I love the concept of this product. The idea is that it should be extremely versatile in any situation (I take my dog to work, on hikes, on the train, etc. because he is training to be a service dog), and it is.But beware that it's not going to be the right choice for you if you have a big dog, or a dog with a big face. Arlo is 80lbs and his snout takes up all the empty space in the bowl. It's so big that the sides of the bowl will collapse to accommodate him reaching the water. As a consequence, the water falls out of the bowl and onto whatever surface it is on. The bowl is not designed for bigger dogs. I should have taken some other review I saw here when I was purchasing it seriously.I'm bummed!

I should add that the material's water resistance has faded with time. If I could exchange it or get my money back, I would! Glad I chose to get it on sale.

I love this bowl. It's so easy to stuff in my pack pocket or pants pocket and take with us on the trail or to the park. I was a little worried about the small opening, but my German Shepherd/Lab mix drinks out of it happily and easily. I read reviews about it being difficult to repack, but this has not been a problem for me at all. It repacks and closes, and it dries fairly quickly. I'm really pleased and plan to buy another one because this packs so small that I tend to misplace it and would like to have a couple in different travel bags.

Only good for water or dry food...there is a wierd fabric inside that doesnt make sense and I have no idea the purpose for it. Im worried it will get ruined and cause problems like mold or something with anything else like wet food or anything that's not water. 5 stars if that fabric wasn't there though.. it folds up to about the size of a u.s. half dollar coin and is very convenient when traveling light.

I love this little lightweight bowl!! Packable bowls have not been at the top of my wish list. My dogs will drink out of bike bottles & camelbaks on the trail, but they are pretty messy and I always feel like half of it ends up on the ground. We went for a hot, dry hike and I threw this bowl in to help conserve the water I was carrying for them. I expected to just put it underneath the camelbak stream to catch whatever they missed, but they quickly realized they could lap more water from the bowl than the nozzle. Worked best if I filled it partway and held it for them to drink out of so I could help angle it to get the water to them. Way less wasted water!! I also like that I can flip it inside out & hang it on my pack by the little tab to dry it out, then pack it ... MoreI love this little lightweight bowl!!

Will be grabbing this anytime I’m unsure about water sources from now on!
Let me start by saying you would be better off bringing a plastic shopping bag for your dog to drink from. Repurpose a bag with the same weight and packability.I can't attest to it's durability because I haven't been able to use it that much. Note that I am saying I have had the chance to use it many times but have chosen not to use it. Yes, it's compact and ultralight. That's the end of it's usefulness. Period.The fabric is so thin, I wouldn't think it would last up to the years and years of use and abuse that I got from the REI dog bowls. The fabric is so thin that you have to stoop over to support the bow while your dog drinks. The bowl itself is too small for a medium or large dog to gulp down lots of water at a time. Also, the opening is so small that my ... MoreLet me start by saying you would be better off bringing a plastic shopping bag for your dog to drink from.

The fabric is so thin that you have to stoop over to support the bow while your dog drinks. The bowl itself is too small for a medium or large dog to gulp down lots of water at a time. Also, the opening is so small that my dogs flatten the bow to get any water out, spilling the water everywhere. Totally useless!I have German Shorthaired Pointers. If you bring your Chihuahua or Lhasa Apso on a short hike with you, then this bowl might work.
This is a small, lightweight collapsible bowl, but it is difficult to use.The integrated pouch is very small, and the included strap/snap is short, making for a very tight fit when you fold it up.This is ok if you’re running with your dog and fill up the bowl once per run, but if you are filling the bowl multiple times, it is a real pain to unfold and fold it back into the pouch. It took me a couple minutes to unfold and fold it back up for each use in cold weather with cold fingers. I ended up leaving it unfolded and hooking the strap around my Ruffwear Roamer bungee leash (which straps around your waist). The bowl flapped around in the wind and eventually rotated around the leash waist strap to my back.This seems like a well-engineered and well-made, but ... MoreThis is a small, lightweight collapsible bowl, but it is difficult to use.The integrated pouch is very small, and the included strap/snap is short, making for a very tight fit when you fold it up.This is ok if you’re running with your dog and fill up the bowl once per run, but if you are filling the bowl multiple times, it is a real pain to unfold and fold it back into the pouch.

The bowl flapped around in the wind and eventually rotated around the leash waist strap to my back.This seems like a well-engineered and well-made, but poorly tested product. It is not suitable for how I wanted to use it.This is honestly the only Ruffwear product that hasn’t performed up to my expectations (and I have two Ruffwear Bivy collapsible bowls, two Quencher dog bowls, three harnesses, three collars, multiple sets of shoes, and two leashes).
This is, of course, great quality from ruffwear as always. I want to preface this by saying, I hate when people give low ratings for failing to look at the size measurements. I did look, but still feel it is tinier than I’d like to see for this type of product. I have a 70 pound golden retriever and her nose/muzzle barely fits inside this bowl’s opening to be able to get water. If it is being used by trail runners, it obviously has to be convenient and light, but the fact is most runners aren’t running with chihuahua or yorkie sized dogs - they tend to run with larger dogs. Unless you’ve got a long/skinny nosed dog (like a doberman or poodle), I think most large breed dogs will feel that this is a bit tight for their muzzle to fit, even if they are thirsty.
When I initially purchased the bowl (along with the palisades pack) it was for my dog, Turk, to use during our AT thru-hike. Due to the current pandemic, our hike was put on an indefinite hold. Nevertheless, I wanted to let Turk use his new backpacking gear (because I know how exciting it is to get to use new gear...). Turk somehow knew the bag delivered was something for him as he began investing it before I could get it opened up fully. The size I bought is a bit on the small side compared to Turk but that didn’t seem to be an issue for him! He stuck his muzzle in the bowl lapping at the water I had just poured. The small size doesn’t seem to create any type of hindrance.Turk was ready to go for a walk so I strapped on his new pack with the water bladders filled ... MoreWhen I initially purchased the bowl (along with the palisades pack) it was for my dog, Turk, to use during our AT thru-hike.

The small size doesn’t seem to create any type of hindrance.Turk was ready to go for a walk so I strapped on his new pack with the water bladders filled & his trail runner bowl tucked safely inside his pack.After a couple miles it was time for treats & water—I was able to get to, unfold & fill the bowl incredibly easy. Turk & my smaller dog took turns drinking water before packing up to get moving again. Overall the Trail Runner Bowl is great to have on any trail. Tiny & insanely lightweight, one would never realize they were carrying it. The first few times opening up & closing up could be an issue for someone with big hands/fingers. However it does seem to be easier with each time used—I believe with each use the fabric will become more & more pliable.Turk tested, Turk approved!!Now if only the trails would become accessible!!!
I was a little surprised when I got this bowl. I am however going to give it a try. It was smaller than I expected overall. It does roll into itself and pack very small into your pocket. That being said it is also a bit flimsy. I probably should have looked at the specifications a bit more. The opening also is almost the size of my 35 lbs. dogs' nose...this would not be a good option for larger dogs. We are going to use this weekend and just got so I will update the review and let you know how my dog takes to it.
We have a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and hiking is where he is living his best life! The compactness of this bowl was great but the opening once filled with water is to small for him to comfortably drink. For reference he enjoyed drinking from a medium plastic cup to this bowl.Design would work better with an oblong or almond shaped opening and a inner lining that is more water resistant. The current bowl gets slimy after first use and stays that way for the rest of the hike, we turned it inside out and clipped it to his ruffwear harness (which he LOVES) but it didn’t help with the drying process. Can’t wait to see future options for the larger snooted lovers of ruffwear.
