Quick Answer
The Patrol Zee.Bowl is an adjustable elevated dog bowl that works well for on-the-go hydration. Follow these steps to set it up, fill it, and carry it without spills.
Why the Patrol Zee.Bowl Works for Travel
The Patrol Zee.Bowl is designed to improve your dog's posture while eating or drinking, but its adjustable height and removable inner bowl make it practical for outdoor use. The inner bowl is dishwasher safe (top rack) and microwave safe, so you can warm food or water before heading out.
Because the bowl is elevated, it reduces neck strain for your dog during quick hydration breaks. The adjustable legs let you set the height to match your dog's size, making it suitable for both small and large breeds.
How to Use the Patrol Zee.Bowl for On-the-Go Hydration
- Adjust the Bowl Height: Extend or retract the legs of the Patrol Zee.Bowl so the rim is at your dog's chest level. This encourages a natural drinking posture and reduces strain on the neck. Common mistake: Setting the bowl too low forces your dog to bend down, which can cause discomfort after repeated use. Adjust before filling.
- Fill the Inner Bowl with Water: Remove the inner bowl and fill it with fresh, clean water. For cold weather, you can microwave the water for 30 seconds (bowl is microwave safe) to take the chill off, but avoid boiling. Checkpoint: Do not overfill — leave about half an inch from the rim to prevent sloshing during transport.
- Secure the Inner Bowl in the Frame: Place the filled inner bowl back into the adjustable frame until it clicks or sits flush. Ensure it is stable before moving. Common mistake: Forgetting to seat the bowl fully can cause it to tip when your dog drinks. Give it a gentle wiggle to confirm it's locked.
- Carry the Bowl to Your Destination: Hold the bowl by the frame's base or use a carabiner (not included) to attach it to your bag if the frame has a loop. Walk carefully to avoid spilling. Checkpoint: If you are hiking, consider carrying the bowl empty and filling it at a water source to reduce weight and spill risk.
- Offer Water to Your Dog: Place the bowl on a flat, stable surface. Let your dog drink at their own pace. The elevated design helps them swallow comfortably. Common mistake: Placing the bowl on uneven ground may cause it to wobble. Look for a level spot or hold the frame steady with your foot.
- Clean After Use: Rinse the inner bowl with water after each use. For thorough cleaning, place it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth. Checkpoint: Do not put the outer frame in the dishwasher — only the inner bowl is dishwasher safe. Hand wash the frame to avoid damage.
