Can I wash my pet's water bottle and nozzle in the dishwasher?

Question

What is the best way to clean his water bottle? Especially the nozzle that he drinks from, Q-tips don't seem to reach down far enough and my bottle brush is too thick. Can I run the bottle and nozzle in the dishwasher or would the chemicals hurt him? Or can I put the dishwasher on the sanitize setting with no dishwasher soap?

The bottle and nozzle can go in the top rack of the dishwasher. You can use dishwasher detergent or not. Either way, rinse both parts well after they come out then refill with clean water. Alternatively, you can use a pipe cleaner or find a small wire brush in the local hardware or home improvement store.
