Air temperature tells you nothing about the pavement. SafePaws turns live weather into a ground-temperature forecast built around your animal's own burn threshold — and tells you when to wait.
Free to download. Premium from $4.17/month, billed annually.
Over Nova's 125°F burn point. Keep it short, or wait for the ground to cool.
Every surface below was measured on the same 90°F afternoon in full sun. The gap between the coolest and the hottest is 46 degrees — and only your dog is walking on it barefoot.
No collar, no wearable, no extra hardware. Everything runs from the phone already in your pocket — and the split below is exactly what you get for free and what Premium adds.
Yours forever, no account and no trial clock.
Live air temperature, sun and UV become a ground-temperature estimate, judged against your own animal's burn threshold rather than a generic number — plus how long a walk should be today.
Hold up the phone for a quick read on the ground in front of you. The estimate comes from local weather — the camera is a viewfinder, not a sensor, and it works without it.
Broken glass, spilled chemicals, an aggressive dog off-leash. Mark it once and your map remembers it, so the next walk down that street isn't a surprise.
Vaccines, medications, grooming and vet visits in one list, each with a reminder on your phone before it is due. Set the cadence once and it repeats itself.
What to do first for heat stroke or burned pads, your own vet one tap away, and the nearest practices around you when you are not near home.
Three additions, on the $6.99 monthly or $49.99 yearly plan.
The ground temperature for the hours ahead, so at 9 AM you know whether 2 PM is walkable — and roughly when the evening brings it back under the burn point.
Route, distance, moving time and ground temperature sampled through the walk. Saved on your device, and shareable as a plain-text report when someone needs proof.
Distance, pace and heat exposure across every walk you've recorded, so you can see what a hot month is actually doing to your routine.
Breed, coat, age, and paw sensitivity. A husky in July and a greyhound in October get different warnings.
The home screen already knows your weather and what today's ground temperature is doing. Green means go, red means wait.
Start a walk and SafePaws logs the route, the distance and the ground temperature as you go. Care reminders are the one thing it will interrupt you for.
Everything you need to decide whether to walk is free, permanently. Premium adds the hours ahead, walk recording and the trends across them.
