55The trails were great for walking
55The dogs had a wonderful time! This was our first time using Sniffspot and we were not disappointed. I definitely recommend West Willow Acres!
55Our dogs had the best time and the pond kept them cool even in the heat! Will definitely be back.
55THE best Sniffspot out there! My 4 dogs has the absolute best time and Mandy, the host, was truly amazing! Everything we needed was readily available, the grounds were beautiful and the pond was so fun for my dogs! We will absolutely be returning! We also did pictures and Mandy truly captured my dogs so well! So thankful!
55Place had well maintained paths to walk around. Check the map picture in the photos, which might help you to navigate. My beagle bruno enjoyed all the new smells and had a relaxing time next to the pond. Place looked secure with all the fences.
55We had a great time with Rosie. She’s never been offleash outdoors before and she wouldn’t stop smiling
55Great place for older dogs to easily get into and out of the water. Wonderful trails cut so the dogs had easy access to running in the grass. Super clean with no distractions!! Loved it!
55Worth the hour drive! My cocker spaniel Joey loved it out there. Bring bug repellent this Texas summer is no joke! Overall a lovely experience, the lawn was well kept and had a nice trail going through the land😊
55Beautiful spot; plenty of shade and my pups really enjoyed themselves on the trails, in the pond and bounding through the higher grass. 🐾😊
55My dogs loved it so much

Description

Welcome to West Willow Acres! Follow us on Instagram and tag us in your pics: @westwillowacres My husband, our dog, West, and I are so excited to share our little slice of heaven with you. The property is just over 8 acres and fully fenced with barb wire cattle fencing. The portion of the property around the house has more secure wire mesh fencing! We have lots of seating available, we just ask you don't come onto the porch for our dog's sake (: The property has meadows, trees, walking trails, and a pond for you and your pup to enjoy! Right off 35! Are you traveling down 35 with your pet? Take a pit stop at our Sniffspot and let your furry friend stretch their legs then be back on the road no problem!

Hazards

HONEYBEES 🐝 We are keeping honeybees on the back right corner of our property. The bees are kept inside of a fenced off shelter so that animals (including your doggos) can’t reach the hives directly. That being said if you are nervous about bees or allergic, we would recommend avoiding the back right corner of our property. We have signs warning you when you’re close and pointing you in a different direction. We have not found ticks on our dog even after running through the tall grass but I still recommend that you check your dog afterwards. Our neighbor does have cattle that will occasionally come up to the fence (please do not approach if your dog can be aggressive). There is always the chance of poison oak in the taller grass so humans should be vigilant. Also we have seen the occasional ant hill. Although we have not seen any yet, always be aware of snakes since we are in the country. As mentioned above, the fencing is mostly 5 strand barbed wire cattle fencing. See 7th picture in profile for reference. An escape artist could crawl through some parts of the fence if they really tried - but our dog never has.
