Every season has its challenges when you are a dog parent.
In the summertime, we have to make sure we keep our dogs hydrated and cool.
In the fall, we get together with friends and family more, which means food we have to keep away from the pups. In the springtime, our dogs may have more allergies.

And what happens to dog parents in the winter? We are wishing that we could keep bundled up, inside by the fireplace while our dogs magically let themselves out, and back in again.
But wintertime is no excuse not to take care of our dogs the way that they deserve. But what happens when you live in an area where many dog parks shut down for the season or you don’t want to walk your dog near roads which have been salted for snow? What can you do?
This year, we have introduced to you a new way of life for dog parent. Sniffspot. Simply put, if your dog isn’t social, or is elderly, or you are simply not comfortable with a dog park atmosphere, Sniffspot may be your answer. With Sniffspot, you can book a private yard or space by the hour for your dog to play, explore and simply be a dog!
All dogs are individuals, just like people. And all individuals deserve exercise in the way that works for them and in all seasons.

So we checked out the spots at Sniffspot to see what options are available for dog parents!

Read Tips On Getting Sniffspots near you
Winter may take more preparation on our part to get the exercise our dogs need. Here are some tips to winterize our plans!

1. In snow and ice, our dogs’ paws need to be protected. Consider wearing paw boots and moisturize.
2. Keep our dogs fueled! Pack high energy treats and snacks in easy open containers. Water is still important to carry in the winter. Don’t leave outside to freeze.
3. We’ve all heard not to leave our dogs in a hot car. That goes for cold cars too! Dogs can freeze quickly. Do not leave unattended.
4. Consider your dog’s age and tolerance of the cold.
5. Clean your dog’s feet gently when coming inside. Salt may be on roads and runoff.
6. Mental stimulation is key to getting thru the winter! That’s where Sniffspot comes in! There is no substitute for new places, smells and experiences. Put on your coat and book a Sniffspot for an hour!
A dog’s wellbeing and safety is is our hands. Give them exercise in the winter in a safe and fun way. And look for a Sniffspot near you! Put in your location on the free Sniffspot app or go to www.sniffspot.com.
As we travel the country, we will be looking for Sniffspots near us for the boys to get the exercise they need. But we may be headed south. These Florida folks are cold!
