" ...  Crate access to water without knocking over the water dish!  ...  "
comment
" ...  I'd leave his water for overnight in the crate and wake to see all the water on him or him digging at it. ... I do notice a considerable amount of water gone in the mornings.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I showed him that water comes out of the nozzle 3 or 4 times and this morning he drank from,it on his own.  ...  "

" ...  I just put a small carrier bowl under it and my dog drinks from them both enough to keep it form overflowing.  ...  "

" ...  These bottles are much more convenient than putting a water bowl in the crate as it does not need to be filled as often and the dog cannot knock it over and spill the water.  ...  "

" ...  It broke at the second day I got it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  In the nozzle, the piece of plastic(a rod) that allows water to flow has a point on it. ... The point fits inside a rubber gasket. ... On both bottles, the pointed plastic poked a hole in the rubber gasket so the bottle no longer has a vacuum which allows it to perform correctly. ... Manufacturer needs to modify the design by putting a rounded ball on the plastic rod so when the ball is licked with force, the rod will not rupture the gasket.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The plastic clip used with the wing nut screw to hook the bottle on the crate broke on day two.  ...  "
