Background
All
dog owners want peace of mind for the well being of
their pet both at home and when travelling. Providing
a secure, convenient water supply is of primary concern.
A bowl which doesn't tip over and doesn't spill, even
if it is traveling in a vehicle - seems impossible.
Not for Mark McPherson - inventor of the Cruiser Bowl.
The
Cruiser Bowl is already being used by professional dog
breeders in North Queensland. Additionally it is the
water bowl of choice for the Australian Army Canine
Unit, Australian Federal Police, Qld Police Dog Squad
and Qld Corrective Services Unit.

Description.
The
ingenious, patented design of the Cruiser Bowl provides
a secure and non spill water supply for dogs and cats.
The concept is simple but brilliant. The water (approx
2.5 litres) is stored within the vacuum of side walls
of the bowl, maintaining a consistant small depth of
water (approx 20mm high) accessible for the animal to
drink via the central drinking funnel.
The
bowl can go from 'back yard' to the car and you can
have confidence that it will not spill.
The
water stored in the bowl provides substantial weight.
This inhibits the bowl froom being upturned by robust
dogs and puppies. Even if the bowl is tipped over, the
unique design of the bowl ensures that spillage is limited
and water is retained within the vacuum of the bowl
for the animal.
The
design of the bowl discourages the animal from playing
with the water.
An
added bonus of the bowl for those in show situations
is that the design also prevents long ears of particular
dogs from coming in contact with the water while having
a drink.
The
water being stored inside the vacuum of the bowl also
ensures that the water remains cleaner than if it were
exposed as with traditional water bowls.
With
the water being held in the vacuum of the side walls
means it also inhibits mosquito breeding.
The
bowl is made from food grade UV resistant plastic for
product longevity and is able to be separated.
