ABSTRACT:
A portable, foldable, leak-proof bowl is provided, suitable for use by hikers and campers to provide drinking water to dogs and other pets. The bowl comprises a flexible hoop capable of being twisted into at least two circles of smaller diameter, a foldable material attached to the hoop so as to define a circular bottom for the bowl, and a side also made of a foldable material, said side being preferably in the form of a cone section tapering toward the top. The bowl folds into a compact, aesthetically pleasing circular packet, and when fasteners holding it in the folded position are released, automatically opens to its ready-to-use bowl-shaped configuration.
