Ahhhh! We’re so excited to share today’s post! As you might recall, the kind folks over at Dexas sent us several items from their Popware for Pets line to review on the blog. We happily sung the praises of the Collapsible Feeder and the Travel Cup and they quickly scored a coveted spot on our packing list. Space will be limited when we travel, so every item we pack must be essential. Trust us when we say the Travel Cup is an absolute must-have product for doggers on the go. We take one with us every time we go to the park or head out to one of our favorite dog friendly dining establishments.
So, you might be wondering why in the world we’re talking about this product again…
We are very happy to announce that two readers will receive the Travel Cup, in their choice of color (turquoise or pink) and size (8 or 16 ounces), compliments of Dexas! We love being able to share goodies with our blog friends and know the two winners will enjoy the Travel Cup as much as we do. 😀

We hope you all had a fantastic weekend. We powered through some very productive planning sessions and have all of our hotels booked through San Diego! Woot woot!
We’re in full-on hotel reservation mode and recently tweeted our excitement of a recent booking:

FireSky is a Kimpton hotel and they are known for their fabulous pet friendly policy. We’re especially excited because we snagged a terrific deal for a 2-night stay. We highly recommend signing up for their In Touch rewards program and opt-in for the deal-saving emails!

Good morning guys….hope you were able to get a contract out on your house this weekend!
Thank you for showing us Popware! We browsed their site and found our favorite item and also listed as coming soon….the Single elevated bowl. These are great because we wouldn’t have to bend down to the ground to eat. We also like the double elevated bowl in the same colors with matching mat. Of course Minnie loves pink and brown and Mack loves turquoise and brown.So stylish. You know Mack is considered a “senior” doggie since he is over 8 yrs and bending over can became painful.
Since our humans don’t travel with us, we would probably use the collapsible bowl at the dog park or hiking. Maybe when they retire we’ll be able to travel with them more!
Drools and licks,
Minnie and Mack
Angel @ Life with LuLu & Wally, too

Ooh, cool! We could definitely use the travel cup on our Sunday morning walks with our training group! 🙂
Anna
May 23, 2011
so I think we need to break down and buy one of these… unless we win one 😉 It would come in very handy when we rollerblade, bike, hike, or hunt train in the field. I use a collapsable cloth bowl right now but it doesn’t open far for her to drink out of cuz it’s cloth and wants to stay folded.
And I love the new product coming out that is a bowl with a bottle holder… that would knock out 2 birds with one stone.
Sounds like a productive weekend for you, hopefully it was on the house end too.

Very cool products! Kirby and I think the travel cup with bottle holder is awesome. That is something that would come in handy for Kirby when we walk the parks!

Ooh, this is pretty handy. Chester and Roscoe would love to use this on our nightly walks. We usually walk around a mile or so. They are beat by the time we get home! 🙂
Elyse and Riley
May 23, 2011
I was considering buying something similar to this for the trip I’m going to take Riley on in September (inspired by you!!). It would be awesome to win one! I already found our hotel (a Sheraton) and already have Riley’s seat belt for in the car. Now if September would just hurry up and get here!! 🙂

Okay, I hope I’m doing this right–leaving 2 comments and all…but, for the bonus entry… I love the new Travel Cup with Bottle Holder and I love the fact that these have caribiners on them for easy carrying!
Winnie and Andy
May 23, 2011
We take our humans traveling all the time: to Grandma’s farm, to Grammy and Grampy’s, to Uncle Matt’s, to Uncle Dave and Auntie Renee’s, Mom’s school, you get the picture. We love the question, “Hey guys wanna go?” We also love our Sunday afternoon outings at the Sunset Dog Park. We think it is great fun to romp in the park and play ball. Winnie loves to find a mud puddle to roll in. Anyway, our humans had to go buy us a cup of ice and bottle of water yesterday because we played so hard at the dog park. We’d love our very own travel bowl! Thanks for thinking of all of us doggers!
For the bonus entry, we’re sure hopping our humans buy us the travel cup with bottle holder. Winnie votes for pink, and Andy votes for the blue.

I think Asher and I would take ours with us when we go visit family. Which we do quiet often since we all live within 3 hours of each other!
shelbylclarke
May 23, 2011
Ok so the new water bottle bowl holder maybe the COOLEST thing ever. This would be GREAT for walks in the Texas Summer Heat! I also LOVE the Single elevated bowl! Asher usually only needs a bowl for food anyhow! Especially when we visit family!

May 23, 2011
How adorable! I love the blue color….kinda like a Tiffany box….my name is Tiffany, just sayin’ 🙂
I would use these while road tripping with Lincoln. He gets so hot in the car and whenever we stop at a rest stop its so difficult for him to get hydrated since I have his normal clunky bowl with us. He is a dog on the go and in much need of this!

May 23, 2011
We don’t qualify for the giveaway, but can still recognise a good product when we see it. We go camping a lot in the summer, and it’s not always practical to carry a dish or tub for the dog’s water. That cup looks ideal for this kind of situation…Maybe we can find that product here, in the UK?
raisingdaisy
May 23, 2011
How exciting that you’re into the hotel booking stage of your plans! Wow, time is really flying!
Daisy would love the pink travel cup, of course. Now that she’s a year old, we’re planning many more dog-friendly trips – some day trips, some weekend trips, so the travel cup would come in very handy, especially on those hot summer days. We’ll also be visiting out-of-state family this year and we’ll be bringing Daisy with us, so we could really use the travel cup for those trips too.
Thanks for another fun giveaway! 😀

I just checked out the Dexas “coming soon” product line – I love the single collapsible bowl and the travel cup with bottle holder. Great ideas and great colors too!
Tanner & Beth
May 23, 2011
(wag, wag, wag!!!) We are so excited too!!! Boy does that cup that has the hook and the bottle holder look pawsome!!! I would love to get my hands on one of those!! That way, when we are at pow-wow’s and softball games, Mommy will be able to keep my cup and water all together.
I really like the turquoise cup too, by the way.
Thanks for having the give-away and thanks Dexas, too!!
Puppy Kisses,

So cool! We hike all summer long, and this bowl would be so much better than the ratty old tupperware we currently stuff in Emmett’s backpack! And I’m loving the cup with bottle holder from their new line. The colors are so fun!
Mary
May 23, 2011
As much as we travel, this would be great. I always need a way to carry water for the dogs. These look easy to carry and handy. I would love the 16oz in Turquoise.
Mary
May 23, 2011
As a bonus, I like the bowl that attaches to the water bottle. That we could really use. Fun new colors too.

Hi there Lori and Gus,
Wow, that’s a cool prize (I think I’d have to opt for the blue version if I won – tee hee). I’d take it on our camping trip to Mammoth that I’m going on in the Summer 🙂
You’re right, the collapsible bowl also looks great over on their website, would be more fun than my silver one 🙂
Have a great day,
Snoopy 🙂

We would love to win one of the smsll travel cups. We would use it for much needed water breaks out on the trail of course!
I really liked the look of the double pet feeder you featured before but I think I like the idea of the new single feeder bettter because then all I need to get is three bowls – one each for Chester and Gretel’s food and one water they share.

Popware is such a brilliant invention especially when you’re traveling and the new colors and elevated bowl are SO nice! I think having these might even spur me on to take the kitties traveling…not sure they’d like it, damn it!

The planing stage of the trip can be a lot of fun. The humans are big Kimpton fans. I love them too they know how to treat a pup right. Now that my trek is done, I think one of those really cool Dexas bowls would fit prefecty in my beach bag.
Marla Cummings

It would be a great bowl to take out training. Sometimes we have to trudge a bit to get just the right spot and lug bumpers, bottles of water and a bowl!
Your new adventure will be here before you know it. Sounds like a nice choice for AZ.
Mandy
May 23, 2011
Our dog Wall-E could use the blue 16oz for his trips on our boat. I also like the new bowl with the bottle holder that was on the coming soon page.

I’d love to have a travel cup for Oscar for our adventures in the park. I’m sure Oscar will appreciate lapping up water from such a fancy item!
I’m a sucker multiple color choices and I’m really excited about the introduction of green. Green is Oscar’s favorite color. How do I know this? His favorite squeaky turtle is green; his favorite blanket is green; his pet bed is green and his favorite ball is green! 😀

Thanks for the reminder that we need to get a collapsible travel cup ASAP! We’ve been carrying around a plastic container with a lid, which not only lacks in the style department but is also a hassle to tote.

i’m jealous of all the americans who read your blog! a few hours over the border, and I’m out of the game 😦 Oh well, I’ve already got a dexas bowl anyways, and despite not being free, it’s great and so useful 🙂 I can definitely see why you’re including these in your limited packing list

Wah! I want a pop-up bowl! I WANT ONE! I’m calling the U.N. Human Rights Commission to complain about discriminatory blog practices! 😦
I would use ’em on picnics… but it doesn’t matter ’cause I live outside the US! 😦
Kas
May 24, 2011
Oh very cool! We would use this anywhere and everywhere — the park, hiking, while we’re on the canoe, at dog sport competitions, etc!

We would definitely use it on our trip to North Carolina in a few weeks! And we’d get plenty of use out of it driving the 6 hrs to our parents’ houses! 🙂

First off, those Flickr photos of Gus asleep on the back seat are precious. I wish Scout would be like that in the car! And secondly, we would use one of those fab travel cups when we take Scout to the dog park or on long road trips like we just did. The turquoise one is pretty!

Those bowls look great and would be useful for whenever we are on the go. Whether it be bringing it to the dog park, out hiking, long car rides, outdoor dining, or agility practice. They look convenient for everywhere!
As far as the new products, I really like the looks of the travel cup with the bottle holder. The single raised bowl as well since Bailey eats and drinks out of raised feeders (it has helped so much with him throwing up right after eating and drinking). We always have to move his feeder into the bedroom at night (he prefers to drink 90% of his daily intake of water at night for some reason) so with the single feeder we could leave it in the bedroom on its own for his nighttime water. We are constantly on the lookout for single feeders, however I never see them, only double.

I’d actually give it to my Mom – She takes her crazy pup Rowdy out for long walks several times a week, and he runs & runs & runs! This would be really convenient for her!

I liked everything>. tops being the suction lids in “pink” >>> love the greens that are coming and that single bowl is more than wonderful.

Oh, this is really cute! There are a few parks and hiking trails we go to that don’t have doggy water readily available. We’d love to have something like this on hand for those parks.
I’ve also had to do a cross-country move with one dog and three adults crammed into a Toyota Camry. Needless to say, space was at a premium! So I can understand why collapsability would be a great plus.

This is awesome I was hiking the other day and saw someone take this off their belt to water their dog. I had to stop and ask them where they got it and they told me it was the Popware for pets. I was blown away, what a great idea!
According to Gus
October 29, 2013
It is great…and sturdy! We’ve been consistently using our bowls for the past two+ years and they’re still going strong!
