Glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews!
The media could not be loaded. I was hesitant to order because of the negative reviews but glad I decided to give it a try.It's super important to follow the simple steps that are included with the nipple ball, as I affectionately call it. I think many of the negative reviews may be comings from people who didn't follow those instructions. When it first arrives, you should place it in boiling water for 2 minutes. This not only cleans it but helps open up the holes in the nipples so the milk can flow easier. I also used the included pokey tool to help widen some of them.I was only using it for a singleton puppy (not multiples) so I can't speak to how it would work feeding several puppies at once. However, the ease of feeding one puppy is worth it for me.I had a singleton puppyy delivered by c-section to a maiden dam and she didn't produce enough milk to keep the little guy fed. I had to take over feeding after 36 hours of him dropping weight. I was tube feeding every 2 hours, 24 hours a day. He had no interest in the other bottles/nipples that I tried to introduce. I was sleep deprived and feeling mighty stressed every time I had to tube him.I finally decided to bite the bullet and try this thing even though it had less than 3.5 stars amd was close to $50.I ordered the large size which was the perfect size for my 4 day old labrador puppy. The thing is uber soft. To be honest it's feels a little reminiscent of male silicone s@x toy, 😆 IYKYKThe puppy took to it immediately! No fuss, no fighting to get it in his mouth.I wanted to know exactly how much he was getting at each feeding so I used a syringe to measure much I added to the ball. Then I held the ball in my hand with it tilted towards one nipple. Once he was done feeding if there was any extra I used the syringe to suck it out. Subtracting any volume that was left from the volume I put in, I knew exactly how much he was getting.It's easy to clean with hot soap and water. The whole thing can be turned inside out to make sure you get all the crevices.Totally worth every penny10/10 would highly recommend giving it a shot!

I was skeptical but it works great!!!
I did not have high hopes for this product at all. So many puppy feeders are just junk. They leak too much or not enough flow, they fall apart or don't work at all. Not this one! This one works great for my foster pups. They have no mama dog so this is what I got for them and they are doing great. Pros - easy to clean, good moderate flow - puppy controls flow, soft and realistic feeling, milk inside of it stays warm. Cons - the puppies get really excited and knock it off the stand sometimes and then the lid pops off and spills the milk. I really don't have any other cons at the moment. Some tips though - you can't just put it out and set the pups in front of it and walk away. You have to guide them and stay with them in case they pop off of it. In other words, it's still hands on. You have to "train" them on it. It helps to pull them back a little at first until milk flows, then you can let them do their thing. I put one puppy on at a time until they're latched. I just watch them and they will fall off on their own when they're full. I have five pups so whichever is full first, I put the last one on. If you try to do all at once, it will be chaos and just make a huge mess. Be patient and stick with it. My pups were using it successfully day one and they're just over a week old. I put the feeder on the stand so it's about 2 inches off the ground. This feeder has helped reduce frustration among the pups and went from individual feedings that took well over an hour and a half to everyone fed and cleaned up in less than 30-40 minutes and NO screaming pups while they are hungry and waiting for their turn. Again, raising bottle babies is not an easy task and even though this makes life easier, it's still hands on!!

Never was able to get it to work. No matter how hard I tried to modify it.
Its made of silicone which makes it soft, but that also makes it impossible to drill a pathway through the 'nipples'. The holes are way too small to let any liquid through. They give you a small tool that you are supposed to use to expand the holes so liquid can flow. Its a thin file. Like a needle but instead of the sides being smooth, it is a fine grit diamond file.While testing it over and over I could barely suck any liquid through it. I mean just a few drops. If I cant do it a kitten certainly cant do it. I even tried a small thin drill which ended up catching the silicone and shredding a small hole through it. That one worked a little but then would just keep dripping.I just gave up after a week of trying. Momma kitty just kept eating pretty much all the time to produce enough milk, until we were able to wean them onto kitty food.I modify things to make them work the way I like all the time. I never got this one to work at all.Good luck to anyone that tries.

Never would use
Puppies 4 never would use. Ideas great but waste of money. To be fair very well made just they didn’t take to it. 3 stars is for quality!

Puppy Milk Feeder
Product never worked for our new puppies. Great design and maybe we just did not put a big enough hole into it. Not sure, but did not want to ruin it.

Life savor
The media could not be loaded. I fostered a mama dog (small size mixed Terrier) who ended up to have 9 puppies, 1 died during the birth. The birth messed her health up she went septic after having 9 puppies and had to stay at vet for weeks, so I had to bottle feed all 8 puppies while being a full time student and working full time mom with 3 kids. This formula feeder saved me so much time. I started the pups on it from few days old and it only took them few days to get used to it. Once they opened their eyes, they would immediately know this feeder is to feed them they would run right to it if I put it inside their box. Yes, it needs to be supervised because most of the time the pups might be too hungry they got impatient and the nipple felt out of their mouth. The only thing I took off a star was because the base and the design make it very wobbly. These are tiny pup sizes (the pups were small like Chihuahua pups) and they would be able to knock these off (after a month old) if I am not there to watch their meal.

A must for large litters
This is a great product and sure comes in handy with large litters. A must to have on hand!

Great for small critters!
I bought these just in case my rabbits needed help after breeding. Shortly after arriving my cat brought home some baby wild bunnies and they took to these nipples so well!The only issue I had was sharp little teeth easily cut through one of the nipples. Not really anything because of the design just something to be aware of.

It is very soft. Bottom heavy
I liked that it was heavy for its size. I had heard that some times they came with too large or small of holes.This one seems to work fine.I bought it in advance of my dog whelping for the second time.The first litter was 11.This time she only had 8. So I will not get to actually use it.

Hilfreich
Auf jeden Fall sehr hilfreich bei größeren Würfen oder wenn man zufüttern muss.Allerdings muss man dabei bleiben, der Deckel kann problemlos geöffnet werden, bzw. es fällt leicht um.
