Watering your Dog in the Field

[Drew Hause]

For quite some time I carried a collapsible cordura pouch thingie, and a water bottle.
Dirk would drink too fast and then puke up the water.
A squirt bottle seemed to work much better and I don't recall him ever aspirating.
Note snake boots, handgun and foot on the check cord



He was pretty enthusiastic about the water bottle

I do something similar to Garry. But I straddle my setter from behind, put a bottle with a nozzle (like Portland spring water) into the pouch on the side of her mouth and while holding her head level gently squirt it in there until while she gulps. If I use a collapsible bowl it is a PIA to get level, it collapses, she steps on or I do and the water is gone. If I just let it drizzle out she looks at it like an idiot. I may try the hat thing Dean, I wonder how well my hat will hold water.

I have bicycle bottles - and dispense it on the side at the back of the mouth. I noticed early on that giving the water straight in from the front caused occasional choking
