Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9908938A2] A portable container for transporting and providing consumable substances, preferably liquid, to pets includes a storage container for storing a substance and a removably attached serving container. The storage container includes a carrying strap to facilitate transport of the portable container and indicia, preferably a photograph, identifying the pet or pet owner. The indicia is covered by a lens to protect and maintain the indicia on the storage container. The storage container further includes a spout to facilitate transference of the substance to and from the storage container, and a spout cover to prevent spillage during transport. Tabs are disposed on the serving and storage containers wherein the tabs are positioned adjacent each other when the serving container is placed on the storage container to facilitate attachment and removal of the serving container from the storage container. The serving container is removed from the storage container to receive the substance from the storage container and to enable a pet to consume that substance.
