After reviewing various home made collapsible water dishes on the internet I decided they took too much effort , so I decided to make one using my own simple design.  Note I could not find any other references to this design so I decided to post this video to help others.

Make a simple, free, portable, collapsible pet water dish from box board or thin cardboard, tape and a large heavy duty zip lock freezer bag.  The water dish collapses (folds) for easy storage or carrying.  This video shows you how to make this water dish using four 6"x3" strips of box board or thin cardboard (Strip length is approx 2/3 width of plastic bag, if your bag is a different size).  The cardboard corrugations need to be parallel with the long side of the strip (for strength).  Tape the four strips end to end to form a square.  Insert square into plastic bag and press down in center to form bowl, then close zip lock on plastic bag.  Fill bowl with water for pet.  Once done empty water, unzip bag, collapse and fold cardboard square.  Put collapsed square in zip lock bag, fold over and secure with elastic band .  Ideal for traveling, walking or hiking with your pet.
