Do you leave the plastic sleeve covering the threads or take all the plastic off when you open the bottle?

I took all the plastic off. I will say also, that I have 4 dogs being fed a premium diet and after adding this to each feeding there was noticeable improvement.

What do you mean by plastic sleeve? The plastic that seems to come around all OTC meds with the perforated plastic that you peal off? It that is what u mean, then yes I took mine off which would allow for easy removal of the pump if ever needed - which I've not needed to do. I store mine in fridge and have never had any trouble with the bottle leaking or not pumping correctly.

I take the plastic sleeve off. I do not think you can screw on the pump securely with it on.

I bought this last fall and don't remember but I also don't remember having an issue. I'd have to say if the instructions were inside I must have twisted off the lid to get them out and if there was an inner seal I would have taken it off. I used the whole bottle so I no longer have it to look at.

Take the outer packaging sleeve off. The box is a plastic, snap-close reuseable box.

I don't remember having to take the shrink wrap off. The bottle may have the seal that requires twisting to open.

I had trouble with this as well and finally cut the plastic off completely. I never had this issue in the past. Why they changed the packaging I wish I knew....annoying !!!

Do you know that the clear plastic outer sleeve comes off? There is a small button on the side to release it.

To remove it, just grasp the two extended levers and pull off with slight force. I have kept mine on there in case I need to bring the bottle with me during travels.

Goo Gone works well and should not harm the plastic. Sometimes, scrubbing with a Scotch Brite sponge, dish soap, and hot water will remove it.

Yes I unscrew everything when transporting it. Also I got a attachment so I can use a 20 pound bottle.

there is a clear circular ring above the needle, so when the cork is removed, just gently press the plastic ring down and that pushes the cork off of the needle. Easy as it comes.

I haven't felt that using this bottle. However,you can get rid of this by filling the bottle with water and leave it all night. In the morning empty the bottle, wash it and it's ready to use.

I haven't had that happen. The sleeve is removable so it can be removed and washed separately. Also, the bottle with sleeve can go in the dishwasher. I LOVE this bottle.

By "warming" it, do you mean heat it in the microwave or in hot water? I haven't needed to warm the bottles yet, but you could set the whole thing in hot water, although the water will obviously drip from the sleeve when using it, I would think. These are VERY well made glass bottles, and the sleeve is very well made and durable as well.

I didn't have any trouble with the plastic sleeves. I just used my Purple cow today and no problem. I have only used it HOT. Maybe the sleeves they sent you are too old and thus not sealing properly...... check with Purple Cow about this.

I just sit it in a bowl or cup of hot tap water. Glass is better at conducting heat than plastic so I haven't needed to steam the bottle in a bottle warmer to warm up the milk. The sleeve is fine. No issues. Very satisfied with this product. Definitely prefer the option of using the dishwasher as I hand wash all plastic bottles so I can reduce the leeching properties. My children really like this as a bottle and sippy cup.

I don't know, but I will say that removing the sleeve on these bottles is a non-starter. Tried to do it to clean them. Nearly impossible to not rip it and if you do it goes back on loosely and never fits right again.

Try cutting a corner off a plastic sandwich bag. Twist and tuck it behind bite piece b4 closing. Not the greatest solution but at least it's covered. I agree- think about that with my kids at school with their bottles exposed.
