"The Dakota 283 Dine N Dash 2.5 Feeding and Watering System is an excellent way to keep your pet's food and water supply mobile! Originally designed for hunters, this portable food and water dish holds up to 2.5 gal. of water and half a gal. (about 8 cups) of dry food. The Dine N Dash is designed with a large 8"" twist lid that seals in dry or wet food. The rest of the unit is hollow, holding up to 2.5 gal. of water. To use the water bowl, lift the handle end and remove the rubber plug, and store on the bottom of the unit. Once on the ground, water will continuously backfill to ensure your dog doesn't run out. When it's time to go, tilt the unit up to return leftover water inside the carrier and push the plug back in place. It's great for trips to the woods, fields, vacation, or even just as a regular food and water station at home. The Dine N Dash is designed with the same process as military cargo cases and industrial tanks, so it is tough. Toss it in the back of the truck without care it will crack or break. Its plastic construction is not only durable but safe and BPA-free. The Dine N Dash is the ultimate mobile pet bistro.
