What's the best way to provide water to a dog in a vehicle? I use a
plastic Folgers coffee container on the floor of a pickup truck. It
works, but occasionally it gets knocked over. There must be a better
way.

If you want to keep using this container, some velcro on the bottom
will usually keep it stuck to the floor's carpet pretty well.

I use clip-on buckets in their crates.


B. Peg...
Ours used a baby bottle. Low mess, and he pretty much figured it out in
short order.

I don't give my dogs water in my vehicle. I don't feel it's necessary.
I stop every three hours or so so that dogs and humans can stretch
their legs and take a bathroom break, and I offer water then, in a bowl
outside the van.

a short/small dish that fits in a cup holder is what I use. I put less than
an inch of water in it so they can't really spill it but never go thirsty
either.
