Fun Doggy Water Bottle Will Keep Your Pup Hydrated On The Move

The Lil Gulp is a new invention for pooches that hopes to make a splash as the “ultiimate” doggy water bottle.
It’s the brainchild of Bryan Reisberg, a Brooklyn-based pet product designer who, for the past seven years, has been adventuring with his beloved corgi, Maxine. But those outings were often dampened by the struggle of bottles that miss the mark.
It’s like “searching for a unicorn,” he says. “Non-existent! They leak, they break, and the materials? Don’t get me started. And worst of all, they’re about as exciting as watching paint dry. Where’s the imagination? The innovation? The fun?"
Reisberg’s frustration fueled his creativity, leading to The Lil Gulp. Constructed with Ecozen, a plant-based, carbon-neutral material, the bottle is both durable and eco-friendly. This focus on sustainability extends to the product’s design, with the creators emphasizing that The Lil Gulp is built to last, reducing plastic waste from disposable water bottles.

One of the key features of The Lil Gulp is its leakproof design, a common complaint with doggy water bottles. Its internal sealing mechanism aims to address this concern.

Functionality is another focus. The Lil Gulp features a built-in carbon filter designed to remove impurities from your dog's water, and a retractable silicone trough that dispenses water with a simple button press. The trough is also fast-drying and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
“We truly worked our fluffy butts off creating the best effing doggy water bottle you’ve ever seen,” notes Reisberg.

It looks tail-wagging fun too, arriving in three “totally rad” color combinations of ‘Sherbet Soaker’ (blue, orange and green), ‘Power Punch’ (blue, red and yellow), and ‘Cotton Candy Cruiser’ (pink, purple and blue) to match your pup’s pawsome personality! The best part is they’re dog-friendly hues, so little Charlie can appreciate the 90s aesthetic too.
While the bottle is still in Kickstarter mode, it’s surpassed its US$25,000 funding goal fivefold. Lil Gulp has Big Game.
