Works like a charm !

So helpful during summer! My dog’s paws got burned on hot pavement when it was 100°F outside. This app is such a useful reminder to check before heading out. Even when the air doesn’t feel too hot, the pavement can still burn your dog’s paws!

Update

In less than twenty four hours I received a reply!
I have redownloaded the app and it is awesome. I have sent the link to friends and family it’s a must have.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. You’re absolutely right... a Whippet shouldn’t be treated as a flat-snouted breed. That’s a gap in the current breed support, and I’m fixing it in the next update. NorthPaw is still very early, and feedback like this is exactly how I’m improving it. I really appreciate you pointing it out, and I’ll be testing the Whippet support carefully before the next release. I hope you’ll give NorthPaw another try as I continue adding more breeds and features. 🐾

Thank you, very helpful!

Ledger seems much happier after switching his playtimes to match the temperature guides. Highly functional, and easy to use. If you have a pet you need this app!

Response from developer

Thank you thank you! I'm glad you and Ledger are enjoying the app! Hope many adventures to come!

Northpaw is simple, easy to use, and does exactly what it sets out to do. A perfect experience for quickly checking the best times of day to do my dog walks or dog park excursions just as the heat wave is hitting. I can’t remember the last time I’ve downloaded an app that didn’t force account creation or an unreasonable subscription, and in this way, Northpaw is a breath of fresh air not requiring any of that. I wish there were a way to tip the developer, but other than that, great app, no notes!

Response from developer

This 100% made my day and was 100% what I was building this for. I appreciate the sentiment on wanting to tip - but really - if you can share it with all your pet loving parents and get more eyes on it that would mean so much more! Hope your fur baby appreciates it!!
