Does anyone have experience attaching the bottle to something other than a dog crate? I'm trying to picture how I would do that.

it comes with a mounting bracket and a few nuts / bolts. i have no coordination but had no trouble. further questions just ask. you shound get 2 tops where the water comes out as they tend to have issues requiring soaking from time to time.. The glass is great.

my husband used one of those bottles you can hook up to a hose and spread it that way. Good luck!

I must apologize, I forgot that we used a regular water bottle attachment to mount to the wood for the lixit bottle. I want to send you the photos but I have been unable to upload them. Perhaps you can tell me how to send the photos?

I've had it installed on our dog crate door for a little over a month now and I've not ever cleaned the bottle. It hasn't gotten dirty so I haven't seen the need to clean it. My dog uses it during the night and for a few hours during the day. Now I'm curious why other people would clean it once or twice a week ??? Maybe it's because of all the water not being drank ??? My dog almost empties the bottle daily... so since I fill it daily he's always got fresh water in the bottle.

You Pull It Off. Just Use A Bit Of Force.. Though It'll Come Right Of. Just Be Cautious To Not Loose Your Bottle On The Floor In The Process... Had That Happen Once To Me :-[

I tried to put it in a plastic water bottle that would have about the same size opening and couldn't make it happen. Hope that helps!

It attaches at the top. I do not know if it can be used in other bottles, that is a question for the manufacturer as they would have a better understanding of the manufacturing specifications.

I feel same way,you tie a knot in one end of plastic cord, slide thru hole on screw on cap on top of glass jar.. Then tie another knot on other end of plastic core leaving aloop to Hang on to a hanger. I am very disappointed with this model, I have used another model of perky pet with no issues and expected this model to be superior. WRONG!,,

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

I have 4 sides and have configured them into a square to create a crate/pen (without a roof). If you describe how you plan to configure it and what your plan for it's use it that would be helpful, plus how big is your dog and how determined and strong is it?

I think you would have to rig your own system to hang a water bottle where the hamster could reach it. We also returned the cage as the dwarf hamster could slide open the door, and cage was also too small for him. We have stopped using water bottles because even the expensive glass and metal bottles (with ball bearings in the drinking tube) get stuck once in a while and the hamster goes without water until we notice the water level isn't dropping. We use small ceramic water bowls and change water daily to make sure he gets water. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I suppose you could mount the metal plates on the wall with an anchor bolt, especially if it is a plaster wall. There is one hole in each plate. The top bar that wraps around the top of the bottle is in constant use in order to remove the bottle to fill it, so I wouldn't mount it without an anchor bolt. The bottom plate holds the bottom of the bottle steady. The bottle is very handy.

Ya DianeI have had the shave down the stoppers for some bottles and add tape to snug up others.I hesitate to use cement or anything that prevents the lamp from being repaired at a later date so I use tape to snug up.I just finished a champagne bottle that is 2 1/2 feet high appx.It was a special display bottle that I latched onto.Sorry I can't add a pic for you.I drill my bottles out so the wire goes out the bottom rather than hang from the socket.Do it Diane, it sounds as though that bottle is important to you.Train

I do not think a glass bottle would work. It may be too heavy for the system and unbalance it.

Depending on your animal and cleaning method's I would use industrial strength Velcro to hold it to the wall or drill holes and bolt the water bottle mount onto the wall with small bolts and nuts from Home Depot.

My bottle also leaked when stored horizontally. So I keep it upright in storage now. Teflon tape might also work.

Yes, you will need the bottle ring. My stand came with the round ring that attaches at the height needed for your pet. If they now are sold separately you will need this to hold the bottle on. I use a 32 oz. Lixit bottle with the little notch on the bottle that keeps it from slipping. I did notice that there are choices in the "ring" attachments since I purchased my stand, so you have other choices in the type of water bottle you can use. I did try a top fill bottle that clipped in and that did not work as it slipped out. I like the ring attachment. The stand is sturdy and looks nice. Yes, you will need the bottle ring.
