Hello and welcome to another Washington Heights blog written by newyorkcitygal.

I have recently become a dog owner and realized that there is a need for one place online that Washington Heights residents can go to and find pet services. I also wanted to collect pics and stories of fellow Washington Heights pet owners to share online. To be considered for online posting, please email me with your zip code, 3 pictures of your pet, jpeg format, and a description of 300 words or less about your pet. Preference will be given to pet owners that live in the Washington Heights neighborhood.

Below is a brief bio on my new puppy Karma.

Karma purebreed West Highland Terrior, born in on November 28, 2008. Karma is still very hung and is not fully immunized to take walks yet. I look forward to long walks in the park and lot of bonding time. At time, I am concentrating on house training. Karma is getting use to going on wee wee pads but has had a few accidents which of course is normal. We are very excited to have Karma join our family and we hope to have many years of enjoyment with her.

Washington Hts word of mouth

As I was walking Phoebe one day, coming out of Fort Tryon Park in Washington Hts, a fellow pet owner recommended the website of www.petedge.com. Someone else recommended the same website in the neighborhood, raving about their prices. I took the liberty of checking out the website myself and I also must join the fans that rave about www.petedge.com. It is a wonderful website. One example of a good deal on petedge.com is 200 Puppy Pads measuring 22" x 23" for $35.49. I must say, this is a great price.
