Hot day, hot dog, cool drink, cool dog – if you're in a warm climate, I'm betting you take many water breaks on long walks. Now, I've been known to form a makeshift bowl for North with my hands – and showed him how to drink from a sports bottle stream – but these bowls would make his sipping much easier.Slurp Bowls ($13.50 for a six-pack) prevent impromptu drinks from questionable dishes or emergency stops for a to-go container since you'll always find this on hand, strapped to the leash. The recyclable and re-usable bowls fold out to hold two cups of water or food and then snap back up.

Way back when, I confessed that North's two dishes cost more than my entire collection of flatware. I remember feeling pretty remorseful about my choice, but the stainless steel has lived up to that investment nearly seven years later! After spotting these sleek twosomes, I'm not feeling guilty but a bit jealous since this is a splurge-worthy set if I've ever seen one.

With temps still reaching the 70s in SF lately, North and I have been taking advantage of the weather, and going for nice long walks on the weekends. You can pretty much bet that two out of three times, I'll forget to grab his pop-up bowl from my car, leaving me to buy a sports cap bottle in the nearest convenience store and play drinking fountain with it as he laps water mid-air. Although there's nothing wrong with this practice, I've found a solution I will never run out of the house without (unless I forget my wallet .

While visiting the awesome Heathy Spot pet shop in Santa Monica, I spotted these super cute Rope Toys ($14) from Jax & Bones that I knew North would love to sink his chompers into. Made from 100 percent natural dyed cotton thread, you can be sure that these toys are not only good for hours of chewing fun, but are good for your pooch and the earth. Not only that, but for each toy purchased from Jax & Bones, part of the proceeds will be donated to the Rescue Train Organization, which helps find homes for pets and operates a no-kill rescue program.

Pet Fashion Week's over 'til February, but New York Fashion Week starts soon! I can't get enough of the Lifestyle Innovation Awards from this event, and you may recognize several of the designs from past posts on the site (like Whiner and Diner, Tigrito, and Kevy K.). Even though, the grand prize winner, HugX, is stunning, if you had to choose with money as no object, which style best fits your home's décor?

My fave competition at Pet Fashion Week is the Lifestyle Innovation Award offered to the company that has the top product design in a different category each year. This year "pet dinnerware" was displayed and this super-cute bowl won. Learn all about it in this slideshow!

The hunt is on! Let your dog get back to his savage roots (well, sort of) with this Poor Pig Pet Bowl ($24) from Urban Addition. Coming in either gray or pink, this number is not like any other food bowl — Fido gobbles up his meal from piggy's belly, and knows he's done when he gets to the exposed ribs at the bottom!

Now I've been a fan of the well-designed Wowo feeders for quite some time now, and I am totally digging the new metallic models. There's something about the tiny circles and glossy red underbelly that makes my heart pitter-patter.
The Aluminum Wowo 2 Series HD Feeders ($165 and up) still come with removable stainless-steel bowls and in three heights, but now boast a pebbled or hammered aluminum veneer option, in addition to the four wood finishes.

Sometimes I call it a bowl, other times a dish – what do you call the receptacle for your pets' food and water? I simply can't decide and often see the products labeled as one or another — technically a dish is "a piece of dishware normally used as a container for holding or serving food" and a bowl is "a round vessel that is open at the top; used chiefly for holding food or liquids," so either word can work . .

Remember the DogPause for those speedy eaters? Well, there's another version, the EatBetter, as well as this model especially for fluids. I'm especially interested because, although my pooch is quite the gobbler, he most often gets sick by throwing up some clear liquid when he drinks too much too fast.
