Are you looking for a food or water bowl for your pet’s upcoming flight? Ensuring your pet’s comfort and safety during air travel is crucial, especially for dogs and cats traveling as manifest air cargo. These journeys can often be lengthy, sometimes exceeding 24 hours. In hot weather conditions, proper hydration and access to water can become life-critical.
Finding the right water bowl for a travel crate can be challenging. As experienced pet shipping experts, we have found that many pet water bowls on the market, including those provided by crate manufacturers, are prone to spilling, tipping over easily, or taking up too much valuable space within the crate.
Introducing the Capybowl
We are excited to announce that Capybowl, our Capybaro branded pet crate bowl, is now available on Amazon. This innovative bowl is designed with both pets and their owners in mind, offering a range of features that make it the best choice for small dogs and cats.
Main Features:
- Flat Back Profile: The bowl’s flat back allows it to sit close to the crate door, preventing tampering with the attachment mechanism and saving space inside the crate.
- Strong Built-In Clips: Our bowl features robust clips that eliminate the need for extra parts to secure it. Despite their small size, these clips are incredibly strong and have never been broken by pets. The flat profile and clip position also make it impossible for pets to bite or dislodge the bowl.
- Additional Security: The clip design allows for further securing with cable ties, though this is rarely needed.
- Wide Open Mouth: Suitable for snub-nosed pets, the wide mouth ensures easy access to water without the need for a deep bowl.
- Safe Design: The rounded inside-facing side of the bowl ensures safety from accidental bumps, deliberate tussles, and chewing. While we can’t stop your pet from chewing, we can ensure it’s safe to do so.
We recommend the Capybowl for dogs weighing less than 45 pounds or for use in kennels smaller than 40″x27″x30″. This bowl is designed to provide a secure, comfortable, and efficient solution for pet travel, ensuring your furry friend stays hydrated and happy throughout the journey.
Why are traditional pet travel crate bowls insufficient?
Many existing pet crate bowls suffer from several critical issues that make them unsuitable for safe and comfortable pet travel:
- Insecure Attachment: The securing mechanisms, such as clips, pins, or bolts, are frequently fragile and prone to breaking under pressure, making it difficult to securely attach the bowls to the crate. Some bowls rely solely on gravity to stay in place, making them easy to dislodge during travel.
- Inadequate Capacity and Accessibility: Many bowls are shallow and have small capacities, limiting the amount of water available to pets during long journeys. Additionally, some designs, such as stainless-steel inserts, require taping down or removal, making them impractical for travel.
- Safety Concerns: Protruding securing pins or sharp edges can pose safety risks to pets, potentially causing injuries or discomfort.
- Durability Issues: Rubber builds can be easily collapsed by pets, leading to water spills, while plastic components are susceptible to breaking, compromising the bowl’s integrity and functionality.
- Inefficient Design: They often protrude too far into the carrier, taking up precious space, or have a large form factor relative to their water capacity, resulting in inefficient use of the limited space inside the crate.
These issues highlight the need for a pet crate bowl that addresses these shortcomings, ensuring a secure, efficient, and safe water source for pets during air travel.
Conclusion
In terms of travel crate accessories, the Capybowl is a game-changer for small dogs and cats. We believe it is the best designed pet travel crate food and water bowl available on the US market in 2024. Try it out! Prime shipping available through Amazon.
