55Clean, secure space. Lots of extras, towels and treats etc. So thankful to have found this perfect spot for giving a few swim lessons to my young dogs before they go out into bigger bodies of water. We loved it!

55Beautiful and quiet space to chill with your dog! My golden retriever and I had a relaxing time swimming in the clean, warm pool! The built in steps in the pool made it easy for her to get in and out. We will definitely visit again and 10/10 recommend! Christine J.

55We had the best time!!! Ok so my dogs aren't swimmers, but I dunked them in with their life vests on, they swam for about 6 seconds and slept for a whole day after. I have 12 year old huskies and I just wanted to cool then off. They spent most of their time exploring the beautiful huge yard, lots of shade, nice cool places to rest while I dipped my toes in the pool. It was like a dog/human resort: Towels on the comfy lawn chairs, a basket of water toys for dogs, two bowls of fresh water, I saw fresh flowers and dog treats on the bar area! It's is so amazing to know that there are people out there that care as much about our experiences with our dogs as we do. We will be going back often, even if my toes are the only things that get in the pool :)Jen J.

FAQ about our Lake Villa 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.

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.
