Choco Nose Patented No-Drip Dog Water Bottle/Feeder for Dogs/Cats and Other Small-Medium Sized Animals - for Cages, Crates or Wall Mount. 10.2 Oz. Mess Free Leak-Proof Nozzle 16mm, Blue (C590)

This dog water bottle feeder is amazing! It’s completely leak-proof—no drips or mess, which is such a relief. My dog figured out how to use it right away, and it’s perfect for walks, road trips, and even around the house. The bottle is sturdy, easy to fill, and the built-in dispenser works smoothly. I also love that it’s portable and fits easily in my bag or car cup holder. Keeps my pup hydrated and saves me from spills. Highly recommend for pet owners on the go!

GET THIS! There are lookalikes on the platform that are cheaper, but trust me, a 5lb puppy could lick the spout and disengage the water container so it crashes to the floor. If you're dealing with a very young pup, (ours is 8.5 wks/old) you'll understand quickly that sleep is a real priority. Needing to wake up for THIS isn't at all worth it. Get this, it clicks in place, it's tough to disengage for a pup and this won't be a reason to wake.

This is a truly unusually-outstanding product in the amount of thought and care the owners put into the design and manufacture. That being said, it's also striking how the company would misguide people to the WRONG PRODUCT for CATS! Especially since their lineup is a bit confusing, you'd think they'd be extra-careful. They guide you to C590 (BLUISH-PURPLE) and H590 (APPLE GREEN) for "dogs/cats and other small to medium-sized animals". This is wrong for CATS and "actually small" dogs. GET C528 (GREENISH-AQUA) FOR CATS/SMALL DOGS! Strikingly, their marketing DOESN'T SHOW A SINGLE CAT in ANY of their montages. That's what threw me off. So after buying the larger one first, I can tell you that the Aqua one (C528) is the BEST FOR CATS. For crying out loud, they put a CHINCHILLA in their C528 montage, and not a single CAT! MAIN SIMILARITIES: - They're almost identical in nozzle length, and close to the same width. What matters here is the strength of the SPRING holding the ball back, and I'll get to that. - The bottle sizes are the same (10.2 oz). - Extremely similar designs (mounts, functioning). MAIN DIFFERENCES: - Aqua (C528) has a LIGHTER SPRING that is EASIER for LITTLE TONGUES to depress (less work). This could help in faster adoption. - The nozzle width is 13 vs 16 mm, but they're so similar that even looking at them side-by-side, you'd have to look closely to really see the difference. First having the blue (C590), it took about 2 months - and some creative, sometimes-difficult coaxing - to get the cat to 'figure it out' that "water comes out of here, but you have to press hard with your tongue". The spring holding the ball back was just so stiff, the cat would lick the ball I'd pre-wetted, but the cat wouldn't lick hard enough to make water come out. Eventually we got it, and the cat (to my relief) actually started preferring the C590 even to the nasty water bowl. When I finally got the aqua (C528), adoption was immediate, and I was finally able to stop using the bowls. I think the cat prefers the lighter spring, though to be honest, the cat still uses the blue/C590 set up in another room, vs going to a different room to get a drink from the aqua/C528. I would use the larger 590 series for midsize dogs. For large dogs, I'm sure they could use it but it would run out quickly, so they have the biggest model for them, with more chrome for huge tongues. . With hindsight, for choosing models, I'd now say it's BETTER for it to be TOO SMALL THAN TOO BIG. A bigger animal can always use the smaller bottle, but a smaller animal won't necesssarily be able to use (or figure out) the bigger bottles with stronger springs. I'm just saying, if you have a cat or a genuinely small dog, buy the C528 (aqua/13mm nozzle), not the blue or apple green (16mm nozzle). Using this product, you will see how much thought the designers put into it. This is light years ahead of the cheap hamster bottle (which I also tried - and the cat used occasionally - but now ignores in favor of either Choco Nose bottle). You can get creative with mounts beyond cages. I doubled up some cardboard as backing, poked a hole through it (with scissors) for the bottle's mount peg to go through, and now it sticks out the side of a wire bookshelf at low level (with books holding the cardboard up). If they could make it easier for people to mount in multiple rooms, THEY'D SELL MORE OF THEM. This is, again, a lost marketing opportunity. I would really like to see a mount that could work for for lamp posts. I haven't figured that out yet. But, even a decent-sized cardboard box, with some stuff in it to weight it, you can punch through and mount one of these (best to put an extra square of cardboard inside the box to reinforce the box wall). Or, if you have a pet carrier cage you hardly ever use, you can set a bottle up with the nozzle pointing OUT, and the pet carrier will now serve a purpose, vs just taking up room. I took off 1 star ONLY because of the cat marketing fail. They need to take the word "cat" off of C590/H590, and actually put A PHOTO OF A CAT in the C528 graphic. Choco Nose, send me a consultation donation! The product itself, just makes you proud of whoever came up with these. Apparently an American couple with an idea, and seeing a niche, they went for it. And they did a great job. Yes, it is made (not designed) in China, hence the (I think very affordable, for the uniqueness and quality) price, but with good supervision, and a truly unique design. Oh. And dripping? No way. They're amazing. Here's a free tip for the cheap "hamster/gineau pig" water bottles to make them drip less: FILL THE BOTTLE TO MAX FULL, then screw on the nozzle, and flip it upright quickly. This forms a bit of a negative-pressure/vacuum to help hold the water in, and not drip. But for the Choco Nose, I noticed that that isn't necessary. Even if you want to fill it partway, it won't leak. However, I'd still recommend filling it to maximum full as a good practice. And, when it's low, of course dump whatever water's remaining in there, and fill with the cleanest water you have (preferably not tap). This solution is so much cleaner than "bowls". I think the pets should have access to more than 1 bottle (again, lost marketing opportunity), in case they get temporarily lose access to that room for whatever reason. I also like that you can HEAR WHEN and HOW LONG they're drinking. But it's actually still QUIETER than those loud gineau pig bottles. That's because the ball on the Choco Nose is much larger, and the spring is stronger, and it's in a plastic tube. Whereas the 'gineau pig bottles' have a freeflowing (no spring), small ball, that rattles in the all-metal tube. So the 'drinking sound' is actually kind of pleasant with the Choco Nose, but grating with the traditional pet store water bottles. I will admit that the 590 (larger) series is definitely quieter, as the spring is so much stronger (and the ball bigger). The aqua is noisier, but it still doesn't annoy me. Get what's right for your pet. You can also easily visually SEE/MONITOR their water, whereas I had difficulty keeping track of the status of little bowls of water. And no more overturned water bowls, or playing "patty cake" with the water! "Mysteriously wet paws" are now a thing of the past! You (and your pet) will want more than 1, if you can get your pet to figure it out. Remember: err on the side of small.

Just what I needed for my puppy when he is in his kennel and my husband and I are out of the house. This bottle is new to him (and me!) so I put a bit of caramel dip on the nipple of the bottle to get him used to drinking from it. So far I've had no problems with leakage or water flow.

The overall dog water bottle is good, but not for dog that chew or puppies. The second time it was used it leaked all over the cage. I couldn’t figure it out and then when my dog was kenneled he went after the holder and I realized it was the dog that caused the bottle to leak. The plastic was easy to puncture. I did love the fun color, love the orange.

The product works as advertised. Though was a little smaller than expected.Unfortunately, my dogs were too rough on it.

Difficult to refill - the entire bottle must be unscrewed in order to refill - poor design. The plastic clamp does not hold the water bottle securely - the bottle falls off when full. I could not use and gave to local shelter.

I can't believe this bottle does not drip, but it has no leaks whatsoever. Probably going on 8 or 9 months now, and not a single drop spilled. It has considerably increased the amount of water one of our pugs drinks. I would highly recommend.

I have been through many water bottles over the years and they’ve all leaked and have rusted the metal on my dog crates. They all have “leak proof” in the titles but it’s always a lie ! I was VERY skeptical so I’ve tested it out for a while before my review. It’s very easy for my dog to get the water out. The 16mm bottle is perfect size for my shih tzu. A little water does get in the floor as he drinks so I have a little bowl on the floor to catch the water but it only happens from him drinking. Afterwards it’s back to no leaks. Highly recommend. I’ve already purchased a second one -I like that you can switch which way the water bottle faces without having to remove the holding mechanism off of the crate. So when I leave for the day I simply clip the water bottle to face into the crate and then flip it back around to face outwards during the rest of the time.

Brilliant, exactly what we wanted for our 4 month old puppy. No leaks, stable, value for money, clips onto cage anywhere

Seems to work well, some minor leakage at first, can't convince my dogs to use it though.

J'ai acheté ces biberons , très pratique pour mettre sur les cages de mes chiens

I bought this for a small dog - the only downside is the ball at the end gets stuck so no water comes out
