As long-time dog owners we have tried various ways to easily provide water to our pets while traveling. So excited to have found "Wander Water Bowl"! The angled design and gripper bottom help to keep the bowl lying flat on the car seat; the tapered lip helps to limit splashing. I love the suggestion on the product packaging to use ice cubes in the bowl as a way to limit the possibility of splashing and to keep the water cooler for man's best friend. In addition the bowl is lightweight, dishwasher safe, and made with food grade silicon. And if your doggie thinks it would also make a fun chew toy, the bowl is flexible, but very sturdy.
