To Go Bowl For Your Furry Friend Giveaway

"It's a hot day and I love going on a car ride, but I'm parched!"

"Mmmm, thanks for the fresh water, Mom!"

Traveling in the summer with the kids and our dogs is fun, but takes a lot of planning to keep everyone safe and happy.

In addition to our two boys, we have two fur children, Mandy and Chloe. The girls love to travel with us so I am glad that I just found something that will make those trips much easier for all of us. It's HOT in Texas, over a hundred most days lately, so frequent hydration is necessary. Getting my dogs their water always posed a problem until recently. We would make frequent stops at fast food restaurants to order a cup of water, hold the ice. This worked semi-ok for our larger dog with the long tongue, but she made a big mess all over the place lapping out of the small cup opening. Our smaller dog, a Chiweenie, had trouble drinking out of the big fast food cups. Another thing we tried was bringing a regular bowl along and either holding it for the girls or putting them on their leashes and taking them outside to drink it during potty stops.

I am happy to say that those sub par watering techniques are a thing of the past since I discovered the To Go Bowl from Furry Travelers.

What is the To Go Bowl? It's simply a wonderful travel bowl, in my opinion. The plastic water bowl is available in many different colors (see the yellow above in the photos with my doggie Chloe) and holds up to a liter of water. The bowl fits into the cup holder in most cars (front and back). I love that there is a splash guard as well and a removable cup holder base to store doggie treats. You can also use this as a regular bowl on the floor when you get to your destination.

I wish I had known about this bowl before now. When I received my To Go Bowl to try out, I just loved how both of my doggies were able to keep hydrated without making a huge mess in the car. The makers say that, "Not only is the To Go Bowl perfect for cars, but also boats, RV’s and even golf carts."

The To Go Bowl was inverted by Nancy Crib and she is happy to announce a new lavender and pink version of the bowl as well.

“We had many requests to add pink to our color selection, so while we were at it, we decided to add pearlescent lavender, too,” Cribb said. “The new colors are very popular. Pet owners all over tell me the To Go Bowl is a necessity for anyone who travels with their pets.”
