You can also buy glass water bottles as well, most carry some in the bird or small animal section (although I haven't looked at the dog water bottles to know how much the tube size differs from the small dog size.)
Lixit makes an awesome glass water bottle with varying tube sizes (although sadly I don't see them in literal stores anymore.) Amazon sells all of them with the various tube sizes if anyone is interested. (Just search Lixit Glass Bottles.)
The only downside is that they are square, so if you've already made your water bottle holder you'll need to make sure the circumference of your tube is big enough for it to fit. They also just sell the kits (
Amazon.com: Lixit Recycles Beverage Water Bottle... ) that let you use whatever glass bottle you want. (You are just buying the bottle stopper with tube.)
I don't use a water bottle with Winston, but I use the lixit glass bottles with my small animals and I love them to death (no plastic leaching... ever!)
