We take our dog with us camping and hiking. One of the things that has challenged us for some time is how to keep our dog hydrated while we hike. Up to this point we keep a bowl, and take him a bottle of water. We make sure that we make stops along the way so that he can take a drink or two.

I recently found a backpack for $20, at the local K mart. This bag will allow us to keep our water and the dog’s water in the same container since it can hold two quarts of water. Then all I need to do is make sure that I carry a bowl for him so that he can drink at ease when we stop.
