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.

RE: water in the field
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.
