Wetbone Company LLC and Ampac Packaging LLC, Cincinnati, introduced a flexible drinking pouch filled with water for dogs, ideal for walks or runs on hot days. The 16-ounch pouch, shaped like a dog bone, holds purified, vitamin-enriched water in the bottom compartment with a “drinking bowl” on top. The pouch is a three-layer polyester/foil/linear low-density polyethylene laminate. The middle section features an upside-down gusset (a 4 mil piece of polyethylene), which is heat-sealed to the pouch’s inner walls, creating a hammock-shaped drinking bowl. When the pouch is squeezed or compressed, water leaks from one compartment to the other through voids in the heat seal. The pouch also has a press-to-close zipper.
