Pet Owners in the Know

Published by catseyeediting under Animals Edit This

2144691682_dab94f87f4.jpgSome pets just know what they like, and they have their ways of letting you know their opinion. However, when it comes to pet care (grooming, training, etc.), you can’t really ask your pet how the session was for them. Instead, you have to rely on other pet owners, so how can you get the best advice and reviews on pet businesses and services?

Check out these pet-friendly yellow pages. You can find restaurants that allow pets as well as boarding, recreational activities, etc. that are right in your own area. If you know of a great pet business, add it to Yeepet’s database so other pet owners can know more about it. Reading other people’s reviews can also help you find eco-friendly options for your pet too.

Keep Warm & Dry This Fall

2958416656_38972c0028.jpgCan you believe that fall is already right around the corner (September 22 to be exact)? Although the changing seasons are beautiful to watch, it’s a challenging time for deciding what to wear. If you’re still in the summer mode, you might instinctually choose to not wear a jacket because you don’t have a comfortable, lightweight one. Those heavy, winter jackets that you still have in the back of your closet don’t really work for fall, so if you don’t have anything for the in between weather, check out the Marmot jacket.

Owning a jean jacket is a good starting point, but it’s not going to protect you from the rain or keep in the warmth once it gets wet. Plus, the material somewhat restricts you, so it’s not very comfortable for wearing if you’re out on the lake or hiking. So what else can you wear? The Marmot has some unique qualities that you don’t find in most lightweight jackets, and it fits both men and women.

The Marmot Mica Jacket for men comes in blue and black. Although the jacket only weighs 7 ounces (198 grams), it’s made from a durable material that’s tough and comfortable. Other features include 100% seam taped zippers, adjustable Velcro cuffs, angel-wing movement design, elastic draw cord hem, water resistant front zipper and zippered hand pockets. The Marmot Crystalline Jacket for women comes in blue and green and weighs 6 ounces (170 grams). According to Webtogs, the Marmot is made from a lightweight, waterproof and breathable technology called MemBrain Strata. In addition, the angel-wing movement design of the coat gives you functionality and doesn’t restrict any motion.

The Marmot jacket is versatile, because you can use it for all of the seasons and not have to worry about buying several jackets. If you camp, hike or climb during the winter, this would be an excellent layer to keep underneath your winter coat since it’s water resistant.

As we transition into fall, the weather will become more unpredictable, but this lightweight jacket can be easily rolled up and kept in a backpack if you decide to go on a long backcountry trip. It’s always better to be prepared with a jacket, and this one won’t be a burden if it stays in your pack.
