Make A Portable Dog Bowl
It's so quick to make a portable dog bowl, and it doesn't have to cost you a dime! For the Expand-A-Bowl, all you'll need is an empty plastic bag like the kind in the U.S. that holds your groceries. For the Port-A-Bowl, simply wash out an empty plastic margarine or butter container and add a rubber band of the sort to bunch fresh vegetables together.
