Water Dispenser for Pet, 20-Ounce(Colors may vary)

This is the best water bottle for dogs….
I LOVE this water bottle, its fantastic & so easy to use, just flip it open, squeeze and serve. I had one before that i bought from my local pet store, but they don’t seem to carry it any longer, so I was happy to find this one online.I use it when I go to the beach mostly and I wish I would have ordered it sooner, now my little dog gets just the amount of water she wants without other dogs topping the bowl over or getting sand in the water. In fact lots of other dogs running around on the beach came to drink from it because I had the cool fresh water without residue saltwater or sand in it…I also use it when I travel and I no longer end up spilling any excess water or having to bother the flight attendant to take care of what she doesn’t drink. Another good thing is the clip on the back of the bottle, it is so convenient to just latch it onto her travel bag or on my own bag when I take her for longer walks.My only complaint with this is not with the product itself but with the way it is ordered. It says “assorted colours” and that Amazon will chose it for you, I have a girly-girl dog and I would have given anything for a pink (or purple) one, I even wrote a note in the gift portion to Amazon asking if they can please send me a pink one – I got a yellow, which means that they were either sold out of ALL the pinks and purples or they just didn’t bother to read my note (at least it wasn’t blue!)… Basically I wish there was a option to chose the colour you want when ordering…Other than that this product is great and I would absolutely recommend it to others.

Bad design. It may leak first use or later!
I see why there are bad reviews for leaking and problems dispensing water. This is because of poor design, engineering. Granted, the cost outlay is not great but multiplied by items sold it is a lot in aggregate. Amazon should pull these until the company resolves this issue; engineering types will keep posting to warn people not to spend their money, even though the idea is good. Here’s the problem. The ball dispenser is meant to be closed when the bottle is seated in the tray and open when the bottle is upright. There is a slotted key in the tray to hold the ball in place while the bottle rotates around the ball. The “axle” on the ball has a D-shaped end which is designed to fit into the slotted key cap, which essentially snaps in place and has an o-ring to prevent leakage. In the design, the key cap/axle end is the weak point. See pic, yellow distortion of plastic at the corners, cap receptacle. Why? Unaccounted for torque caused by bottle rotation. This torque is directly related to how tight a customer closes the bottle. The gasket between bottle and ball changes the “feel” of tightness by the customer and them wanting to make sure it doesn’t leak. If one barely seats the bottle to the gasket there may not be an issue. However, not even really over tightening, it puts puts enough tension on the ball that the resulting rotational torque will spin the axle in the slotted cap; the cap itself can not rotate. Once that happens it deforms the cap’s axle receptacle plastic and it will no longer keep the ball in designed position. Ultimately it leaks when supposed to closed and will not dispense when supposed to be open. Other times it is between open/closed in either position. If yours is leaking, this may be why!
