Schorsch: Dog Hazard Radar

🐾 With Schorsch you walk your dog with peace of mind, because you know what is waiting on your route.

Poison bait at the edge of the woods, blue-green algae in the lake, shots from the shooting range, livestock guardian dogs in the pasture, fireworks or a storm on its way: much of what can harm your dog is something you only notice once it is too late. Schorsch shows you beforehand, on one map for the whole of Switzerland. Free and without ads.

💥 SHOOTING AND LIVESTOCK GUARDIAN DOGS
━━━━━━━━━━
Many dogs panic at the sound of shots. Schorsch knows over 1,600 shooting ranges and 80 military firing ranges and shows you at a glance where shooting is happening today. If it is about to start near you, you get a message in good time.

Livestock guardian dogs defend their herd, even against your dog on the lead. With Schorsch you know before you set off whether your route passes a guarded pasture.

━━━━━━━━━━
🗑️ HANDY ON THE WAY
━━━━━━━━━━
Over 14,000 dog waste bins and poo bag dispensers, so you never have to search for long. If one is missing, you add it yourself. If one is gone, you report it.

━━━━━━━━━━
📢 REPORTED IN A MINUTE
━━━━━━━━━━
Seen something? Choose the place, add a photo if you like and send: everyone walking a dog nearby is warned. You can also report a place you are not standing at, or a festival that only takes place at the weekend.

Anyone who has been there confirms a warning or reports that the hazard is over. That keeps the map up to date, and you can see what you can rely on.
