If you’re looking for a way to carry all the accoutrements you need when going out and about with your canine friend easily and attractively—you have to check out the line of bags from Doggy Baggage.  Featured in PetsWeekly's Holiday Showcase in November 2010 newsletter (if you missed it, you can subscribe here), these bags are sturdy, roomy and extremely cute.

The bag that I got my hands on is the large tote in natural and cranberry with the “Paws&Bones” pattern.  I fell in love immediately - at a cost of only $49.95, how could you not love it immediately?  Besides how adorable the bag looks, and how affordable it is, it has plenty of room (and pockets) on the inside (18”W x 12”H x 6”D) to hold food, water, dishes, your own personal items (for those days when it would be easier just to have everything in one bag), as well as any other larger items you might want to bring along.

Have you ever had a dog who thought their water dish was a toy?  No matter what you seemed to try, no matter what bowl you used, no matter how much you Velcroed it to the floor, they still managed to tip it over, spilling the water all over the place.  Maybe you’ve even tried some other “spill-proof” bowl, only to end up with the same results as before—you mopping up water again.

You need to try the Buddy Bowl.  I personally performed extensive testing on the Buddy Bowl to see for myself if the “spill-proof” claims were true.  I shook and dropped it every which way I could think of, and it never spilled more than a tiny splash or broke open.  The splash only happened when I tipped the Buddy Bowl completely upside down in a rapid motion, and I only used half of a paper towel to clean it up—no mopping!
