Abstract: A portable pouch suitable for both transporting and serving water or beverages to animals is provided. The pouch is sealed to contain and protect the liquid during transport. Such sealed pouches will lay in a generally flat configuration for shipping and storage. Generally, a resealable zip closure is provided at the top of the pouch for later re-use. When the liquid-filled pouch is opened for use, a specially gusseted bottom panel also opens in a generally round and flat orientation to provide a bowl-like configuration and the opened upper edges of the pouch may be rolled downwardly for additional stability. In this open configuration, the pouch bowl will stand upright without assistance from the animal handler. An animal may then drink from the top of the open pouch and a zip closure may be used to save some liquid for later use.
