For total convenience while out with your pooch, this compact dog water bottle from M&MKPET is a winner. With its neat, one-hand operation and the ready to use drinking trough built in, this portable bottle is easy for your pet to drink from. It is on the small side – holding ounces of water – so more suited to the small dog or other small animals but there is also an 18-ounce version available.

Made from antibacterial, BPA-free plastic, this dog travel water bottle is durable and also super easy to clean. You operate the water dispenser by a single click of a button and the flow to the trough is smooth. Plus, the key lock lid means you can rest easy against spills and leaks in your bag or rucksack. We think this bottle is also a great puppy water bottle and one to have in your bag or car for whenever you and your small pet are on the go.

So often it is the simple ideas that are the best, and this certainly applies to the clever AutoDogMug. A sturdy dog water bottle with a nice-sized top drinking trough, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without this dog bowl water bottle on those long walks or trips in the car.

In a choice of three colors and holding a decent 20 ounces, dispensing water with its one-hand system is easy helps you avoid waste or mess. Simply squeeze the body of the dog bottle to release water into the bowl, and when you release the squeeze the valve allows the water to return. Or if the water has become mucky, just tip it away without the risk of it contaminating the rest of the fresh water inside the bottle. With the squeeze system you can control the amount of water your pet drinks each time and saves water for a later dog-thirsty drinking session. Made from BPA-free plastic, the AutoDogMug is totally pet safe and tough and comes with a removable Velcro strap so you can attach to your backpack or use as a carry handle. Plus, this portable dog water bottle has been designed to fit into most car cup holders for extra security as you drive.

Although this is a handsome-looking dog water bottle, with the H2O4K9 it’s not a case of style over substance as you get a super-large 25-ounce capacity and a simple to use drinking bowl to boot. Made from food-grade stainless steel with a recyclable and BPA-free lid, this is a sturdy pet water bottle that is particularly suited to larger dogs. The lid doubles up as the drinking bowl and is shaped to be comfortable for most sizes of medium to large canines, without spilling any water as they slurp away. And the designers have made the mouth of the bottle large enough to pop in a couple of ice cubes to keep the water cool.

Despite its designer looks, the H2O4K9 is a tough cookie and more than at home out on the trail or on an adventure trip. It fits in most cup holders and with a top loop, can be easily attached to the outer of a rucksack with a carabiner clip, which is the only thing that is not included. This is a durable, activity friendly dog drinking bottle that has been built to last.

Perfect for the smaller dog, these great-priced pet water bottles from Gulpy feature a pull-out trough that snugly fits the length of the bottle when not in use.  The minimalist design of the Gulpy dog water bottle makes it super easy to use and carry and can hold enough water for an average length walk or journey in the car. And it saves on wasted water too as you only dispense as much as you squeeze.

The trough is a good size and the length means you pooch can comfortably get their muzzle in to drink without spilling or slobbering. When you’re finished, simply tip the surplus trough water away and clip it back into place and have a slimline water bottle to pop back in to you bag. The top end of the trough also acts as a carry loop so you can clip the Gulpy dog water bowl bottle on to your belt or backpack for hands-free, convenient carrying so you and your pooch can get on with your walk or playtime.

For the smaller dog or pup, this is a simple but effective pet water bottle that will ensure your pooch is always hydrated wherever you go. Using the same ‘flip down’ lid style as the Gulpy, this is a smaller capacity bottle that is so easy to use and carry. Holding up to 11 ounces of fluid, it can also be used for other smaller animals such as cats or rabbits.

The bottle is leak-proof too, so ideal for popping in your backpack when not in use. We really like the cute design and the price is good too – a great choice for a puppy water bottle.

If you are looking for a large capacity dog travel water bottle that will fit in your car for long journeys, a camping trip or extended travel, then check out this super-sized travel water bowl from Lixit.

Simply take off the trough and fill from the water bottle and your dog is good to go.
