One plain answer for your own dog: too hot, too cold, or good to go. Built from live weather and the things that make them them. Then it looks after the rest of the walk.
Free to download. Premium from $4.17/month, billed annually.
No collar, no wearable. Free is everything you need to decide whether to go. Premium adds the rest of the day, and the record of it.
Yours forever, no account.
Open the app and it tells you, in one sentence, whether it's safe to take your dog out right now, and for how long.
Mark a loose dog, glass, ice or foxtails once. The pin stays until it stops mattering, and never leaves your phone.
Vaccines, meds, grooming and vet visits in one list, with a nudge before each is due.
First steps for heat stroke or burned pads, your vet one tap away, and the nearest practices around you.
$6.99 a month or $49.99 a year, after 7 days free.
The rest of the day at a glance, so at 9 AM you know whether 2 PM is walkable.
Route, distance, time and ground temperature, saved on your phone and shareable as a report.
Distance, pace and heat exposure across every walk you've recorded.
Name, size, age, and whether they're flat-faced. Each one changes the answer.
Green means go, red or blue means wait, with one line saying why.
Record it if you like. A care reminder is the only thing it will interrupt you for.
Deciding whether to walk is free, forever. Premium adds the hours ahead and the walk record.
Cancel anytime. Prices in USD, billed through Google Play.
Air temperature says little about what your dog is standing on, in summer or in winter. This is the gap SafePaws works out for you, with the same numbers the app runs on.
Small, thin-coated, very young or elderly animals start losing heat faster than they can make it. SafePaws works out where your animal sits from its coat, age and size. It isn't one number for every dog.
Frozen paths crack pads, ice cuts them, and the salt spread to melt it burns. Under a clear night sky an exposed surface sits several degrees below the air, which is why frost forms while the thermometer still says the mid-30s.
Below this the guidance stops making exceptions: hypothermia and frostbite are a real possibility for any dog, whatever its coat. Wind gets there sooner: 20°F in a 20mph wind is 4°F.
Free on Android. One answer a day, and the rest of the walk looked after.
