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 built around your animal's own burn threshold — and tells you when to wait.

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.

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 risk, right now Free

Live air temperature, sun, and UV become a ground-temperature estimate, judged against your own animal's burn threshold rather than a generic number.

Hour-by-hour ground forecast Premium

The ground temperature for the hours ahead, so at 9 AM you know whether 2 PM is walkable — and roughly when the evening brings it back under the burn point.

Ground Check Free

Hold up the phone for a quick read on the ground in front of you. The estimate comes from local weather — the camera is a viewfinder, not a sensor, and it works without it.

Verified walk recording Premium

Route, distance, moving time, and ground temperature sampled through the walk. Saved on your device, and shareable as proof when someone needs it.

Walk trends Premium

Distance, pace, and heat exposure across every walk you've recorded, so you can see what a hot month is actually doing to your routine.

Hazard map Free

Broken glass, spilled chemicals, an aggressive dog off-leash. Mark it once and your map remembers it, so the next walk down that street isn't a surprise.

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 what today's ground temperature is doing. 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.

Live paw-burn risk, Ground Check, and the hazard map are free for everyone, permanently. Premium adds the hour-by-hour forecast and walk recording.
