While Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to stock up on discounted gifts for yourself and family members, the day is also tailored to treating the furry friends in your lives.

Sign up to newsletters from pet retailers: Be the first to hear about discount days and links by ensuring you’re on the marketing list of your favourite pet stores. It could be handy to create a new email address to receive these deals so that they don’t get lost in the midst of your busy inbox. Signing up to the newsletters is a simple and effective way to get the right price for the goodies you want for your pet.
Look for pet price drops: Slashed prices on dog food, treats, toys, and grooming supplies at pet stores and online retailers often happen around Black Friday. Sites including Pets at Home, Petco and Amazon regularly roll out exclusive Black Friday deals, but also make sure you search for discount codes on sites such as MyVoucherCodes and CamelCamelCamel to get the most for your money.
Swot up on pet tech: Smart pet cameras, automatic feeders, GPS trackers and pet fitness trackers continue to grow in popularity among pet parents. These innovative gadgets are a handy way of keeping an eye on your pet’s habits and routines to make sure they’re keeping as safe as possible, but can also offer an element of entertainment.
Research pet subscription boxes: Keep an eye out for pet-themed subscription box services. Black Friday often offers discounted rates on these monthly packages filled with fab toys, treats, and goodies tailored exclusively for your furry one.
Create a wish list: It’s easy to think that your pet could benefit from something in particular one moment and then forget it the next. So pop them into an online wish list tool such as Mywishlist or Moonsift so you have all their lovely gift ideas all in one place.

Hi, I’m SJ. I’m the Beauty Editor and PR Executive here at MyVoucherCodes. As a qualified make-up artist, I've been able to share my knowledge on all things beauty and skincare with our readers so they not only look good and feel great, but save money. As a mum of three, I understand the challenges that families face, and making budgets go further is something I feel passionately about. My research and recommendations help families of all sizes shop better allowing them to enjoy the little luxuries in life. My work has been featured in many publications including The Sun, The Mirror, Netmums, and The Telegraph.

Outside of MyVoucherCodes, I'm a writer and interviewer for pop culture magazines like Buzz Magazine. I've chatted to celebrities such as Strictly's Johannes Redebe and poet Kae Tempest. It's certainly one of the best parts of my job. Over the years I've built a portfolio of work that shows the diversity of my writing, which gives me a breadth of knowledge and experience that I apply to my work every day.
