It's a good day to be a pet parent, y'all! Not to say that every day isn't when you've got your fluffy fur baby by your side, but guys—this massive PetSmart sale is here to make it even better. Yep, our go-to retailer for all things dog and cat (and lizard, and hamster...) is offering an *extra* 20 percent sitewide discount with coupon code SAVE20 from now through Oct. 17.

Whether they're fans of Hill's Science Diet Perfect Weight dry dog food (which comes *highly* recommended by veterinarians) or Purina's Pro Plan LIVECLEAR indoor formula (which is supposedly a great option for house cats), now's the perfect time to stock up on their faves. But just in case you want to switch things up, I researched some of the best pet foods you can buy for dogs and cats. Here's what I found out: Hill’s Science Diet is a favorite among veterinarians and pet parents alike, likely due to the fact that it has undergone extensive testing to ensure that the taste is a hit with pets and meets nutritional requirements for various health conditions, per the brand, so it's a win on every front.
