Pets
- Bess: Glen Allen Walken's pug.
- Gail: C.J. Cregg's pet goldfish. A gift from Danny Concannon. In the season 1 episode "The Short List," Josh Lyman told Danny that C.J. likes "goldfish." Although Josh was referring to snack crackers of the same name, Danny mistakenly believed he was referring to the aquatic creature; after giving C.J. the fish, Danny mentions that the pet-store owner had named it "Gail." On the DVD commentary track for episode 14, "In Excelsis Deo," Aaron Sorkin, Thomas Schlamme, and Alex Graves mention that the prop masters created a miniature Christmas ornament to place on the floor of Gail's fish bowl and that from then on, the prop masters often crafted tiny decorations related to the themes in a given episode, as when hostilities were escalating in India and Pakistan and the bowl contained a tiny bomb shelter. They also mention that many scenes set in C.J.'s office throughout the succeeding seasons include shots of Gail's bowl and that as of the commentary's recording at the end of season four, the prop masters insisted that the specific goldfish used had never been replaced.
- Henry: Amy Gardner's basset hound.
