Dogs drink less when they are out than when they are at home, and it is rarely because they are not thirsty. It is because offering water is inconvenient for the person holding the lead. Panting loses water steadily, so the warm days that need it most are exactly the days intake drops.
This is a bottle, a fold-out bowl and a waste bag holder in one unit, and the reason it works is that all of it is operated with the hand that is not holding the lead. Press the button, the water runs into the trough, the dog drinks. Tip it back up and whatever they did not finish pours back into the bottle rather than onto the pavement, so nothing is wasted and you are not carrying a wet bowl.
The bag holder is built into the base, which means the two things you always need on a walk are on the same object.
It holds 300ml — enough for several offers on an hour's walk rather than one long drink. The lid seals against a bag rather than leaking into it.
Offer water several times rather than once at the end. A dog that has been panting for forty minutes will take a sensible amount at twenty and gulp at the finish.
