Easy to keep a meal’s worth of his food in case we are gone for a few hours. In Florida, I need to make sure he is fed and hydrated. Compact and easy to throw into the “dog bag”.

Fabiola said, “My dog loves it. She’s 35 lbs and she has plenty of room. The only thing is that the leash that attaches to the dog opened by itself, even though my dog didn’t move a lot. I would use a separate leash for safety. Overall it’s very comfortable and looks nice, doesn’t take up too much space. Perfect for long car rides.”

One reviewer said, “These bowls are perfect for your pets while taking walks or for traveling! They are very sturdy, easy to clean, easy to collapse and extend, and the well-fitting lids make these bowls great to store treats or kibble. The lids are not leakproof so you will have to bring your own water or obtain some separately. The carabiners are sturdy too and make these bowls easy to attach to some pet carriers or leashes, harnesses, or purses. I love these pet travel bowls!”

No shaking and she will even stand up on the cushion part to look out the window. It’s an easy in and out so we can drip it off with my parents when they babysit her so she has a favorite place to sleep.”
