C590 No-Drip Water Bottle Feeder

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!

My 1 1/2 year old Shih Tzu has been using these type of water dispensers since she was 2 months old. I have 2 free standing ones that come with food bowls built on. As you see in my photo and video, I don’t need an additional food bowl so I set out to find a mountable one for dogs that doesn’t leak. This one was perfect! I added 2 command strip Velcro strips so I don’t have to add unnecessary holes in the wall and it works great, so far! I put a tiny dish below to capture water that drips when in use. It doesn’t drip or leak randomly, only a TINY bit while being used. My dog seems to like this one way more than her previous one, as I’ve seen her go to drink from it way more often because if it’s ease of water release. I saw a review that said they couldn’t figure out how to remove the bottle from the holder - ummm lol not sure how that person has managed to stay alive but it’s super super simple. You just turn it slightly til it unclicks and slide it out. I am so happy with this dispenser that I’m thinking of purchasing 2 more and putting them on our other 2 levels of our condo. Highly recommend! The water stays fresh and clean since it’s inside a bottle and doesn’t make a giant water mess around it. Though I do recommend putting a tiny dish under it for any water that drips from usage. And no wet faces or beards for the longer fur dogs and cats!

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.

My puppy has Choc-Nose bottles in each of his 3 crates. He figured out how to use the waterer in under a minute and prefers them to his water bowl. The video is when he discovered he could drink water from the Choco-Nose.

PLEASE NOTE: I am writing my review based on the (manufacturer suggested) size of water bottle that I purchased for my breed of puppy - Havanese REVIEW: This is a compact little bottle that easily hooks onto the playpen, crate, etc. But it is NOT leak proof as suggested in the listing. Every time our puppy drinks from it, quite a bit of water drops on the surface below, which I have to clean-up from time to time. Given the design, I was expecting some leakage. But this is just more than I had expected. It even leaks when I snap the bottle on and off the holder to refill it. In my view, it is also not a substitute to a water bowl. The water comes out in tiny increments, hence it won’t quench your pets thirst all the way. So if you use it, I suggest allowing your puppy to drink from a water bowl several times a day. But it’s a great thing to have at hand if you want your pet to have access to water while being left unsupervised in their playpen/crate. This way you don’t have to leave their water bowl inside and worry about them spilling it or making a mess with it.

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.

Too hard for small dogs to use.

I am a ethical breeder and these are working great for my frenchie pups, I can remove them for refills easily from outside of the kennels without removing the entire holder (unsnap and resnap) and since they all have their own kennels it allows them to get water anytime of night as needed instead of waiting for outside time or feedings. I have not experienced leaks or any issues with the ones I bought. I was not paid to give this review even though I wish I was …. I’m a normal customer that just wants to help others out .

Just received the item today so yet to actually use it but seems really well made and suitable for the purpose.

I like the idea of this water bottle, I got it because I wanted to keep my dog clean when drinking water, no dripping. However there is very little water comes out when she licks, she certainly can’t get much water if only drinking out of this bottle . Unfortunately I can’t say it works.

J'ai acheté le bleu et c'est un peu trop gros pour mon chat. Mais très efficace concernant la retenue d'eau.

This water bottle is brilliant. My puppy kept on knocking over his water bowl in his crate. This has been a fantastic solution. My puppy learnt how to use it quickly. There is no leaking and I was able to fit it to the crate with ease. It's a great purchase.

My cat can't get the hang of it but its big enough for her, she just doesn't seem to get it
