How to Make a Bottle of Water a Portable Pet Water Bowl

Taking your dog for a hike can be a great way to enjoy the great outdoors with your pet. When you're packing supplies for yourself, make sure you don't forget some basic essentials for your furred friend. For water, pack enough for yourself and your pooch, and bring along an empty water bottle. Any water bottle with a screw-on cap can be made in to a portable pet water bottle.

Things You'll Need

  • Plastic water or soda bottle (at least 2 liters)

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the cap and cut the water bottle in half, so that you have one piece that contains the cap and spout, and the other that is the bottom. Try to make the cut as cleanly as possible -- you do not want any jagged edges or pieces of danging plastic that can harm your dog's tongue or poke him in the eye when he leans down for a drink.

      Reattach the cap to the top half of the water bottle and place this half, inverted, inside the bottom portion of the water bottle. It should fit snugly. The top of the water bottle should now form a small bowl inside the stand that is the bottom half.

      Fill this bowl with water and allow your pet to drink. Once your furred friend has had his fill, disassemble and store in your hiking pack for future use.
