5-Level Paw-Safety Rating
A paw-shaped gauge shows the estimated road-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 sunny 30°C (86°F) day, asphalt can soar past 60°C; air temperature alone won't warn you, and Canadian summers get hotter than most people plan for.
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 sidewalk 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-Time Purchase, No Ads
Pay once and it's yours. No ads, no subscriptions, no account, no data collection. Works in °C or °F. Just open the app and know.
Hot pavement burns paws. On a sunny 30°C (86°F) day, asphalt can soar past 60°C — hot enough to burn your dog's paw pads in under a minute. Air temperature alone won't warn you, and Canadian summers get hotter than most people plan for.
PawWalk estimates the actual road-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.
