55How unfortunate that this was our first sniff spot experience. The fact that this is now the sniff spot that all other sniff spots will be measured by just seems unfair! The dogs had a blast, access was easy, it was clean, we saw alpacas, we did a wine tasting after, and we fed goats. We will be back. What a perfect spot! Anna S.

55Clean, secure enough for my dog and it was great because he’s very reactive with other animals and the alpacas were just very very calming for him so it worked out great was really a nice spotKathy M.

55This was our first visit and we didn’t know what to expect but it was excellent. The host provided fresh water. The property was fully fenced. The dogs had a blast. The neighboring alpacas were fun to see. Thank you. We truly enjoyed it. Nicole R.

55Great place to play! My dog had a blast running around, the place was fenced properly, with fruit trees right outside which was beautiful to look at, and the alpaca’s were so cute and harmless, my dog is usually very reactive but didn’t react to them at all since they were so calm! will definitely return!

55Large grassy spot to run around. There are no trees within the fenced area so line of sight is far and it’s easy to play fetch. We had a great time and saw the alpacas at a distance :) There is a road that runs along one side of the sniffspot but it wasn’t very busy when we went. Mayka W.

55I really liked this place! Tons of room for the dogs to play and the llamas were interesting to them too. It was a little wild which made sniffing more fun for the dogs. Will come back. Olga P.

55Great area to let my two corgis run around. Not a lot of traffic nearby so relatively quiet, and the dogs loved getting to say hi to the alpacas over the fence. Owners are very personable. Would recommend! Jeffrey A.

55My dogs loved exploring this beautiful spot. It's on a hill, and there's some sharp grass/weeds, so I'll probably wear longer pants next time. The host supplied plenty of water, doggy bags, and tennis balls. The entrance of the winery shares a fence with the Sniffspot, so our reactive dog got a little triggered on our way out. There are plenty of trees for shade, and our dogs loved rolling on the daisies.Jenny P.

FAQ about our Parksville small dog parks
Are small dog 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Parksville?
There are 6 small dog parks in the Parksville area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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 small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
