i was wondering what are some of the tricks to give your dog water out in the field. my friend has a bottle and just pours it out and his dog trys to drink it as its pouring out to the ground. she gets some of it but a lot is wasted and i dont think she gets enough.
thanks

There is something I've seen on the TV show Hunting With Hank where he carries a water pouch with a spout. But I would get (an have) a collapse water bowl. They are made of nylon and you can buy them at Petco or most pet stores.

I use a squirt bottle and squirt it right into the dogs mouth. I used to carry a small bowl and found you still waste water because you let the dog drink unitl it is satisfied , which leaves water in the bottom of the bowl. Although I used the water by pour it on the dogs back to help cool him off.

Same here. Squirt bottles work real well.
I also have a garden sprayer in the rig. If it's hot, I'll spray him down before we go out for a hunt, and spray him down again when we get back. He also likes to drink from the sprayer nozzle. Goofy dog.

I would take a water bowl for them.

In Iowa there is plenty of ponds, creeks and rivers for the dog to stop and get a drink I don't worry about bringing waterwith.

A couple weeks ago i saw a lady watering her dog from a water bottle that had a small dish hinged to it. It folded up into one unit which sat on a pouch on her hip. I believe you might find them in any pet store. It contained just over a litre of water.

I've used those water bottle with bowl attatched things. We used it in the car whil traveling with the dog. It worked pretty good. I think we got it at Walmart for a couple bucks.

You can buy a bottle with a small bowl attached to it that folds up from Upco pet supplies.
