About
Safe Dog Walk tells you whether it's a good time to walk your dog right now, based on the local weather and your own dog's risk factors.
HOW IT HELPS
• A clear verdict at a glance: good to go, take care, or wait.
• Personalised to your dog. Age, breed, size, and health conditions all change heat risk, so the verdict adjusts for your dog, not a generic average.
• Temperature and humidity together. High humidity makes panting less effective, so it counts as a reason for extra caution.
• Practical, plain guidance: how to walk today, the pavement heat check, and what to watch for.
• A safety hub with a heat-stroke guide and cooler-walk tips.
• Add more than one dog and switch between them.
GROUNDED IN UK VETERINARY RESEARCH
The guidance draws on peer-reviewed VetCompass research into heat-related illness in UK dogs. Most canine heat illness comes from exertion, not just hot weather, and can happen even on mild days, so Safe Dog Walk treats temperature as a guide rather than a guarantee.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account and no tracking. Your location is used only to fetch local weather, and it is never stored or shared.
Safe Dog Walk is a guide, not a substitute for veterinary advice. Always watch your own dog and head home at the first sign of overheating.
