As a geek and dog Dad, I buy plenty of tech for my girl Beesly, and of course Amazon Prime Day has pet deals in addition to deals for normal boring humans. I've rounded up the best tech deals (and some not-so-tech deal) to have fun and keep your pet safe, starting with my favorite life jacket, this Malier dog life vest for $20.99. It comes in a number of colorful shark options, and it offers a high level of buoyancy to keep my dog's head above the waves.

If you want to keep an eye on your pooch while you are out of the house, there are some good home camera options on sale for Prime Day.

This Dyson Ball Animal Total Clean deal drops the powerful upright vacuum to the lowest price I've seen, making it a good choice for pet owners who need more suction power, and maybe a few extra tools to get the job done. It's a bit cheaper than the Dyson Ball Animal 3, which has a few more features, but this vacuum doesn't lack power - Dyson says its the most powerful vacuum you can buy.

This is an amazing deal on a durable set of balls your dog can fetch or chew or just chase to her heart's content. Beesly especially likes when you throw the ball and then throw the second ball before she brings back the first one. In fact, Beesly thinks you should just buy a bunch of 2-packs, because she's going to need a lot of play time.
