Love your Pet: Washingtonian's Pet Poll

By Julie Lawson

Where does your pet sleep at night? We asked pet owners who visited our Web site, Washingtonian.com, that question and others. More than 2,500 Washingtonians took part in our online poll.

This article is from 2006's Pet Guide package. The information may be out-of-date, so please call locations listed for new information.
