55I recently visited a fantastic Sniffspot. The backyard was very spacious, and the pool had a shallow end which was perfect for both the dogs and me. There was also a basket full of toys provided, so I didn't need to bring my own, and a bowl of water was available for the dogs. The hostess was very friendly and kind. I'll definitely be bringing my dog back again soon.Monica K.

55My dog enjoyed his swim & it was a great experience. I plan on taking him back. It was a very cool back yard & she came out & introduced herself & left water & poop bags & let me know about the bathroom if needed. It’s a great spot.

55This Sniffspot was a total gem. It definitely is a top location and my dog absolutely loved it. The pool was gorgeous and it has different levels so you or your dog don’t just drop straight into the deep end. There was a skimmer net available to clean up your dog’s hair so it was really easy. There’s also plenty of grass to dry off or play. We also had the pleasure of meeting Felicia and her 6 month old pup. Very sweet family and we cannot wait to come back. Laura M.

55We had the best time! This place is the best! Well worth every penny and honestly I would pay more for it. The location and environment is super welcoming and friendly. The host is more than amazing and we just had the best time. After a little bit, we asked if, their dog Stevie could come out and play with our pup and that just made the whole experience even better. Our dog loved Stevie. They played and played and we just had the absolute best time. I would recommend this place to literally everyone. Thank you thank you thank you for giving us fun day. We will book again!Dana B.

FAQ about our San Marcos 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 San Marcos?
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?

Dog water parks in the San Marcos area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog water park is Lab Livin. The most expensive dog water park is Lab Livin. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
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?
