But before we go into more about this amazing creation, let's look at the pros and cons of the water bottles on the market now:
Classic Convenience: Squeeze Bottles
The most traditional option, squeeze bottles offer a simple and familiar design. They consist of a bottle body, a secure lid with a spout. The water is expelled by squeezing the bottle.
| | PROS | CONS |
| 1 | Affordable & Readily Available- Squeeze bottles are generally the most budget-friendly option and can be easily found at most pet stores and online retailers. | Requires two hands- One hand is needed to squeeze the bottle, while the other needs to hold a separate bowl for your dog to drink. This can be inconvenient, especially during walks or hikes when you might be using a leash. |
| 2 | Easy to Use- The simple design makes them ideal for dog owners of all ages and abilities. | Limited Water Capacity- Squeeze bottles typically come in smaller sizes, making them unsuitable for larger dogs or extended adventures. |
| 3 | Lightweight & Portable- Perfect for short walks or quick outings. | Potential for a Mess- Since a separate bowl is needed, there's a higher chance of spills and drips, especially with messy drinkers. |
Collapsible Bowls
Collapsible bowls are often employed in tandem with squeeze bottles. They typically feature a silicone or fabric bowl that folds flat when not in use.
| | PROS | CONS |
| 1 | Convenience- Eliminates the need to use your hands to cup water, making it easier to manage on walks or hikes. | Limited Water Capacity- Similar to a squeeze bottles, collapsible bowl models usually have smaller capacities for shorter outings. It may only be suitable for some dogs: Some dogs might struggle to drink comfortably from a shallow, collapsible bowl. |
| 2 | Compact & Portable- Collapses for easy storage and transportation. | Durability Concerns- The collapsible bowls might be prone to wear and tear over time, especially with aggressive chewers. |
| 3 | Spill-proof- Many designs have leak-proof lids, minimizing the risk of spills or messes. | |

| | PROS | CONS |
| 1 | Ultimate Convenience- Fill the bowl by squeezing the trigger with one hand while keeping the leash in the other. Perfect for walks, runs, or hikes. | Cost- Spleash and similar pet water bottles might be slightly more expensive than traditional options. |
| 2 | Space-Saving- No need to carry a separate bottle or bowl, freeing up space in your hands or bag. | |
| 3 | Leak-Proof Design- These models boast secure locking mechanisms and leak-proof seals to prevent spills. | |
