Keep Your Dog Hydrated with Lixit's Top-Fill Water Bottles

John R. Toborg: I bought two of these for my two Golden Retriever puppies in their kennel. I mounted it on the outside (as you should), and one leaked through the threaded nozzle ... not the tip of the nozzle. A little plumber's teflon tape took care of that. My main complaint is that the nozzle is simply too short. It barely extends one inch beyond the wires to the inside of the kennel. My pups are licking the wire kennel as much as the nozzle. I have it mounted as high as I possibly can, so they don't have to lean over and crane their necks to drink, but it doesn't help. I like the capacity as well - mine holds oz. and lasts for a few days. The cap, though, is push-on and not screw on, so don't lift it by its cap when it's full - you'll have a mess!

Dan S: It say eligible for refund or replacement, I try to send mine back and it says chat or call, I say chat and I get automated messages, it's Garbage, it leaks all over the floor.

Diana NavasDiana Navas: **Amending my earlier review, looks like having the nuzzle pressed against the panel wire actually fixes the leaking issue. Have had no leaks for two days, very happy with this quick change as I got it wrong the first time.**

Does not work as advertised, water continuously spills out. Regretful purchase.

Tracey Gubb: I was a little concerned on first using as it leaked, but it turned out that the gasket wasn’t in the connector properly, once we sorted that, it stopped leaking and my dog still had a some left after her flight so she’d obviously used it

Jade : This seemed like a good product out of the bag but about 20 seconds in it began where the spout meets the bottle. Once we disassembled it about 3 separate times and washed it, it finally resolved to leak from the ball bearing at the end instead.... It leaked a lot, enough to soak my puppy's ear and side of face while she napped in her crate. The lid is just sat on top and is excessively large to create a friction "seal", so if you're unlucky enough to grab it a bit too high, the whole thing will release from your command and spill its 30+oz of contents on the ground. I didn't expect much for $6 but man I expected a bit more at least. Only upside is puppy took to it easily so now I know I can buy a replacement and she'll figure it out + Amazon gave me a refund (this item isn't returnable, they make you talk to a rep to get a refund.). The connection to the crate is a giant pain in the ass to reposition, and inside the crate for most setups, and could readily be unscrewed (basic thumb screw clamp) by a curious puppy, easily tipping the water bottle over and out. Very lazily designed a manufactured, just pick a better option.

JaxFL: First, I recommend the largest size because they are made differently from their smaller size bottles. The smaller size doesn't use the same leak proof technology as the bigger size does. Also the bigger size can be taken apart to clean the steel ball and rubber pieces.
I have only had a little leakage when the ball gets stuck and only needs to be touched and it goes back into place. As others have mentioned, you may have to take apart when you first get the bottle and put it back together. 4 out of 6 that I ordered were originally put together backwards. Once reassembled they work great. One I had to carve down the little plastic notches/bumps on the screw cap to ensure a tight waterproof connection.
I highly recommend these large bottles as they work great for small or larger pups. They mount on outside of crates and kennels so pups dont chew on them or knock them off. The larger bottles also have screw-on clamps that clamp on either sides of the bars and the nut tightens to hold them in place. The smaller bottles have a clip on metal spring that wraps around the bottle and allows the bottle to move and get knocked out of place and is also hard to clip on...

breanna: love this product! doesn’t leak at all!! not one drop! easy to clean, easy to fill, easy to take on and off. it holds a lot of water too I love the size. I have it attached to the crate for my 50 pound blue heeler and she loves it she figured out how to drink from it right away! I was skeptical that a dog would know how to drink from it but she uses it all the time!! Definitely recommend !!

Amazon customerAmazon customer: Great useful crate accessory! I have a 4 month old, 21 lbs puppy that chews plastic cups and thinks flipping over his ceramic water bowl is a fun game. I'd leave his water for overnight in the crate and wake to see all the water on him or him digging at it. It was extremely frustrating and annoying. Finally got this and it's amazingly useful. I do notice a considerable amount of water gone in the mornings.

Con:
Top cap doesn't seal tightly
Noises at night
Leaks if incorrectly used

Pro:
All day and NIGHT access to water
Cap allows for large ice cubes to be added
Flip cap allows partial refills
Inside / outside installation
Sturdy plastic bottle (44oz)

At the moment its on the outside as my puppy is teething. I also have a metal food bowl underneath to catch the leaks the dog's licking causes. My dog presses his teeth against the metal ball while he licks so it's not a problem with the product but how he uses it...
Highly recommend this. If you have a medium to larger dog then at least get the 32oz or 44oz, can't imagine using a smaller one.

TJ&Punkin: Don't get upset if it leaks...there is a reason why,and it's a very quick fix. Thanks to my awesome engineer,super smarty pants husband. We got the first one for my Pug puppy last week...and as soon as I filled it up...it began to leak. Just like everyone who had an issue said it would. My husband took a quick look at it. This bottle is from a plastic die-cast mold. Two pieces that are joined together. Down at the nozzle portion, if run your finger along it...you can feel a bit of a bump....just enough to interrupt it from properly sealing. He took a razor blade box cutter and shaved it off. Now it works like a dream. No drip, no leak. My puppy LOVES it. We decided to go and get another for our two chihuahuas, bc they like his. It came in today. Sure enough, same little bump and it was leaking some at the nozzle where you screw it on. So I shaved the little bump off, and voila...works fantastically. Plastic isn't always perfect. So don't give up on this product. It's awesome.
