Water Bottle: Fresh Water on the Go
On long walks, hikes or hot summer days, your dog needs a drink in between. A dog water bottle has a built-in drinking bowl that your dog can drink from directly. You don't need an extra bowl, and whatever is left simply flows back into the bottle. The Kerbl travel water bottles are available in 250 ml and 500 ml, so there's a size for every outing.
Easy to Use
Just squeeze the bottle gently or fold out the bowl, and the water flows into the drinking bowl. Once your dog has had enough, the rest flows back. That way no water is wasted, and you still have enough for the next break. The bottles are light, fit in a rucksack or side pocket and can be used with one hand. That's handy when you're holding the lead in the other. Fill the bottle with fresh tap water before you set off, and on hot days you can even pop it in the fridge beforehand.
Which Size Suits You?
The 250 ml bottle is compact and enough for small dogs or short rounds of the block. For large dogs, long walks and warm days, take the 500 ml bottle. In hot weather or with lots of exercise, it's worth taking frequent short drink breaks rather than letting your dog drink a lot at once. After the outing, rinse the bottle and leave it open to dry, so it's clean and ready for your next adventure together.
Frequently asked questions
How much water should I take for my dog when hiking?
In warm weather and with exercise, allow roughly 50 to 70 ml per kilo of body weight over the day, more when you're out and about. For a medium-sized dog on a half-day hike, half a litre to a litre is a good guide.
Can my dog drink from puddles or streams?
Puddles and standing water can contain germs, parasites or, in summer, blue-green algae. It's better to offer your dog your own water, so it's less tempted to lap up water anywhere.
How do I get the water bottle properly clean again?
Rinse it with warm water after every outing and leave it open to dry. For deposits, a bottle brush or a little diluted vinegar helps, then rinse well.
Water Bottle: Always Water to Hand When You're Out
On walks, hikes or in the car, a water bottle for your dog is a faithful companion. The built-in drinking bowl means you don't need an extra bowl. You fill the bowl with a gentle squeeze, your dog drinks straight from it, and the leftover water flows back into the bottle. So nothing goes to waste and you still have enough for the next break. The Kerbl travel bottles come in 250 ml for small dogs and short rounds and in 500 ml for large dogs and long walks. They're light, fit into any bag or jacket and can be used with one hand while you hold the lead. Especially on warm days, this helps you offer your dog fresh water regularly and without any fuss. Plan short drink breaks every now and then, rather than letting your dog gulp down a lot of water in one go, and rinse the bottle after each trip.
