Public dog beaches can have a number of safety issues like potentially aggressive dogs, disease transmission, and general cleanliness. These risks are increased in off-leash dog parks, especially if park users don't have good voice control of their canine companions, bring dogs in heat onto the dog-friendly beach, or aren't required to have their pets vaccinated before visiting.
Thankfully, these concerns don't apply to private dog parks! Sniffspot private dog beach rentals are much safer than a public off-leash park. With Sniffspot all bookings are just you and dogs you bring with you. We require all dogs to be vaccinated or have equivalent titers to keep each dog beach clean. And every Sniffspot location is vetted and reviewed by guests — so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog based on firsthand accounts from fellow pet owners. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars!
If you're worried about your dog around the water itself at a beach park, you can keep safety your top priority when visiting with your furry friend by: Knowing water safety guidelines, always supervising dogs during water activities, learning canine CPR, making sure you know the signs of heatstroke or overexertion, looking for a location with plenty of shade, and considering private swimming lessons or individual swim sessions at a canine swimming facility first if you're worried about how your pup will do in a dedicated water park area.
