Just as the primaries are moving west, so is Political Party Pets. In Let Pets Wag Tails for Party of Choice, Carol McGraw of the Colorado Springs Gazette reported:

What kind of political animal is living under your roof (and we don’t mean the human kind)? Is your dog a Repuppycan or a Doggy Democrat? Is your cat a Democat or a Republikitten?

Let them proclaim their affiliation with the help of My Dog Votes and Political Party Pets, online companies that sell all sorts of clothing and accessories for your campaigning pet companions.

Political Party Pets (politicalpartypets.com) has dog and cat bowls with party symbols for $29.95 and $34.95. The T-shirts for dogs range from $14.95 to $17.95. That site also has a political blog and a place you can vote for candidates. Among the choices: Howl for Hillary, Bark for Barack, Ruff for Rudy, Mew for McCain, Hiss for Huckabee.

Both companies say their goal is to get out the vote, and at My Dog Votes (mydogvotes.com) you can get lawn signs, buttons and T-shirts that say “Help Lick Voter Apathy” and “Vote Dog Friendly.”
