55My 2 seniors loved this place so much. They passed a few weeks after our last visit here, 6 days apart. One of them had heart disease and the other couldn’t live without her best friend of 10 years and passed from a broken heart. They were reactive pups and got to enjoy their last care and judge free moments at their favorite place one last time. We decided to honor them by coming back with the remaining 2 of our pack. It brought us so much joy coming back and reminiscing on the times when we were all here as a family. Thank you for providing a safe space. To all those wondering about booking, please do. One of the best locations and my dogs have the best time here. You will build memories to last a lifetime. And maybe one day this place will provide you with comfort of your old pal who has passed as you bring in a new fur family member to enjoy this place as well. If I could rate a million stars I would.

FAQ About Helotes Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
