Highlighted Reviews
"I put this in the back of my Bronco when I travel with my dog. It can go in the seat or on the floor when I put the seats down. It doesn’t spill or slide at all. This bowl saves me from having to stop and give her water during longer trips. Game changer for me!"
"We bought this due to our puppy splashing the water out of her bowl. Due to this being light weight when she was unable to splash the bowl was picked up and dumped. The soft material was easily ripped so the bowl isn't able to be shared with someone who would find it useful"
Bottom Line
