Terrific product,... convienient and versatile.
But, the fold-out drinking vessel will readily break if dropped unto a hard surface, even from a short height. And, it cannot be repaired.
I've contacted the manufactor, New Angle Pet Products, and got no response.
They should offer replacement vessels, and redesign with a hard rubber material that will take impact,... we are talking dogs here!

The hard plastic container just isn't durable enough for what it does, one excited jump from my terrier caused me to drop it and voila, a nice crack and a product headed for the recycle bin. As another reviewer stated a rubberized container would hold up better after falling on the concrete. And am I the only person who is outraged at a $9.27 shipping charge on a $7.22 item? Yes, an all in one is handy and compact BUT Walmart sells sleeves for water bottles (about $2.00 each) in their sporting goods department which have clips on them, making it easy to attach them to a belt loop and my collapsible waterproof food/water bowl folds small enough to fit in a pocket or backpack. You can buy the bowls on amazon for $2.00 and up or at a local pet shop. The beauty here is when your water bottle is empty you can dispose of it and just slide another one in the sleeve. Since I have 4 dogs this was a more practical fit and one I am sure will not break when it hits the pavement.
Poor execution of a great idea September 26, 2008

This was given to us as a gift and it is conceptually a great product. BUT I have dropped one of them twice and it is now beyond repair and headed for the recycle bin.
The bottle doesn't stand up when you set it on a flat surface because the trough is rounded on the end. The belt clip is useless, which is why it dropped on the floor the second time for its final break. (the first time was just my own clumsiness) The plastic of the trough is SO weak, it broke after a drop onto a wood floor from waist-height.
I agree - rubberized plastic, or the stuff nalgenes are made of would be the answer to the breaking issue. From now on, I'll just make sure I have a Porta-Bowl clipped to a Nalgene - it holds a lot more anyway.
