This is a Travel Water Bottle for dogs from the RAC range of dog car travel products. The range includes water bottle, car seat covers, front seat guard and window guards.
It is a 0.5 litre plastic water bottle with a drinking bowl attached. The water bottle folds into the bowl when not in use so only takes up the size of a bottle so its easy to store and carry. Its ideal to use when travelling with your dog on journeys. The pack comes with photo instructions on the packaging to show you how to use it but its not difficult.
How do you use it? =================
Before leaving home fill the water bottle with fresh water from the tap. Screw the bottle onto the cap which is attached to the bowl. Keep the bottle upright at theis point until its firmly attached. When your dog needs a drink lift the bottle up from the bowl and squeeze some water out. The water will come through the cap and into the bowl. You have to hold the bottle to enable your dog to drink from the bowl. If you put it on the ground the weight of the water bottle will cause the bowl to tip so keep a hold of it whilst your dog drinks. Once your dog has had enough to drink tip any excess water out of the bowl (there shouldn't be too much as you just gently keep squeezing the water into the bowl until your dog has had enough) and then fold the bottle back into the bowl and its ready for the next time.
When would you use it? =====================
Whenever you go on a car journey, if you're out for the day or for a long walk. We take it with us when we go to training classes as our dog Oscar gets quite thirsty with all that hard work and biscuits! If you're out walking it fits neatly into your rucksack or when you're in the car we put it into the pocket of the seats.
Any other features? =================
It has a storage clip if you want to hang it on something, I guess you could hang it on the outside of your rucksack. The packaging also comes with guidelines from the Kennel Club for road travel with your dog, it's a 10 point plan of how to make your dogs car journeys more bearable for you and for the dog.
What does it cost? =================
It costs around £3.49
Where can I buy it? =================
I have seen if for sale in larger pet stores such as Pets At Home. Its also available from many of the online pet stores. It is also on sale on the RAC website and they offer members a 10% discount.
Advantages ===========
1. Very useful product. Unlike many gadgets for pets you will use this one a lot. 2. Gives you a happy and healthy dog. Its important dogs drink regularly 3. Very portable due to its compact size. You only need one bottle whereas before you would need a bottle of water and a separate bowl. 4. Not expensive.
Disadvantages ===============
1. My bottle leaks a bit if you tip it onto its side. However this may just be a fault with my bottle as I have spoken to other people who don't have this problem. I just ensure the bottle stays upright when I am carrying it.
2. Only holds 0.5litres so if you have 2 dogs or one thirsty dog you need to keep filling it up.
********** I would like to point out that I wanted this review put in a new category for pet travel products but Ciao said there wasn't enough topics and said to put it under automatic feeders. It's not really an automatic feeder but a water dispenser. Wanted to point that out incase anyone felt it was in the wrong category. Please ignore the categories below as they are not applicable thanks. **************
Advantages: Compact, can be hooked up Disadvantages: small, leaks, can be messy as dogs lap up over the sides
I brought this product as I am a proffessional dog walker and have many dogs on long walks that need drinks. This product only holds a small amount of water and for multiple dogs it is not ideal and I prefer a 1litr bottle and bowl method. It also has the annoying habbit of leaking when not kept upright but a small string at the top means I can hook it onto my car no problem. I have found some dogs do not want to drink out of this weird shaped container.

Review of K9 RAC Travel Water Bottle
Advantages: stops dogs getting dehydrated on summer walks Disadvantages: only hold 500ml of water
My two boys enjoy a lovely long walk everyday, but in the summer they get very thirsty. I don't take a rucksack out walking with me so it was very arkward having to carry around a bottle of water and a bowl seperatly.
This item from the RAC has proved invaluable to my dogs when out walking. They often use to drink from the lake, I know this is a completely natural doggy thing to do but I prefered for my dogs to drink clean water so I purchased this ... ...spotted it in Pets At Home for £3.49.)
The item is a plastic bottle which has a tray that folds down. You fill the bottle with fresh water before you go out on your walk and rescrew the cap. When your dog needs a drink you simply pull down the tray (which acts as the bowl) and squeeze water from the bottle. You then must hold the bottle whilst your dog drinks, it won't stay upright on its own if you place it on the floor. When your dog has finished, ...

Advantages: greatidea, could be expanded upon Disadvantages: leaks, not enough capacity
This product is a helpful and much needed design though the one i have has a few technical disadvantages. The capacity is small, only holding 500ml. This isn't so helpful if outon long walks as it will run out in no time. If you can find bigger models it would be better. The resevoir the water colects in can be a little awkward for the dog to drink from, it's shape and high sides making it impossible for larger dogs to finish off all the water. Also ... ...of the bottle are either too small (making the water drip out at 1ml/hour) or too big (the bottle leaks when carrying it).
The idea is very useful when out on walks and will usually come with a strap which makes carrying it easy. A few technical difficulties thoughi'm sure people can get around these. ...
