Choco Nose Patented No-Drip Water Bottle/Feeder for Large Dogs Over 50 lbs - Wire Cages, Crates or Kennels. 16 oz. X-Large Nozzle 22mm, Pink

The media could not be loaded. Super solid design. I’ve had no leaks ever. Not one drop!! It’s a perfect design, and it’s not that noisy compared to others. My dog loves it and uses it often!!! The water lasts her several days/nights of various kennel activity/times (she sleeps in her kennel). Very good water capacity for my puppy, and a great value! We’ve event traveled with the kennel in the car, with the water still attached. Still no leaks and didn’t come loose or anything. 5 stars!!!

Easy to setup and no dripping. Holds plenty of water for my cat and works as expected.

This bottle is perfect for my shih tzu so he doesn’t constantly have a wet face after getting a drink. We have it installed on a homemade wooden stand instead of a crate and it’s very easy to remove and refill. It gives my dog a sufficient amount of water but almost too much because he can’t catch it all and then it puddles at his feet. I keep a bowl underneath it to catch the mess but it definitely doesn’t drip which is the big thing I was looking for

no drip is right!!

This is the best alternative for water in a kennel. Trained my dog how to use it, and on long vehicle rides she drinks out of it. Kind of funny too haha. Anyways No mess, no spilt water and most importantly no dehydrated dog.

Our cat is almost 7 years old and at this point she has pretty fixed habits and personality. Not many cats like chage anyway. A younger cat might be easier to introduce this to and make it a normal activity. Maybe this works for other pet owners, but our cat was not at all interested. She loves flowing water to drink from the faucet, and this item wasn't close enough to qualify for her. She tilts her head to lap at the running water and it's easily accessible. She doesn't have to think about it or work to hard. It's a treat for her and she loves the routine of the times we turn it on and off for her. Whether or not we introduced it to her well she didn't respond to it. I can't speak much to its longevity because she doesn't touch it. I think the spout/ball part worked, but it isn't comparable enough to running water to count. If a product fails to fulfill its goal due to lack of interest from the intended target, it fails for us. It wasn't bad, but neither was it great. Therefore a 3 for being mid.

Oops. I didn't read the descriptionI was ordering this cute pink water dispenser for my 12 pound Shih Tzu curly girl… Didn’t realize it was for a 50 pound dog. Thank goodness I have a 46 pound male dog that like the fact, it’s being pink it should work just fine - as he won’t be able to see that it’s a feminine color (dogs can’t see pink ) so I doubt he cares. As long as it’s full he will be happy and it seems to work great.

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) seriesis 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.
