Why the Increase?

It has been suggested that “walking my dog a couple blocks is no big deal” but we are experiencing it to be a very time consuming endeavor.  From the time spent on leashing and dressing your pooch,   fulfilling specific walking instructions (awaiting potties), as well as instructions within your home, to dealing with uncooperative doormen, unreliable elevators, and inclement weather, the service has transformed into something more of a “white glove” service. We can no longer offer walk home service at current prices. The last thing we want to do in these economic times is raise prices or cut back on services, however, the following  prices are more commensurate with the service at hand and the added liability that we incur. Fortunately, those who use the service on a regular basis will feel little effect other than pre-paying for walk homes in advance through the purchase of one of our packages.

Changes to our walk home service are as follows:

- Walk home parameters 30th to 36th Street, FDR to Park Avenue
- We will no longer service West of Park Avenue.
- On the Block is considered 33rd Street between 3rd Avenue and 2nd Avenue.
- Please remember: Make arrangements with your doorman to receive WPS walkers
- Please remember: Walk home requests should be scheduled no later than a half hour prior to closing (6:30 PM)
- Please remember: Walkers work for tips!

Come to Walter’s Pet Styles this Friday and Saturday for samples and discounts of the famous, high-quality Stella & Chewy’s brand of dog (and cat) food! We’ve recently introduced the line and it’s been a big hit. We’ve received amazing feedback, and now we’d like you to see for yourself (your dog will love you more for it!). Plus, it’s all natural meat raised on mid-western farms in the USA!

If you have never heard of the brand, or you’re looking for more information, a representative from the company will be here Friday from 3 PM – 7 PM and Saturday from 3 PM – 6 PM. She will be handing out samples and answering any and all questions, and we will be giving a couple dollars off all bags of frozen and freeze-dried meals, along with some discounts on the Carnivore Kisses freeze-dried treats.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY NASA!

Unlike passive filters, our Fresh Air unit (using needlepoint ionization and O3) duplicates the power of sunlight and thunderstorms to bring the solution to the pollution. Our EcoQuest unit uses the power of activated oxygen for fast coverage and increased elimination of surface and airborne bacteria!

Fresh Air for WPS

Proven in University studies to reduce 99.9% of mold and bacteria on surfaces* in as little as 2 hours. EcoQuest purifiers are scientifically proven to drop dust and pollen out of the breathing zone faster, while eliminating smoke and odors. ActivePure products have received the prestigious “Certified Space Technology” designation from the NASA-affiliated Space Foundation.

Scientific testing has demonstrated the use of EcoQuest’s ActivePure technology to substantially reduce microbial populations on surfaces – including but not limited to Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and S. chartarum.

When choosing a day care for your pet, remember… air quality matters!
