The collection features rainbow chew toys, a pride leash and harness combo, and a two-piece bikini for dogs.

Calls for PetSmart Boycott Over 'Pride Dog Bikini' and Gender Ideology Donations

PetSmart is facing boycott calls over their pride-themed pet merchandise and donation to GLSEN, a K-12 education program known for supporting in-school child gender transition without parental consent and incorporating gender ideology teachings in subjects like math. The company's pride pet line includes items such as the "Pride Dog Bikini," which has prompted criticism from consumers. While LGBTQ-themed pet products are not new to the store, there has been an uprise in backlash against this year's Pride Month line following the controversial Bud Light campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and calls to boycott Target over their pride-themed children's apparel created by a designer who has used satanic symbols.
