## What is Walkies Weather?

It can get really cold and really hot out there, throw in snow or rain and you're okay with your jacket but what about your furry friend? Walkies Weather lets you know if the weather is okay for them or if it's dangerous. 

To make sure your doggo will be okay on their walk the app takes into account many factors such as:
- Feels like temperature, 
- Precipitation levels, 
- Your dogs size, 
- Your dogs breed, 
- Your dogs age, 
- Your dogs weight,
- If your dog is used to cold,
- If your dog is wearing a coat.
- If your dog has access to water.
- If your dog has access to shade.

Our algorithm is adapted from scientific research from dog scientists. (Scientists who study dogs, not dogs who do science).

### 2/5 — Untrustworthy

*2026-07-13, version 3.1.0*

I wanted to love this app — the concept is exactly what dog owners need. But the algorithm has serious problems that make me unable to trust it.

The Now screen and Hourly screen give contradictory safety ratings for the same conditions. At 9 PM, the Now tab said 79°F (feels 84°) was "potentially life-threatening" for my dog, while the Hourly tab said 83° and 87° were "nothing to worry about." Those can't both be right.

The bigger issue is there's no gradient between green and red. It's either "have fun outside" or "potentially life-threatening" with nothing in between. One hour it's green, the next it's red. There's no caution zone, no "keep it short and bring water" middle ground. That's the exact situation I downloaded this app for — the days that feel fine to me but are pushing it for my dog. Without an in-between state, the ratings feel arbitrary and I can't make good decisions from them.

I was a premium subscriber but I'm canceling. The idea is great, the execution needs a lot of work on the underlying algorithm before I'd trust it with my dog's safety.

### 2/5 — Not clear or working

*2025-06-22, version 3.0.2*

This seems to be the only app I can find for the information I am looking for, but I can’t get the right information. I have a pit bull/retriever mix medium-large sized and I can’t change or represent her properly in the app. I keep trying to put it to medium but it’s stuck on small. The breed options are weird. I don’t fully understand the information. I’m confused greatly by why I can’t fix this easily.

### 1/5 — 30° is not ok for a puppy

*2025-06-21, version 3.0.2*

I like the idea of this app and the layout was appealing etc. 

Unfortunately I found it to be completely inaccurate when it comes to dog safety. Telling me that my 17 week old puppy ‘should be ok’ in 30° heat is utter nonsense. 

I would like to point out that all my settings were correct. But even if they weren’t, there is no dog on earth that would be safe walking in 30° heat…. Regardless of age, breed, weight, long nose, short nose etc… 
30° is DANGEROUS and therefore I feel the app could be misleading. 


Inaccurate advice which could cost someone the health/life of their dog and which would also cause burnt paw pads and dehydration very quickly. 

I would suggest using common sense, rather than this app.

### 1/5 — Racist & Homophobic

*2024-06-21*

These people are racist and homophobic and should be shut down!

### 5/5 — A need for pet owners

*2022-05-24, version 2.2.2*

I’ve been looking for an app like this for awhile now as I never want to burn my pups feet. 

I just wish we could specify the breed/coat color. I have a black lab, so I know she gets warmer than say a short coat white dog. Would be an amazing feature to have

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2021-11-16, version 2.2.2*

The app is so awesome and I love that I includes my dogs but I would love it even more if you could add a coat button like the water and shade and if you could add a poodle button like the heavy coated,short nosed and northern that would be awesome but every thing else is grate.thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Dog’s best friend app

*2021-04-15, version 2.0*

I love this app. I asked a few questions about your dog which are quite easy to answer then after that it tells you whether the weather is perfect to take your dog out he asks whatever you’re taking water out and it will update whether they’ll be shade is the best app for walking my best friend I wish I found this at a hell of a lot earlier he said it a few years later

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-18, version 2.0*

Great app just want to make a suggestion because we have a dog with short hair that we put a jacket on and I would love it if you add a button like the water and shade possible thanks.

### 5/5 — Peace of Mind

*2019-09-17, version 1.4*

While visiting family in Florida I was constantly questioning (and disagreeing with relatives)the dogs being out and for how long. I looked up charts, but this app was more convenient and we all agreed to follow it. When it said it was too hot no one tried to take the dogs out. Curious if it will work for the cold weather when I get back home.

Raining Dogs is back but with a new name, Walkies Weather! I've updated and changed a lot.

The app now uses your device to store your data and syncs it via iCloud, this means there is no need to sign up or sign in and all of your data stays in your control.

There has been a lot of other changes to that make the app quicker, easier to use, nicer to look at and more accurate in it's recommendations.

Another small update but a nice one. In this update we have made the Raining Dogs widget a little more beautiful by making it’s background colour change based on if it is raining, day time, or night time. We think it looks a lot nicer when next to some of the Apple Widgets and other popular widgets.

Fixed a bug where the subscription view would show you had a yearly subscription when you have a monthly subscription.
