Fun way to keep your dog cool this Summer! This Big Mouth Hoop Sprinkler is from PetSmart. Both my golden retrievers KB & KENZO were so super excited. It's a non-stop fun especially going in and out of the hoop. The water sprays out around the hoop with 3 spray zones and 360 degrees soak zone.

Here are 4 places: 1) Chromatic Gate - located at 721 E Cabrillo Blvd , 2) Mission Rose Garden , 3) Old Mission located at 201 Laguna St, and 4) Stearns Wharf West Beach (you can take your dog for a walk along the path but beach is not dog -friendly). Santa Barbara is one of our favorite weekend gataway.
