Our review
A collapsible silicone bowl that clips to a leash or backpack solves the exact problem of forgetting water on a walk, and at 4.7 stars from nearly 5,900 ratings, 81% five-star, SLSON's 2-pack is one of the most reliably loved products in this catalogue. One bowl works well for food, the other for water, and reviewers specifically use them for car trips, hikes, and an upstairs water station for overnight access.
This is the small size — 12oz of water or about 1.5 cups of food — and is explicitly meant for small to medium dogs and cats; SLSON sells a separate large version if you have a bigger breed. Within that size range, reviewers are consistently happy: a shih tzu owner keeps one in the car and one in a hiking backpack, several note the colours are true to the photos and get compliments from other pet owners, and the included carabiner clips attach easily to a collar, harness, leash, or bag.
The material is genuinely thin, which most reviewers read as a fair trade-off for how light and packable it is rather than a flaw, though a small number do report the bowl or the clip itself breaking with use — one reviewer specifically had a clip fail within two days. As with any soft, flexible bowl, treat it as a travel and walk solution rather than a replacement for a sturdy bowl at home.
👍 Pros
- One of the most consistently loved products in this catalogue — 81% five-star from nearly 5,900 ratings
- Genuinely useful 2-pack: one for food, one for water, both pop open instantly
- Carabiner clips attach easily to a collar, harness, leash, or bag
- Cheap enough that losing or replacing one is no big deal
👎 Cons
- Explicitly sized for small to medium pets only — not suitable for large breeds
- Material is genuinely thin — fine for most, but a small minority report the bowl or clip breaking
- 12oz capacity suits a drink on a walk, not a full meal
- Not a substitute for a sturdy bowl at home

FAQ
Will this work for a large dog?
No — this is explicitly the small size; SLSON sells a separate large version for bigger breeds.

Mostly, but the material is thin by design, and a small minority of reviewers report the bowl or clip breaking with heavy use.
How much does it hold?
12oz of water or about 1.5 cups of food — enough for a walk or car trip, not a full meal.
Can I clip it to a leash or backpack?
Yes, it comes with carabiner-style clips designed for exactly that.
