The awkward part of a long walk is never the water, it is the container. A folding bowl needs both hands and a separate bottle; a bottle on its own means cupping your palm and losing half of it down your sleeve. This one solves the problem by hinging the bowl to the bottle itself, so giving your dog a drink takes one hand and no forward planning at all.

The body is 304 stainless steel, the food-grade grade used for kitchen equipment, and that matters for two reasons. It does not hold flavour or smell the way plastic does after a few warm days in the bottom of a rucksack, and it keeps water noticeably cooler for longer. A silicone sleeve gives it grip, and the wrist strap means you are not clamping it under one arm while sorting out the lead.

• 304 stainless steel body
• 285ml capacity
• Flip-out drinking bowl built into the lid
• Leak-proof closure for a bag or pocket
• Silicone grip sleeve
• Wrist strap
• Four finishes: blue, pink, and printed versions of each

On capacity. 285ml is a sensible pocket size, not a day's supply. It is roughly two decent drinks for a small dog and one for a medium one, so for a long summer hike with a bigger dog, treat this as the top-up bottle and carry the bulk of the water separately.

Who it's for: Owners of puppies and small to medium dogs who walk, run or drive far enough that a drink is needed, and would rather carry one item than two.
