Ruffwear Quencher Collapsible Waterproof Travel Dog Bowl, Lichen Green, Small


Great for all-round use.
I originally bought this item and a couple of other styles to try out on a camping trip. Surprisingly, this has been the most versatile and durable out of the bunch. Others either spilled, were difficult to stow, or wore out quickly. The flexible design allows it to be used just about anywhere It held water pretty much constantly for two years before it finally began to seep a little, and that was only dampness. I was not only able to fold it up for hikes, but kept it in the back of the SUV filled to about a third. It never spilled even on fairly rough roads, and the dog loved having water available whenever she liked. I'm buying two more so I can have one for food as well. You can't beat this for the price for a dog on the go!
Durable, Packable - get the right size though
I have a 18 and 20+ lbs Pekingese and Pug respectively - since they have squished faces, they really have to stuff their heads down into the bowl to get to the water. I got the small and now I realize I should have sized up because I can tell my dogs find it uncomfortable to have to wedge their heads into the mouth of the bowl.

That said, the bowl seems durable - made of thick nylon on the outside and lined with some waterproof synthetic on the inside I assume. Totally collapsible and packable, you could stick it in your pants pocket but it would take it most of the pocket. Throw it in your pack or tote and no problem. Could also wedge it between your dog's collar if you don't think he would mind.

The bowl stands up fine by itself when filled with water - might get tricky on uneven ground.

Pretty reasonable for the price but because of the sizing thing and my dogs' squished faces [should have really thought about this beforehand - check the vendor site...
great dog dish
We travel a lot with our dog. These bowls are perfect for our dog's use. The bowls are packable and easy to clean and make traveling with our pal much simpler.
