A jacket just for dog walkers

jacket2I love it!  The K-Rosco Utility Jacket (shown on right) has been designed — get this — specifically for dog walkers.

This stylish  jacket has removable sleeves so it can be worn all year round.

Features include: a cargo pocket with  pick-up bags,  a waist belt/leash, which can be used for collared dogs or if finding a lose dog without a collar;  removable plastic pocket liner for dog treats or waste; retractable coil key clip; back mesh water bottle pocket; plus pockets to accommodate everything from a cell phone, identification, sunglasses, tissues and more.

When asked what inspired Marg Shadid of Let’s Go Designs to create the jacket she said: ”I tired of spending wasted time stuffing my pockets of various jackets/coats with lousy grocery bags, forgetting my home key … whatever! I wanted to have that time back to enjoy walking with my dogs without the ‘I forgot’ frustrations, or a neighbor getting angry because I did forget a pick-up bag. I just wanted one supplied jacket!”

    About Me

    My career in writing about pets happened by chance. A neighbor in my tiny southern California town moved out of his home leaving behind his two dogs – a Chow and Jack Russell. This was in the early 90s, mind you, not during today’s foreclosure fiasco. Back then I was young enough to naively believe it was all just a big, big mistake and he’d soon return for them. Of course, that never happened so I rounded up the dogs in my Toyota 4 Runner and drove 30 minutes to a no-kill shelter in a neighboring community. Not long afterward, I began volunteering for the shelter and writing articles for local publications about the plight of homeless animals. Today, more than 15 years later, I tackle anything and everything related to pets ranging from the serious to the ridiculous. My work has appeared in a wide range of publications including: Cat Fancy, Family Circle, The New York Times, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor and National Geographic online. I'm a contributing editor to Dog Fancy magazine and author of three books on pet care. My work is also included in the book The New York Times Practical Guide to Practically Everything.
