We recently made the exciting move to bring our pup, Hoolie, down to Costa Rica with us for the spring (which is more like summer). In preparation, we were thinking about those long walks on the beach at sunset and how to keep our man hydrated so that he’s not keen on drinking salt water (been there, done that, it’s not pretty). So, we reached out to Bübi brands, The Bübi Dog bowl is as compact as it gets. And we’re delighted when they agreed to send us a couple of samples of their products to test and review.

About the Bubi Brand

The Bübi brand set out to create a new water bottle that’s convenient to use and easy to store. Their CEO and Founder, Craig Madaus, says: “What began as a sailing adventure in rough seas became a survival mission; however, as is calmed down convenient hydration and less plastic in the sea”.  Today, Bübi Brands are sold in many recognized companies. including Google, Yahoo!, and the Girl Scouts.

The Dog Bowl

 

The Bübi Dog bowl (video)is as compact as it gets. When collapsed, it easily fits in your back pocket or the water bottle sleeve of your backpack. It’s durable and flexible enough so that you don’t have to worry about damaging it when stowing it away. It’s the perfect bowl for on-the-go travelers with pets or babies. We hardly notice it’s there until we need it, which goes a long way when you’re carrying a bunch of additional gear for yourself and your pup.

What We Like About Dog Bowl

We are the kind of folks that carry water bottles with us wherever we go. Because we live in Costa Rica at present, it’s essential for us to keep our water cold throughout the day, which is why we go with more substantial, insulated metal water bottles. However, we typically don’t prefer to carry another large bottle with us for our pup. That’s why the Bübi bottle and bowl have been such an excellent addition to our hiking/outdoor gear arsenal.

We fill the bottle at home and slide it into the water bottle pouch of our backpack before heading for the beach.  Once we get there, we have a water source ready for our pup. The combination bottle-bowl eliminates that annoying fiddling through your pack to find where the bowl eventually settled throughout your hike.

We also enjoy how easy it is to clean the Bübi bowl and bottle, as well as the fact that the bottle easily rolls up and stores easily.  Having extra room for any groceries or supplies we decide to pick up on the way home. The bottles can be placed over a fire to boil water or placed in a freezer.

The Water Bottle

The 22-ounce Bübi bottle holds plenty of water for an afternoon adventure to the beach or a morning hike to your local waterfall. The silicone bottle is a natural insulator. This which makes it durable and easily collapsible once it’s empty. The Bübi bottle is also microwave and dishwasher safe. When it needs extensive cleaning, the bottle can be completely turned inside out and either placed in the dishwasher or hand-washed.

Furthermore, the bottle is BPA-free and resistant to both heat and cold. The bottle can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius and down to -100 degrees Celsius. You can boil water over a fire or freeze the entire bottle for a relieving cold compress on an, unusually hot day. The bottle is also shatterproof and meets FDA, Rhol, and Asian safety standards.

The Final Say

Overall, the Bübi bowl and bottle have been excellent additions to our travel gear. Our pup loves drinking from the bowl. We love that we have a separate water source dedicated to him. It is extremely convenient always carry the bowl for the dog before hitting the trail. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. For people who loves adventuring with their dog. And it’s a good solution for carrying water and keeping their pup hydrated on-the-go!
