Safe Dog Walk

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.
