Ok, so at first I was going to send it back because I thought it leaked terribly and wouldn't stay in the holder. I noticed however that when I held it up at a certain degree or angle (while training my dog to use it with the help of adding peanut butter) it didn't leak at all. I also noticed on one video that someone had it inside the cage instead of on the outside, like I did initially. After trying this, it stays in place. I believe I could probably tighten it a little more (without doing any damage) and it would probably work on the outside, like I see it doing in other videos, as well.

The bowl won't fit on the cat carrier I have, and the bottle drips a little, but overall pretty decent product

I ultimately ended up returning this item as it simply doesn't provide enough water flow for a small dog...perhaps it would be okay for tea-cup breeds, but I have a small Maltese-Bichon breed, and again, just not enough water flow to provide water for throughout the day while he is in his playpen while I'm at work. The description implies that it can be used for small dogs, but my opinion would be that it is only suited for very small animals like hamsters, gerbil's, rabbits, etc...and again, perhaps tea-cup dog breeds.
I see people complaining that this bottle leaks, and that to me is not a fair assessment. When it's in an upright position, it does not leak. The only "leaking that occurs, is from excess water that doesn't make it directly into your pet's mouth. Of course that would occur...Some people give the wrong impression...that it leaks on it's own, and that's just not a fair assessment...I ended up getting the same brand but in a larger size, and I'm happy with it. It has greater water flow, and like the first one I received, it does not leak on it's own...The overall construction and ease of use (clamps onto cages, or straps into a fabric playpen) is good...no complaints there...

This is the best "dripless" bottle I've found, and I've tested several. I travel with my show dogs and the bottle holder allows you to turn the bottle rightside up so water does not "leak" with the constant movement of the vehicle. But most importantly, I test all the bottle nozzles when they arrive and out of the 20+ bottles I've purchased, I've not had to return a single one for constant dripping. Great product!!

I am not one to write reviews but I definitely wanted to for this product. Years ago we were told to train our Shih Tzu puppies using a no drip water bottle on the side of their crate which we did. They never messed up all the fur under their mouths which helps with odor and cleanliness. We recently got a new Shih Tzu puppy and I wanted to do the same thing. I purchased 2 other bottles and had to return both. Thank goodness the 3rd time was the charm! This one is fantastic!! It doesn't drip, it is easy for the puppy to reach as it is totally adjustable and there is a good amount of water that comes out so as not to discourage the puppy and allows him to get enough to drink. I actually bought another one that I can take with us when we go somewhere with him!
I wouldn't hesitate for one moment to purchase this!!
