55Cindy’s spot is very spacious, quiet, and private. A kiddie pool was provided along with plenty of toys. They even left a towel out for the dogs! I think it’s so generous for them to let us use their water beyond just having water for the dogs to drink. There is room for humans to relax as well. We can’t wait to come back!!Cynthia N.

55We had another great visit here. Both my dogs love it! My older guy sniffs around while my younger girl tires herself out playing fetch on the hill. She loves the big basket of tennis balls to choose from. Very clean and secure spot! Tracy B.

55This Sniffspot was amazing! Location was 6 min away from our condo in mission valley. We visited in the evening and the lights straining above the yard lit everything well. Clean yard with a variety of toys for the pups to play with. Cindy also provided a portable Bluetooth speaker, different areas to lounge and a towel. We’ll be back soon! Puppy P.

55Such a great experience! This was my first time using Sniffspot with my brand new nervous rescue puppy. He can jump super high so I was worried about making sure the fence was high enough that he couldn’t get out. The host was very accommodating and responsive! The yard was very safe and the fence was definitely high enough my pup couldn’t escape. The area was easily accessible and had everything you’d need for your pups! My dogs had a great time! Amanda D.

FAQ about our Desert Hot Springs dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Desert Hot Springs?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
