As a BibRave Pro, I get to test out the most innovative and fun running gear. Sometimes the gear goes to the dogs, but in a GOOD way! Every once in a while we are given the opportunity to test out a product for our furry best friends and when that happens, you know I opt-in. Recently the BibRave Pro’s were given the chance to test out the Nano Bowl, a portable dog water bowl made by Stunt Puppy. Wally and I are always out exploring our neighborhood and he doesn’t have his very own water bowl. Yes, Wally and I both jumped up and down when we found out we were lucky enough to test the bowl. I’ll go over what makes this bowl better than others and specs and two different ways you can carry it with you while out and about with your pup.

What Makes the Nano Bowl Better

There are plenty of portable dog products on the market so why go with the Nano Bowl? This thought honestly came to my mind. At first glance the Nano Bowl appears to be similar to others in that it’s portable, but the comparisons stop there. The Nano Bowl is a quality product. It’s made by Stunt Puppy and I know their products hold up well because I recently tested out their Stunt Runner leash and I was ecstatic over how well made it was. Here are my favorite features:

  • It’s made with Nanopore Waterproof Membrane material. It’s patent-pending and is super durable.

  • 1 ounce is all it weighs! This is a big deal because that means I can carry more things with me like toys and treats and not feel weighed down.

  • The double layering is super durable. This is what sets apart the Nano Bowl from the others. In the past, I purchased cheap-o portable dog water bowls and they only lasted about a week. The plastic dried out and ripped in days.

  • The membrane material is FDA-certified non-toxic and chemical free. My dog is like my first born. I get all of you dog dads and dog moms, you want the best for your dog and it’s great that this product is certified safe from them to eat and drink out of.

  • The 5” opening is wide enough to accommodate my Wally dogs large mouth.

  • Other good things to note about the Nano Bowl is that it holds 28 ounces of water, has American-made fabric and construction, you can hand or machine wash it and you can attach it to your leash with the elastic bungee cord.

Two Quick Ways to Attach the Nano Bowl to a Leash

One of my favorite features of the Nano Bowl is how it can attach to a leash. I discovered that it could be done two ways. Option #1 can look a little sloppy on leash, but you never have to unattach from your dog if you are using the the hands-free Stunt Runner leash. Option #2 looks very neat on leash, but you have to unattach from your dog if you are using the hands-free Stunt Runner leash.

Option 1: No need to unattach from pup, but end result isn’t pretty

Step 1Step 1

Step 1

Flatten out the Nano Bowl so it resembles a little paper boat.

Step 2Step 2

Step 2

Take the bungee cord and wrap it under your leash.

Step 3Step 3

Step 3

Pull the Nano Bowl through the opening of the bungee cord.

Step 4Step 4

Step 4

It’s kinda tight to pull through, flatten or fold the Nano Bowl as needed.

Step 5Step 5

Step 5

Now your Nano Bowl is attached to your leash. It won’t come off unless you unclick your Stunt Runner leash. You can leave it like this, but it will be kinda floppy. I recommend going to Step 6.

Step 6Step 6

Step 6

Flatten out the Nano Bowl and fold up like a handkerchief and tuck under your Stunt Runner leash. You successfully attached the Nano Bowl to your leash and you never had to unclick from your dog. Hooray for being safe!

Step 1Step 1

Step 1

Flatten out the Nano Bowl so it resembles a little paper boat.

Step 2Step 2

Step 2

Unclip from your dog if you are wearing the Stunt Runner. Make sure you have a firm grip on the leash. If using a handheld leash, continue to keep a firm grip on the leash. Drape leash over flattened Nano Bowl.

Step 3Step 3

Step 3

Wrap Nano Bowl around the leash. Insert leash into the bungee cord opening.

Step 4Step 4

Step 4

Slide bungee cord around the Nano Bowl so it wraps around it and holds it in place.

Step 5Step 5

Step 5

Adjust as needed so the folded part of the Nano Bowl hugs your body. This helps it stay in the folded position.

Step 6Step 6

Step 6

Clip yourself back to your dog if wearing the Stunt Runner leash. You are good to go!
