Puppy proof bottles

[tacklebait]

Hey all,

Pickin up our 8 week old Yellow lab today! I was wondering if anyone knows of a chew proof dripper bottle? I'm guessing it would be glass with a type of cover over the soft squeeze top? I dunno any ideas!?

I plan on keeping all my supplies in an off limits room to the dog but I fear I may leave my bottle I use for the day sitting by the couch or somthing, where the pup can get ahold of it8-o.

Labs like to eat everything and I gotta make sure he stays away from the nic juice!

Thanks !

I don't have an answer to your question but it's a good idea. I have 5 dogs, one of which is a Border Collie/Shep cross and she gets into EVERYTHING!! I'm interested in hearing what kind of answers you get to this one.

i don't mean to sound rude, but i wouldn't leave my pets/childrens health up to a bottle, no matter how 'proof' it may be marketed as.

i have an akida who has eaten several of those 'non-destructable' chew toys ...

lol, don't you know there's no such thing as puppy proof?!

glass is prob your best bet tho. i keep a big jar with a narrow opening by the couch to pop my juice bottles into so my puppers don't go curiously snuffling around them.

The only puppy proof is YOU!!!

I make it a habit to put mine up on a shelf so my lab can't get it. And let me tell you, a lab can get into ANYTHING, even glass. So you have to train yourself as well as your puppy!

Hope this helps and good luck!!

Although it is totally true that nothing is 100% guaranteed and liquid should never be left (in a puppy/child proof bottle or not) in reach of animals and children (and stupid people)...the truck I always use is a benadryl bottle. Big enough for most of my drippers (6mL, might even hold 10mL). I stick my dripper bottle in my benadryl bottle and seal it up. That way if I forget it there is a bit more safeguard. But I also never leave it in a room unattended...children are too mischevious...as are dogs! So, I'm not saying a benadryl bottle will do the trick, but it will put a bit more plastic between the nicotine and the dog

I have found that everything that "they" say is child proof, a child figures out faster then a lot of adults. I just don't take the risk to find out if my dog can or can't get into my stuff!

ya the bugger will get into everything and i'm sure in a few months he won't have an issue swollowing one whole if he wants.

He will be attented at all times and has a few different pens around the house that will keep him out of mischief.

Just looking for a bottle with a little time delay on gettin into it.. Just in case i head to the washroom for a second and he decides he likes e-liquid as much as me.

the best thing is to keep them out of reach..

you can put them in a mason jar or they sell those cheap metal lock boxes.

another thing is to teach them to not want anything to do with the bottles if you have one out and trying to fill a cart and they are trying to get at it.. clean out a empty good fill it with water and coat the bottle with alum.. and just leave it out.. do not try to give it to them or play keep away or they will think of them like a toy..

after that sit down drop it on the floor and yell at the dog if it goes after it.. reward it when it stays away..

Johnsons Creek Has A Nice Thermos Style Juice Holder That Looks Pretty Tuff..Pricey $14+- Would Be Harder To chew Apart, Just Keep
The E-Stuff Out Of Reach I Guess

I like that idea alot! Although i'd never just leave it up to his own will power, I'll make sure he learns to ignore it as he grows up.

im sorry but is a lockbox really such an inconvenience? i mean seriously they are cheap and effective. i have a 2 year old and a dog thats a chewer and thats the only way to store it that i feel safe about

 

[Lab]

I would use the lock box.. but teaching the dog is also a must.. most are easy to teach.. and the main thing behind that is if you happen to drop a bottle around the dog. so it knows to just ignore it and not go to grab it up..

I am lucky and only have fish and turtles.. so as long as I am not filling carts over the fish tank and the turtles are either in the basement or outside depending on the year so they are never around it.

I seriously mean it when I say, Training the owner(habits) is as important as training the animal. Sometimes training the animal is easier.LOL. Walmart has many suitable hard sided containers in the cosmetic section that will hold your juice bottles and pv, even epipe as I use. If it isn't in your hand, it must go in the case. As an owner of cats, dogs and birds, I can say that when I leave the room, they leave too and the door is closed. Even just to get a drink or go to the bathroom. All my animals are rescue animals and they all come with behavior problems and habits that require patience, repitition, praise and time. Unfortunately, poison won't allow for the time so I recommend the case that looks like a little suitcase, banded in metal. It will also help contain the fluid should any accidental leakage occur. Just my 2 cents worth of experience. Take care and enjoy your new puppy.

+1 to that lol

The liquid bottle I have out because I'm using it goes into a metal container that has a screw on lid.

 

[thelook]

Just keep a small glass canister with a lid that locks down next to you to keep your bottles in. You can find these in the kitchen dept at wally world.

Eurodropper Glass Bottles

Along with all the other great advice, these might help a little. It has a spill proof insert in the bottle and the lid is a hard plastic. The price of the bottles are great but shipping prices are awful. Pretty good shipping time, come UPS if I remember right.

When my dog was a puppy, she ate my glasses, a pack of sewing needles, my pot, my jeans, my boots, my Italian leather shoes and the side of my wooden platform bed.

My cat used to knock things off of shelves that she couldn't reach on her own. They were a very effective destructive team.

Needless to say, 25 years later, everything that can be dangerous to pets or stuff I don't want to lose, still goes up in a cabinet with doors or behind a closed closet door that properly latches.

While training a dog is important, pet and child proofing your home is still common sense.

They get into everything.

lol, my dog ate an entire bag of kona coffee the first week i had her, was horrible in so many ways
