday, we’re already seeing tons of sweet pet deals, so you’ll be able to spoil your furry friend for a bargain this year.

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. We’ve already spotted some solid discounts on Whistle smart collars, as well as Wisdom Panel, Basepaws, and Embark DNA kits. Find all those deals and more below, and be sure to check back on this page often — we’ll be updating it regularly with new deals.

OUR TOP PICK: Whistle Pet GPS trackers — 25% off all devices with code BRAND25

In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog month (and just in time for early holiday shopping), Whistle is offering 25% off all its smart devices when you bundle with a one or two year plan. You’d need the one or two year plan anyway to use any of the GPS location tracking that the devices offer, so this is a great deal to get a discount on both the device and the plan. Choose from the Whistle Fit, Whistle Go Explore, or Whistle Switch, depending on your pup’s needs.

BEST DOG DNA KIT DEAL: Wisdom Panel Premium DNA Kit — $125.99 (save $34 with code ADOPTDOG34)

If you’re tired of just saying that your dog is a mutt, the Wisdom Panel Premium will give you the exact breakdown of your pooch’s breed — down to 1%. Wisdom Panel tests across a huge variety of dog breeds, so even if your dog is a super rare international breed, you’ll still be able to find out their lineage. (It’s also one of our top picks for the best doggie DNA tests on the market.)

The Wisdom Panel Premium kit comes with handy health testing too, and will check your dog’s vision, weight, mobility, any potential drug sensitivities, and more. It’s basically the protective pet parent’s dream. If you buy from Wisdom Panel, use code ADOPTDOG34 to save $34 and donate a dollar to shelter dogs in honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. (If you’d rather save that dollar, the same test is on sale at Amazon for $124.99.)

BEST FOR CAT PARENTS: Basepaws Breed + Health DNA Test — $89 (save $40 and get a free dental test with code CATMONTH)

Ahead of National Cat Day on Oct. 29, Basepaws is offering $40 off their cat DNA test and throwing in a free dental health kit for good measure. You’ll be able to test your feline friend across four main breed groups, 21 individual breeds, and get a wild cat index — which lets you see how similar your pet’s DNA is to a lion, tiger, cheetah, and more. You’ll also be able to screen for 16 different genetic diseases and mutations, though it’s no substitute for consulting with a vet.

If you prefer to buy from Amazon, you can still score $30 off the Basepaws kit when you apply the on-page coupon. However, you won’t receive the free dental health kit if you opt to buy from Amazon.

This Embark kit tests for over 350 different breeds, and will even tell you if your pup is part coyote or wolf.

ChuckIt! — $1.99 (save $11)

If your dog loves to play fetch, a slobbery ball is pretty much inevitable. But with a ChuckIt!, you’ll never have to touch a gross ball with your hands again. It also helps you throw the ball faster and further, so your pooch can run at top speed and wear themselves out. Like they say, a tired dog is a well-behaved dog.

Another way to monitor your pet while you’re away from home, this Petcube camera comes with built-in Alexa and a fun laser toy (cat owners, rejoice). Control the laser toy remotely with your phone, or set it to auto-play mode to give your pet some activity while you’re busy at work. You’ll also be able to chat with your dog or cat thanks to two-way audio, and get sound and motion alerts so you’ll know immediately if something is amiss.
