Introduction: In the quest to enhance the well-being of working dogs,Working dogs often face the risk of heatstroke and dehydration, particularly in challenging environments. The HydroDoggie Helperdesign providing continuous supply of cool water, while combining withbreathable and insulating materials to keep the water cool while coolingthe skin. The Hydro Doggie Helper incorporates an intuitive bite vale mechanism allowing them self-drinking as a nature drinking posture.

Water Storage Harness Design Process
Dog Movements
I combined the self-drinking principle of the bite valve, utilising the tension of elastic materials achieving complete closure of the valve without pressure. When teeth actively bite to open the valve. As well as integrated dog's ergonomics to achieve optimal shape.
Dog Drinking Position
Since dogs unable perform a sucking action, the design must ensure that the water flow is directed downwards.
By analyzing various movements to determine the optimal direction for water flow.
