Contest: Wag the Vote

Petplan Pet Insurance has just launched a politically-themed “Wag the Vote” video contest, which will award the winner $5,000 and the winner’s pet charity $5,000 for a total of $10,000 in prizes. In the dog-eat-dog world of politics, Petplan’s “Wag the Vote” video contest offers a fun, tongue-in-cheek take on the election season, and gives pet parents the chance to show off their pet, win cash – and help pets in need.

To enter the race, pet parents nominate their pet by posting a short (three minutes or less) campaign video showcasing their dog’s or cat’s paws-itively presidential personality. Then, they rally friends and family to “Wag the Vote” and help them win.  Thousands of votes have already been cast, as pet parents are heating up the campaign trail!

For pet parents who need a little inspiration to get on the campaign trail, Petplan has created a sample video starring Benny the Pug, Petplan’s resident pet-itorial intern. In the video, Benny promotes his plan for solving unemployment, health care and economic woes and promises a brighter, better tomorrow for all. Entries are due by Nov. 8, 2012. For more information about how to enter the race, official contest rules and a peek at who is already in the running, visit www.wagthevote.com.
