Product Review: The Waterboy

This 3-quart travel water bowl can be used while traveling, on a boat, car, anywhere. As your pet drinks, the Waterboy's design keeps the water level very low, preventing splashing. I have one of these for when I take my dogs in the car and I also use it in my puppy classes to prevent puppies from playing in the waterbowl. It's easy to keep clean and a really great way to bring plenty of water along on a trip. Click here to order it from Jeffers Pet at a great price
