It has a little support on the bottom. This sounds exactly like the Samsonite one that is sold through a variety of mail-order pet supply catalogs, pet supply stores, and other places. I got one at Kmart for about $25. WalMart might have them too.....There are 2 Samsonite models: regular is around $25 and deluxe is around $45. I don't know what the difference is. I've looked at the catalogs and can't see enough in the deluxe to justify the extra $20. If anyone uses one of these and has a solution to the water bottle problem, please let me know!!
