 This Isn't Rocket ScienceMar 12, 2011
By Lone Wolf
Even though many people will have you believe that this product does not work, I have to let you know that it is simply operator error and they do not know how to properly fill the container.
1. Use room temperature water when filling, and fill completely with no air bubbles left. If you use hot water or cold water, then you will have problems creating a vacuum since the water molecules will be expanding and contracting.
2. Tighten the cap completely, while holding the watering unit upside down to ensure that it is completely full with no air bubbles left inside.
3. After tightening the cap, turn the unit right side up and gently squeeze the unit. As you gently squeeze the unit, tap on the ball on the nozzle tip a few times to let air in that will create the vacuum.
Voila. Those are the steps to ensure that this will not leak. If you simply do steps 1-3 while filling it, then this will work perfectly.
If you don't use room temperature water, or place this in the hot sun, or don't fill it completely, or don't squeeze it while tapping on the nozzle then this bottle will leak... and that is your fault because you aren't paying attention to basic physics.

 useless indoorsJul 25, 2006
By Designer Ben
I received this item as part of a package deal including a cage to attach it to. After filling the water bottle i attached the spout (very securely, as the directions indicated) and turned it over so it would create a "seal." I have tried many times and this piece of garbage will not stop leaking profusely, probably 3-4 drips a second. It's absolutely worthless if you want to use it inside.

10 years and still working perfectlyDec 09, 2009
By MaxdB
We bought a Lixit bottle for our dogs' crate 10 years ago. It has performed perfectly all these years. Those complaining about leaks around the cap... if there is a GASKET supplied with the bottle to seal the top to the bottle, it HAS to be used or the bottle will never seal. Another possibility is that a little excess plastic from the mold may need to be removed on the lip of the bottle with a utility knife so the top seals tightly - this takes maybe 15 seconds to do if it is necessary - just make the lip and inside/outside edges of the bottle smooth. Simple. There have been times over the years when the bottle drips slightly - this is always due to saliva from the dogs' tongues drying around the end of the pipe and/or the sealing metal ball in the pipe. Cleaning the pipe and ball well (dishwashing soap works fine) solves minor dripping if it ever starts.

 Zipties are your BEST FRIENDApr 06, 2011
By Esterai
The hanging caddies I got for our flight with our dogs (that come included with the product) were garbage. You couldn't attach them to the outside of the Petmate Vari Kennels I had for my enormous great danes. However, with a little work, we ziptied it to the front of the kennel with no problem. Just be prepared. Product worked like a charm and we'll use them when we fly the dogs again. My male great dane wasn't particularly interested in it, but at least he HAD it in case he wanted to drink. Make sure you teach your dogs how to use it before you leave.
You may have to trim a bar away on the front door of your crate to put the straw part of this inside. We had to. All in all, it's worth every penny.

Also great for naughty cats!Jun 20, 2010
By crumpitt
I got this water feeder for my cats. They had developed a nasty habit of knocking over their usual water dish (the normal automatic water feeders you get at the pet store). I spent 2 or 3 days cleaning up huge water spills from the carpet, including soaking it up with sham-wow's and then getting out the hair dryer to dry it completely. It was a LOT of work! Needles to say after doing that a few times I went looking for a better solution.
I don't know what made them to decide to start messing with their other water feeder, but this little water bottle has been an awesome solution! Although I didn't know if they would use it at first(because they've never seen one or used one before) I figured we'd try it out. I cleaned it out with soapy water, filled it up FULL, and put it on the side of a cat carrier that's set up in the corner. It was the only place I could set it up- there are metal bars on the carrier to allow kitty to see out when you take him to the vet, and the water feeder is designed to be used on a cage or crate.
Anyway, it works! The first time, I got down on the floor and "showed" them how to use it, and after that they were off to the races! We love this thing.
The only negative I have with it is that it's kinda hard to figure out how to hang it. I just now realized that I was doing it wrong! Oh well, it was working for us the way it was. But I'll try to follow the directions on the package (what an idea, huh?) and see if I can't get it more secure and easier to take out and put back in.
All in all, though, it's saved me a lot of work and my cats don't have to go without water. Yay!
