Claim 10:
11. A portable pet canteen, comprising:
a flexible water-impermeable bladder having peripheral edges defining a footprint, an upper wall of the bladder defining an upper opening, and a water-tight cavity being formed within the bladder;
a rigid inner scaffold having a smaller periphery than the footprint of the bladder secured to the upper opening of the bladder and extending into the cavity, the inner scaffold having an axial height defined by upstanding side walls surrounding an inner volume and an upper mouth, wherein the inner scaffold has a lower base from which the side walls extend upward and two diametrically-opposed apertures in the side walls extending from the base upward for free flow of water between the bladder cavity and the inner volume, the base extending and being oriented radially inward from an inner surface of the side walls and having a central aperture for free flow of water between the bladder cavity and the inner volume within the side walls, and the base further having a plurality of radial grooves formed on an underside thereof to provide channels for water flow from around the inner scaffold to the central aperture, such that a pet may access water within the inner volume through the upper mouth; and
an upper lid securable over the upper mouth of the inner scaffold to form a closure such that the pet canteen is watertight when closed.
