PawCast: Dog Walk Planner

Built for breed: a Husky and a Frenchie don't share the same weather. PawCast tunes your walk score to your dog — and finds the safest hour of the day.

Will it be safe to walk your dog this afternoon?

PawCast scans today's weather, pavement temperature, air quality, pollen, and UV — hour by hour — tuned to your dog's breed, age, weight, and coat — and gives you one clear 0-100 walk score.

A Husky and a French Bulldog don't share the same weather. PawCast knows that.

WHAT YOU GET

• Live walk score — 7-factor engine: heat, pavement burn, AQI, precipitation, pollen, UV, cold. Wind-chill corrected. Severe-weather override caps the score during storms.

• Best Walk Window — scans every hour of the day, picks the safest stretch, and respects your dog's sleep hours. No 2 AM suggestions. Smoothed transitions so the chart doesn't whiplash.

• Per-dog tuning — breed, weight, age, coat, and known sensitivities all change the weighting. A Husky's score and a Frenchie's score won't match in the same weather.

• Multi-dog Pack — set up every dog in your household. Switch between them on the home screen. Each one gets its own score, alerts, and walk history.

• Schedule walks ahead — pick a day and time, PawCast pins the planned walk to your home screen and sends a reminder 10 minutes before. Survives reboots. Cancel anytime and the reminder cancels with it.

• Live walk tracker — start a walk and PawCast records the GPS route, distance, pace, elevation, and step count from CoreMotion. Background-safe, survives lock screen.

• In-walk safety — paw-safety warning if pavement gets dangerously hot or cold mid-walk. Water-break reminders every 25 minutes once you're past the first half-hour. Head-home prompt if a thunderstorm cell drifts in.

• Walk Journal — every walk logged with score, route, weather, and notes. Weekly streaks. Health trends across months. Log a walk you forgot to start.

• Smart notifications — daily forecast, paw-safety alert (hot or cold pavement), pollen spike, air-quality warning, severe-weather cap, and best-window reminder. Scheduled with iOS calendar triggers so they survive reboots.

• Dog profile editor — name, breed, photo, weight, age, coat, and sensitivities. Edit any time. Add a new dog in 30 seconds.

• Insight engine — your walks are scored across the season so you can see how the conditions you walk in compare to the conditions your dog actually thrives in.

• 33 languages — German, French, Japanese, Spanish (LATAM and EU), Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and 24 more.

WHY OWNERS SUBSCRIBE

PawCast was built because every dog-weather app gives you the same number for a Husky and a Frenchie. That's not how dogs work. Pavement at 50°C burns paws in 60 seconds — but most apps just show you "feels like 38°C" and call it a day.

PRIVACY

Walk routes, dog profiles, and history live on your iPhone. PawCast does not require an account, does not sync your data to its own servers, and never sells your data. Approximate location is the only thing sent off-device, used to fetch local weather, air quality, and pollen.

SUBSCRIPTION

PawCast Premium is required to use the app. Pricing depends on your region and is shown on the App Store before you buy. Cancel any time in iOS Settings → Subscriptions.
