What sold me on this collapsible bowl was the fact that it had a lid. I wanted something that I could put my dog's food in while traveling and then collapse to put back in my backpack when finished. Surprisingly, not many offer the lid feature! I really like that the lid locks closes then unfolds into a stand of sorts. It helps keep the bowl upright when being eaten out of. It is a very nice quality and feels like it will last me a while. Some mention the carabiner as being annoying or useless, but I actually like that I can clip this bowl to the backpack/bag so it doesn't take up pocket space. I purchased the smaller bowl and it fits my small dog's food amount nicely with room to spare. I will be buying a second one for my other dog!!

we love this! we take the puppy's food and don't have to worry about it spilling all over the place.
