The flexible design of the ThrowBowl ensures that while it's perfect for playtime that it will be able to maintain it's shape use after use.

The clever design of the ThrowBowl looks like an ordinary frisbee at first, but is able to be folded open to reveal a reservoir that can hold up to 48 ounces of water. Made from k9Flex elastomer, the ThrowBowl is ready for consistent use without the need for additional equipment when heading to the park with Fido.
