Leaky Water Bottle

Hehe, I was saying in my head what I was going to type and said "Weaky Later Bottle"

Anyway, I just bought Malaika a water bottle (right before we picked her up today) but it leaks! I put a ceramic food dish under it to catch the drips and it is almost full. It's like a leaky tap.. drip..drip...drip...drip! Is there a way to fix leaky water bottles?

My boyfriend is notorious for making the water bottles leak. When he screws on the caps, they're a little crooked so it seals badly and water leaks out. Maybe you can try re-screwing the lid back on.

You could also but a gasket that is the same diameter as the neck of the bottle. I think it'd be easier to return it and get a new one if the bottle leaks.

I put the litter box under my bottles so they catch the drips. You can clean the spout with a cue tip to get the hair or mineral build up out.

Someone on here suggested that you fill the water bottle up completely before turning it over. It worked for me!

I always make sure to fill up my water bottle to the very top each time. That must do the trick, because Pippin's bottles never leak more than a drop or two.

I tried that.. I think I'll have to return it. Ho hum.

put a brick underneath the bottle, that will catch all the drips, hope that helps!
