Canine Commentary
The Drinkwell
Hydro-Go Canteen
By

Are
you looking for something new this summer? Tired of sharing
your water with your pup, all that dog slob everywhere? Drinkwell
has come up with the perfect solution!
They
have recently introduced the Hydro-Go Pet Canteen. This
product is a must-have for any pet owner who enjoys taking their
pets for walks, bringing them to work, or just hanging out
with friends.
This
cool new product expands into a water dish by laying out flat
against the ground. The water can even be directed back into
the canteen so you're sure to never miss a drop! In the hot
deserts of the Southwest and summer rapidly approaching, we are
placing the Hydro-Go on our list of summer goods which will be
available soon.
Here's
the scoop on this canteen: It can hold 36 ozs of water, and
opens up to act as both a food and water bowl, which contains 12 ozs
of fluid. It is very easily transportable with a nylon strap
that you can either place around your waist or over your
shoulder. Or better yet - have your pet carry it along in a
saddlebag! The mouth of the canteen is large enough to add ice
cubes too on a hot summer day, guaranteeing your pet a nice cool
drink whenever they need it.
With
this unique unit, you never need to worry about the quality of water
your pet is drinking (just bring it with you). Pets love it
too, it's as though they are getting a 'treat' with a canteen all
their own. Cleaning is simple as it is dishwasher safe -
something we always love to hear!
For
those readers who love to take their pets on hikes, but don't want
to carry a separate canteen for people and animal use, no
worries. Just disconnect the drinking bowl completely, fill
with water and recap. You have your own canteen and your pet
has his/her own drinking bowl.
Why
is this product important? Pets need lots of water to maintain
and promote healthy kidney and urinary tract functions, particularly
during the hot summer months. It also reminds you to drink
more water while you're walking your pet!
The concept for the Drinkwell
Hydro-Go is very simple and once you try it out, you'll be as sold
on the product as we were! This one is yet another
"must have" for pet owners worldwide!.
From the cats:
Leaps
of Joy: A
great idea that is long overdue! We love to go "on the
road" with our humans, and this lets us stay out as long as we
want!
Growls: None -
we love having fresh water from our "regular" water supply
to take with us on our favored outings with the family!
From
the humans:
Two opposable thumbs
up!
We
love this product! It's easy to maintain and carry, dishwasher
safe, and our pets love it. What else is there?
Drawback? Be
cautious when pouring water into the drinking area - it doesn't
"snap" closed and can fall open if it's not on a solid
surface. We get around this by placing it on a solid surface
when pouring.
