Best Collapsible Dog Bowls For 2022

For those who prefer a dog hike to a dog walk, this portable dog bowl is fantastic for camping trips and travelling. Made of lightweight and durable silicone, it’s a perfect addition to your survival rucksack for those long adventurous treks with your faithful hound.

A collapsible design means you can easily store away the bowl as a flat disc, as well as quickly set it up, making it the perfect companion for any terrain. You can adjust the size to best suit your dog’s appetite and a handy clip means it can act as both a dog bowl and a water bottle holder for your bag!

And if you are planning a particularly adventurous expedition with your puppy pal, an XL version of the bowl is also available, which increases the total volume of the bowl from 0.5L to 1.2L!

A lot of travel bowl designers seem to forget that your pooch needs to eat as well as drink, and so it’s refreshing to see this collapsible bowl package from H&S which offers two bowls for the price of one!

In stylish blue and pink colours, these bowls are made from a super soft silicone material that’s completely free of BPA, meaning they’re both comfy and safe for your pup.

But more importantly, they have all the features a good travel bowl needs, including a high-quality carabiner clip to secure to belts or bags and a fully collapsible structure to help the bowls fit snugly into pockets and backpacks!

Unfortunately, these bowls only come in a standard size, meaning they are probably only a good option for medium-sized mutt owners.

But at 2-for-1, they’re definitely the best deal on the market!

We’re gonna need a bigger bowl.

For those with chunkier mutts, finding a travel dish for your larger than life canine can be incredibly tricky, as the standard collapsible bowl holds nowhere near enough chowder for the average Chow Chow.

Thankfully though, Beco Travel Bowls are here to save the day and are one of the few companies to have made a collapsible design suitable for bigger boned pups, meaning size finally doesn’t matter!

Perfect for long walks or trips to the park, this large bowl is made from durable and flexible silicone, meaning it can handle your dog’s chewy nature and is also easy to carry thanks to an efficient fold-in structure!

Best of all, it’s dishwasher safe, meaning there’s no tedious scrubbing required!

And if you are a fan of these features but don’t own a massive mutt, you’ll be pleased to know the bowl also comes in two smaller sizes!

You will need food and water for your pup on your Lake District hike but want to keep everything separate so they can have a real sit-down meal.

This set includes not one but TWO bowls, all in one handy collapsible carry case. They are connected to this case which makes them sturdier for when your dog is trying to get the last bit of food out of them.

Since they’re made of silicone, they’re easy to clean with a quick wipe, and once you’re done, simply zip them up and attach them back onto your bag with the handy hook loop.

3 Peaks is renowned for creating products that are designed to withstand the tough outdoors, and this silicone collapsible bowl is ideal for ensuring your dog stays hydrated when exploring nature.

The bowl conveniently folds down to fit in your bag or pocket, and since silicone has anti-bacterial properties and is easy to clean, you can feel assured that your dog will stay protected from any harmful germs.

A carabiner clip makes it simple to hang from backpacks and belts, and of course, it still utilises a collapsible structure for quick storage!

Colapz is a UK company who specialise in high-quality, space-saving camping equipment, and so this travel kit is a great choice for adventurous owners who want to bring their best friend along for the ride.

But strangely, the best thing in this collapsible bowl travel kit is not the actual dishes, but instead the completely innovative bottle that comes with them.

Colapz’s water and food bottle comes with a clever silicone sheath attached to the outside. When folded inside out, this phenomenally becomes a kind of third bowl, allowing you to seamlessly pour the contents of the bottle into a makeshift dispenser for your pup.

This essentially means you never, ever have to stop your journey to rummage around for the actual travel bowls!

However, should your camping trip come to a more definite stop, your collapsible bowls are still on hand, with a 570ml capacity for water or dry food. Made from durable, built-to-last silicone, they are FDA approved and so perfectly safe for your furry friend!

You won’t find a cleverer piece of kit for your canine!

If being lightweight and easily stuffed into the tightest crevice of a rucksack are your priorities when it comes to a portable dog bowl, you may want to consider a fabric option.

This fabric bowl from Ruffwear boasts the best the material and is suitable for both food and water.

It will hold up to 1L of water, which is plenty for them to get refreshed after a long walk or when you are out for a picnic or in a pub garden. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry when you feel it is getting a bit smelly and dirty.

You can use it with the Ruffwear Trail Runner System (also including a hip belt, water bottle and lead) or as a standalone product.

Old school dog owners will be well aware that there is no better bowl for your pup than a simple stainless steel option, and so the lack of trusty travel versions out there can be really frustrating.

Naturally, this is because metal isn’t famed for its portability, however, there are some handy nesting/stacking options available if steel really is the best choice for you and your pup.

One such product is YOUTHINK’s Pet Bento Bowls, which are fashioned from the food-grade stainless steel you love, and allow you to nest up to 4 dishes into an efficient travel tin.

Designed to be able to freshly store all the various items your pet needs on their expedition, the first layer comes with a rubber seal to make it watertight, meaning your pup has access to clean water, anytime, anywhere! The lower layers can then be used for food and treats, or even items such as toys, leads and collars if you so wish!

These bowls then cleverly lock together to create a collection of doggy essentials, all tightly compacted into one, cylindrical carrier! This can be stored in a backpack or simply carried in hand thanks to an ‘invisible’ arched handle.

Although not the smallest and easily-packed, it’s 304 high-quality stainless steel, ensures it’s the most durable and easy-clean option available!

Able to hold one litre of water, which should keep even the most active of thirsty pups refreshed, this bowl can hold both food and water so is great if you want to limit how much you’re carrying.

It is really light, and if you are using water but then stop for a lunch break, it dries nice and quickly. As it is collapsible, it will slot nicely into rucksacks and bags and can be cleaned easily too.

Nice and deep, this bowl is made from premium silicone (in the form of a canvas bag) and folds out to be able to hold around half a litre of water.

When finished with, it will fold down into a flat disc, and is super lightweight for easy carrying. There is a little loop tag on the side, so you can even clip it to something such as your dog’s harness or a belt carabiner clip if you are going for a bag-free run.

Dishwasher safe, it is also simple to wash when you get home, so you can keep it nice and hygienic. Good for food and water.
