55I have 2 spoos, one that likes to swim, one that doesn’t. The host has balls, water, etc. for convenience. My girl had a blast jumping in the water to get the ball, but my boy mostly ran around the yard. Pool was clean with steps to walk down, important for mr. scardy. I would definitely go again.Jane E.

55What a great time! I think I had more fun than my dog! Friendly host met me in front of his house and showed me the way to the pool. He had lots of amenities. I definitely appreciate the drinking water, toys, floaters, and even large dog life vest. The area and pool was clean. The pool was a cool temperature for a hot summer day. Only thing was lots of long dog hair, but that wasn’t an issue because we are swimming in a dog’s pool with our dog! Hope to come again! Vi M.

55Maxie’s pool was a delight. Sparkling water, tidy backyard and thoughtful amenities (water for dogs and humans, life vests for both, floatable fetch toys, waste bags, etc.).
The host was gracious in all communication, met us at the entrance and gave a quick useful tour of the space since this was our first visit. My dog enjoyed her time in the water.
There is a convenient ledge inside the pool bordering the fountain. Swimming from the pool entry steps to ledge is a nice short distance with safe end points for dog height, which might work well to introduce swimming to a dog new to the activity.

55Will definitely be back. The host was very gracious and welcomed us in on our first visit and gave a brief rundown of the pool. Then let us do our thing. My dog wasn’t ready to get in the pool yet but had fun sniffing around the yard. I got in the pool to try to get her in and the pool was very clean and the water was nice temperature in a very hot day. It’s so nice that the host offers water and toys and sunscreen if needed. julie b.

55We really loved Maxie’s pool! The pool was very clean when we visited on a Saturday morning. The entire area is fully fenced and has some artificial turf and the pavers are a little irregular- so no one slips and falls.
There are a lot of amenities- toys, life jackets, floats, etc.
We’ll be visiting again, I’d highly recommend this Sniffspot.Leela P.

55We had a great experience at Maxie’s water park! As it was our first time, the host met up with us outside to let us in. The backyard was clean and spacious with plenty of toys, water, and treats for your pup. The pool was cold for us humans but Nala did not mind at all. I’m sure the pool will be perfect as the weather starts to warm up. Overall, I would highly recommend and will be visiting again soon! Angela Z.

FAQ about our Alamo 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 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.
