Portable Collapsible Silicone Dog Water Bottle 2-in-1

The dog is panting and the nearest tap is two kilometres away.

July, midday, the pavement is baking. You are carrying a bottle but nothing to pour it into — so you cup your hand, half of it goes on the ground, the dog gets three mouthfuls and you walk on.

This is a bottle and a bowl in one. You squeeze, water fills the bowl, the dog drinks — and whatever is left flows back inside.

Why it works

• 2-in-1 – no separate bowl to carry and nowhere to rinse it.
• Leak-proof – it can go upside down in a rucksack without wetting anything.
• Returns the water – what the dog does not drink goes back into the bottle. Nothing is wasted.
• Folds flat – 11.4 × 12.3 cm folded, it fits a pocket or a side mesh.
• Clips to the lead or rucksack – your hands stay free.
• Fully dismantles – it gets properly washed, not just rinsed.
• Food-grade silicone and PP, ISO and FDA – materials certified for food contact.

What you lose by not having one

• The dog drinks from puddles and other dogs' bowls. That is exactly how parasites and gut infections pass between dogs — and then you pay the vet.
• You cut walks short. In summer you head home early because there is no water. The dog gets less exercise precisely when it needs more.
• You spill more than the dog drinks. A cupped hand, a bottle cap or a plastic bag — all ways of putting water on the ground.
• You carry two things. Bottle and bowl, with the bowl always wet and making a mess of the bag.
• You buy water on the way. Every summer, every walk, several times over.
• In the car you have nothing. On a trip, on holiday or at the vet the dog waits while you find something.

Where it works

Daily walks, hills and long hikes, the beach, car journeys, vet visits, camping, dog parks, training and shows.

Specifications

Good to know

• It dismantles fully — wash it after a walk and leave it open to dry. Silicone picks up smells if it is put away wet.
• Fill with water only. Milk, broth or sweetened drinks leave a residue on silicone.
• Do not leave it in direct sun in a closed car — the water heats up quickly.

A dog cannot tell you it is thirsty. It can only slow down — and by then it has been thirsty for a while.
