Choosing the Best Dog Water Bottles for Your Canine Friend

Best Dog Water Bottles by Sid 

We all spend hours comparing various dog foods and their impacts on health. Similarly, we also ensure that we are getting the right clothes, vet services, even toys.  However, we do tend to forget about one essential aspect of our dog’s nutrition and well-being – water. 

Hydration is just as vital for our little buddies as it is for us humans. Nonetheless, when you are out for a walk, playing or traveling, it can get a bit challenging to keep your canine hydrated. So, in this article, we will introduce the best water bottles for dogs so they can be healthy and full of energy all the time. 

Benefits of proper hydration 

1. Water is the major constituent of healthy cells, and as a result your dog’s body weight is roughly 70% water. Without water, your dog’s body just does not function properly.
2. Water is also a major component of blood. As a result, it assists in the removal of wastes from individual cells as well as the overall body through urination and bowel movements.
3. Proper hydration aids in nutrient absorption and healthy digestion. 
4. Dogs have a higher body temperature than humans and need water to maintain an average temperature.Especially during summers when it’s evaporated during panting or sweating.

Can Dogs Drink From Water Bottles?

Most dog water water bottles either have an attached container that acts like a bowl.  Dogs simply lap up the water as they would do at home.  The other type of water bottle comes complete with a stainless steel nozzle that contains small balls. 

The dog licks the balls and the water is released.  The best way to get a dog interested in drinking from this type of bottle is to dab the nozzle with something such as peanut butter, beef broth or their favorite flavor.  They will like the end to get the treat and the water will flow.

What to consider when buying a dog water bottle 

Material–

Water bottles of course come in various material options such as plastic, steel etc. You can choose whatever will make more sense for your dog’s needs and their lifestyle. However, do make sure that the material is BPA-free and is not a hazard for your dog’s health.  

Size/Storage–

This decision is majorly governed by the size of your pet. If you have a smaller dog, it wouldn’t make too much sense to get a large bottle which is challenging to carry. 

Cleaning–

You must make sure that the bottle does not have too many small pieces as that can be a choking hazard for your dog and also be a challenge to clean up.  

Purchasing a bottle brush makes sense as it is sometimes difficult to get a small mouth bottle clean by simply rinsing.

Built in water filter –

There aren’t too many options with this particular feature but it does make sense to invest in one if your dog has problems staying hydrated. This is due to that fact that the water will become better tasting and hence provide a better experience for your dog.

The Best Dog Water Bottles For Stay-at-Home Dogs

Water bottles can be the best solution to keep your pup hydrated at home for a number of situations.

• You must keep him crated while you are out and there’s no room for a bowl.
• You have a long haired dog whose whiskers and beard get soaked with each sip of water.
• Your pooch would rather swim in the bowl than drink from it.
• You have a dog who insists on immersing his entire head in the water, thus leaving what water that is left dirty and undrinkable.

Choco Nose H570

For a water bottle that attaches to a crate, this one can’t be beat.  It has a leak-proof nozzle and is made of material that is BPA free.  It is advertised as being suitable for a large breed dog, probably due to the larger size nozzle (22 mm) but most small breed dogs can also use it just fine. 

The clamp attaches to the crate so that the bottle is on the outside, but the nozzle remains on the inside of the cage.  It’s versatility allows you to position it at the height of the dog.

Once attached to the crate, you can easily snap the bottle off for cleaning or refilling without having to remove the entire mechanism.  There are two small holes drilled that can be used to attach it to a wooden stand or even the wall if you prefer.

Choco Nose also makes bottles for small dogs and rabbits.

Heydou Pet Round Patented Water Feeder Bottle 

If you’re worried your small breed dog may not be able to manage a large 22mm nozzle, here’s one that may be just their size.  This one comes with a smaller sized nozzle (13 mm) and is recommended for small dogs, cats and rabbits up to 17 pounds.  

You can attach it to a crate with it’s screw on mount in a similar way as the the H570 above or use the pre-drilled nail holes to attach it to a wooden holder. Removing the bottle for cleaning and filling is easy by snapping it off the mounting.  It comes in a choice of pink, blue or green.

Maybe you would prefer a dog water bottle that is free-standing.  Here’s an excellent choice that not only does not leak but is adjustable for your dog’s height.  The bottle is made of food grade plastic and can be adjusted to 6.3″, 9.1″ or 11.8″ in height by adding or removing the colorful links that make up the stand.

The base is shaped like a bowl that can be filled with water, food, or left empty.  This type of base adds to the stability so that small dogs can knock over this one.  Everything, bowl, water bottle and stand can all be taken apart.  

The nozzle is steel, so there is no chance of rusting and can be washed with soap and water before filling the bottle.
