Gear: When it's time to pack for your dog, here's help

Packing up for your dog is a whole lot more convenient with the Pet King Portable Pet Bowl set, two sturdy plastic dog bowls joined by a hinge, with snap-on plastic lids.

When not in use for food and water, the bowls fold back to back, and the plastic handles at the end of each bowl snap together to form a double carrying handle.

The plastic lids hold solid food in, but are not quite watertight enough to keep liquids from leaking.

The Pet King comes with a zippered nylon bag with shoulder strap and is available in two sizes. Standard size bowls ($13.95) hold about 32 ounces each; junior size bowls ($9.95) hold about 10 ounces each, and also work for cats.
