The Best Collapsible Dog Bowls in 2022

Made from BPA-free silicone, this large collapsible dog bowl from Bonza is a versatile companion when you and your dog take some time away from home. The design is excellent; it folds flat when not in use and gives you a choice of two depths as you expand it. Super-lightweight, this bowl is ideal for road trips or days out hiking as it clips to your belt or rucksack when not being used. You get a stainless steel carabiner as well as a bone-shaped tag to attach a water bottle for instant supplies. The whole bowl extends neatly and keeps its shape as your pooch enjoys their food. Plus, as it’s available in two large sizes, the bowl’s diameter is enough to accommodate even larger muzzles and the bottom is non-slip, so should hold its ground as your pet chows down. This is a durable and effective collapsible bowl at a great price, and deservedly scoops our Best Choice.

Our Best value pick is this durable and expandable dish, perfect for hooking onto your bag or belt for day trips or walks. While it’s not the largest bowl in our review, it is well made and can hold around 12 fluid ounces or 1 ½ cups of dog food. Made from BPA-free silicone, unfolded it looks like a flat disc which can then expand to two levels (half and full) depending on how much you need to give to your canine. The bowl is also non-slip and stays securely in place to give your pooch good muzzle access as they eat or drink. Complete with a color-match carabiner, the bowl is also easy to stow when not in use. For its price-tag, this is a well-made dog bowl that’s surprisingly tough as well as easy to clean, giving you lots of use for your money. 

Why have one when you can have two with this double foldable dog bowl from Winsee. The design of this travel bowl works a treat and means you can feed two pups at once or give your dog access to food and water at the same time. Made from food-grade silicone that is BPA free, the design has two bowls joined by a no-slip silicone mat for total convenience. But the trump card with the Winsee double bowl is that when stowed flat, they fold onto each other to create a durable toy frisbee your pooch can play with! The double bowl set is 19.5 inches wide when folded out and each bowl can be set at three different heights, holding 35 oz or 4.5 cups of food or water at full size. And when your dog is done, and you’re both back on your travels, simply collapse the bowl set and clip on to your backpack or beltloop with the supplied carabiner. 

If durability and stability is a concern, then the Prima Pets collapsible dog bowl has the answer, thanks to the hard outer BPA-free plastic ring that keeps everything where it should be. Folded down, this portable pet bowl measures 5 inches wide and is neat enough to clip onto your belt loop or pet lead. Made from non-porous silicone, the body of the bowl expands to make a lightweight food bowl holding up to 1 ½ cups of kibble or water – enough for a snack or drink on the go. A larger size version is also available. The bowl base is sturdy, providing extra no-tip security if your pup is a bit of a food wolfer. With its quick release stainless steel carabiner and available in a choice of four cute colors, this is a practical everyday portable dog bowl, that can be popped into the dishwasher too. 

If you and your pooch love the outdoor and camping life, then check out this rugged fabric dog bowl from Awakelion. Ideal for larger dogs, you get a 5-liter capacity food bag (around 25 cups) with a dry bag style closure to keep the kibble fresh as well as two well-sized collapsible feeding bowls.

Made from dog-safe 900 denier oxford cloth with a waterproof lining, the whole set is both lightweight and durable, making it easy to pack with the rest of your camping kit. When it comes to your pooch’s feeding time, simply open out the fabric bowls and set on the ground. The opening of each collapsible bowl is nice and wide; big enough to fit the muzzle of a medium to larger sized mutt. And, the waterproof lining means the bowl can also double up as a drinking container. Once finished, simply rinse out the bowls and allow to dry before folding down flat and stowing away.

Cover two needs in one with this smart dual water bottle and collapsible bowl set, that will neatly hook onto your bag or backpack, ready to be used. The water bottle has two inner chambers holding 10 ounces of water and 7 ounces of food so enough for a quick meal for your dog. And the lid is leak proof and sealed with silicone to keep everything safe. Attached to the water bottle via sturdy carabiners are two collapsible 12-ounce capacity dog bowls, made from pet-safe silicone that is both lightweight and durable. The capacity of this bowl and water bottle combo is on the smaller side so perhaps not suitable for larger dogs but for small to medium pets, this is a good way to feed and hydrate them when out in the car or on a longer walk.

The BarkBowl is one tough cookie, making it the ideal collapsible bowl for walking, hiking and camping adventures with your dog. Made from pet-safe ‘platinum-cured’ silicone which is tear resistant as well as freezer and microwave safe, this food and water bowl can also withstand temperatures ranging from 450F to -80F. And it keeps its shape, whether closed or fully expanded, holding up to 27 ounces. The BarkBowl comes with four expandable size options, from flat, for wet dog food, narrow for a small meal, wide for water or a larger meal. And then there is the full tall size which can hold a full camping meal for a human, should you be caught short without a food bowl of your own! When stowed, the BarkBowl is nice and flat with a manageable diameter that can be securely stowed on your belt loop or rucksack with the supplied aircraft-grade aluminum carabiner. 

This two-bowl set form Sunny Beginnings is perfect for having in the back of the car or in your backpack for when your pooch needs a hydrating drink or snack. They are not the largest in our review – holding around four cups of water – but are certainly big enough to satisfy a medium sized dog.  Made from durable and waterproof nylon and double-layered for stability and strength, they have been folded and stitched to stand securely on the ground when filled with water or dog food. There is also a handy clip for a secure attachment as you walk or travel, although it is made from plastic rather than metal but that shouldn’t really be a deal-breaker. What we really like about these collapsible fabric dog bowls is how they fold in on themselves to form a flat pouch that sits neatly as you carry it along. For the price these are top portable dog bowls to have with you in case needed, without adding any bulk or weight to your walk with your pooch. 

Bright and colorful, you’ll never lose these collapsible dog bowls from Mr. Peanuts amongst your belongings or packing! As a fuss-free way to feed your dog when out and about, you can’t really go wrong with these silicone beauties and as they come in a four-bowl pack, they will always be to hand. The silicone is a good quality and is both lightweight and dishwasher safe although the bowls do get a little thinner in the folds.  

Ideal for small to medium dogs, each bowl is 5 inches in diameter at the top and can be half or fully expanded, depending on the amount of food or water you need to give. At full expansion, these Mr. Peanut’s bowls have a capacity of 1 ½ cups so are ideal for attaching to your bag or belt when taking a longer walk or enjoying a camping trip with your pooch. And, with the accompanying metal carabiner in a matching bright color, you will certainly be seen!

Our final review product are these straightforward fabric collapsible bowls from Forever Friends, which come in a good value two-bowl pack.  These are quite sizeable bowls which can easily accommodate the muzzle of a medium to larger dog and are not too deep, so the required stability is there when they eat or drink. The fabric is tough nylon that has a waterproof liner and a double-edged seam around the top for added rigidity when fully open. The liner holds up ok, although leave water in it too long and it will start to seep, so it’s best to use these as a drinking bowls on the go. But the fabric is tough and can take some chewing and rough play if your pooch gets excited about their mealtime. And when done, each easy to clean bowl folds down to a small size, which can be looped onto your dog’s lead, thanks to the supplied small plastic hook.
