5-Level Paw-Safety Rating
A paw-shaped gauge shows the estimated surface temperature right now and rates it on a clear 5-level scale — from Good to go all the way to Do not walk. On a 35°C summer scorcher, the footpath can climb past 60°C; the air temperature alone won't warn you, and from December to February the ground stays dangerous for hours.
48-Hour Safe-Walk Timeline
See today and tomorrow at a glance. The timeline highlights the walk-friendly windows — early morning, after sunset, whenever the bitumen has cooled down — so you know exactly when to head out.
Live Activity on Your Lock Screen
Start a walk and the elapsed time and current heat level stay right on your Lock Screen. No unlocking your phone mid-walk.
Tuned to Your Dog's Size
Small dogs walk closer to the hot ground and heat up faster. Tell PawWalk your dog's size and the rating adjusts — stricter for small breeds, standard for larger ones.
One-Off Purchase, No Ads

Hot bitumen burns paws. On a 35°C summer scorcher, the footpath can climb past 60°C — hot enough to burn your dog's paw pads in under a minute. The air temperature alone won't warn you, and from December to February the ground stays dangerous for hours.
PawWalk estimates the actual surface temperature under your dog's paws and answers the only question that matters, at a glance, on a clear 5-level scale: Good to go, Mostly fine, Caution, Danger, or Do not walk.
