Our beloved monsters, Khan and Apollo, recently got the opportunity to test out the Seattle Sports Treat-N-Toyz GoBowl. While it was hard and grueling work, they took the GoBowl on several hikes, to the beach, and to flyball practice to put it through its paces.
Seattle Sports Treat-N-Toyz GoBowl combines a water bowl, food bowl, and flexible flying disc into a single, easy to transport package. The disc and food bowl nest within the larger water bowl, which then zips closed to keep all of your essential gear together. There’s a convenient carrying loop on the outside, so you can use a carabiner to clip it on to your pack for easy access.
As avid day hikers, we got the most use out of the water bowl. We liked that the soft material was lightweight and pliable, meaning we could easily roll it or squish it up to cram into our daypacks and it suffered no adverse effects. The zipper was extremely rugged with wide teeth, so even after getting dirty and sandy from our adventuring, it was still easy to open and close. The top is also removable, so if you prefer you can just leave it at home. We liked having it though because once the dog was done drinking and we emptied out the excess water, closing the top meant no remaining drops leaked into our packs and got over our other stuff. Khan and Apollo liked that the bowl was both wide and sturdy which made it easy for them to drink from.
The food bowl is made of the same flexible, lightweight material, and would be perfect if you take your dog camping or backpacking with you since it doesn’t weigh much and can pack down small.
If you and your dog participate in dog sports like flyball or agility, the water bowl and food bowl combo would be great for long trial days when you’re not going to be home in time for dinner. Just throw your dog’s kibble into a resealable bag, place it and the food bowl into the water bowl and zip it all together for a convenient and portable dinner anywhere.
And of course we gave the flexible flying disc a go! We liked that it’s made of soft material rather than hard plastic since it’s easier on the dog’s teeth. Both Khan and Apollo had a great time at the park and Fiesta Island playing with the disc.
After a long day of hiking and playing, we were happy to find that all of the parts were easy to clean. By the time we got home, the bowls and disc were full of dirt, sand, and dog slobber. A little hot, soapy water and a quick wipe with the sponge took care of the mess, and after drying overnight, everything was ready for another outing in the morning.
Overall we really liked the Treat-N-Toyz GoBowl. We found it to be both convenient and durable in a variety of situations and look forward to using it on many adventures to come. No matter what kind of outdoor activities you and your canine companions do, Seattle Sports Treat-N-Toyz GoBowl will be a useful addition to your gear.
