Launching 2026

Know the ground before your dog does.

Air temperature tells you nothing about the pavement. SafePaws turns live weather into a ground-temperature forecast, reads the surface ahead of you, and says something before it burns.

Free to download. Premium from $4.17/month, billed annually.

The problem

One air temperature. Six very different grounds.

Every surface below was measured on the same 90°F afternoon in full sun. The gap between the coolest and the hottest is 46 degrees — and only your dog is walking on it barefoot.

Ground temperature by surface

Grass 88°F Safe
Dirt trail 94°F Safe
Shaded concrete 99°F Safe

Dashed line: 125°F, the point where paw pads begin to blister. Scale 80–140°F
Features

A safety layer between their paws and the pavement.

No collar, no wearable, no extra hardware. Everything runs from the phone already in your pocket.

Paw-burn forecast Free

Live air temperature, sun angle, and UV become an hour-by-hour ground-temperature curve for your exact location — so you know at 9 AM whether 2 PM is walkable.

Live surface scanner Premium

Point the camera down the path. SafePaws classifies the ground ahead — grass, concrete, asphalt, gravel — and flags hot stretches before your dog reaches them.

Safest-route planning Premium

Shade, grass, and surface heat on a live map. Follow the coolest route instead of the shortest one, with the cool-down time for every stretch.

Community hazards Free

Broken glass, spilled chemicals, an aggressive dog off-leash. Report it once and every walker nearby sees it on their map within seconds.

How it works

Three seconds of setup. Then it just watches.

Add your animal

Breed, coat, age, and paw sensitivity. A husky in July and a greyhound in October get different warnings.

Check before you leash up

The home screen already knows your weather and today's pavement curve. Green means go, red means wait.

Get the tap on the shoulder

Heat spikes, the surface changes, or a hazard is reported ahead — one clear alert, no scrolling required.

Pricing

Free to walk. Premium to walk smarter.

Heat alerts, the hazard map, and walk tracking are free for everyone, permanently. Premium adds the scanner and route planning.
