Too hot to walk your dog?
PawPrint makes the call.

Yes. The daily walk call, the live map, dog-friendly places, the community, and the lost-dog network are free forever. Premium adds deeper foresight on top.

Best time to head out (Premium): On hot days, the hour to aim for instead of guessing — and why. Dry spots nearby (Premium): When your area turns wet, the nearby areas that aren't — read off the same live nowcast. Watch up to 50 places (Premium): Track more places and receive weather-change alerts during walking hours. Checks are scheduled, so alerts aren't instant. PawPilot all day (Premium): 50 dog-aware asks a day instead of the free plan's 3, with the same practical planning help. The walk call itself — the decision, the reasoning and the confidence — is free and stays free.

No. You start free with a 7-day Premium trial — no card required. You only add payment if you decide to keep Premium after the trial.

You keep everything free, forever. Premium continues only if you choose to subscribe (S$11.99/month or S$99/year on the web, billed in SGD). Nothing is charged automatically without you adding a card.

Yes — in a couple of taps from your profile, no emails or phone calls. You keep Premium until the end of the period you've paid for.

Always. Raising the island for a lost dog is never paywalled — that is a promise, not a plan tier.

Yes. Your exact location is never shared. The community only ever sees approximate areas, and you control your visibility.

Every meetup, post, message and profile carries a report control. To stop someone reaching you at all, open their profile and tap Block: they can't message you, see your walks or send you a request, and their posts and meetups leave your app — and you can unblock from the same profile. We read every report. What is and is not allowed is at https://pawprint.live/legal/community, and a person reads support@pawprint.live.

The app does — your dog's profile, walks, the lost-dog poster and alerts all work anywhere. The walk call does not yet. It needs a weather source we are licensed to use, and today that is Singapore's official nowcast; elsewhere PawPrint says it has no licensed source for your area rather than showing you a reading it cannot back. We turn the call on for a region as soon as the source is in place.

It depends on the air temperature where you are, the humidity, how much sun has been on the ground — and on your dog. PawPrint reads the live local weather against your dog's breed and heat sensitivity and gives one call: go now, wait, pivot to a better spot, or stay in. A flat-faced breed — a Frenchie, a Pug, a Shih Tzu — gets a lower threshold automatically, and you can mark any dog heat-sensitive yourself.

Asphalt in direct sun has been measured at around 52°C when the air is only 25°C (a Phoenix field measurement published in JAMA in 1970) — hot enough to burn paw pads. Press the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. If you cannot hold it there comfortably, walk on grass, take a shaded route, or wait for the surface to cool.

Heavy or fast panting, drooling, dry or sticky gums, bright-red gum colour, lethargy, disorientation, vomiting or collapse. A body temperature above 39.4°C is abnormal for a dog (VCA). Get your dog into shade, offer water, cool them with room-temperature water, and call a vet straight away. PawPrint is not veterinary advice.

Early morning and after sunset, when the air and the ground have both cooled. Midday sun is the worst of it, and the air temperature is only half the story: the surface a dog walks on holds heat for hours after the peak. PawPrint reads your area's live heat and UV and names the hour worth aiming for, instead of a rule of thumb.

You can use PawPrint to post a walk or look for shared walks on a map. Walk locations are shown as approximate areas; exact locations are not shared.

Start where you are: search your usual routes on foot, calling your dog's name, and ask neighbours and nearby shops. A US survey by ASPCA researchers found 14% of dogs went missing at least once in five years; 93% were found. Then post a lost-dog alert — PawPrint raises it with pawrents nearby and builds a shareable poster in seconds, and contact your local animal-welfare authority and nearby vets, because found dogs are often handed in.

Weather in Singapore: NEA via data.gov.sg. Everywhere else: Weather data by Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0). Walk calls are PawPrint's own estimates based on this data, not official warnings. PawPrint is not affiliated with NEA, Open-Meteo, or any government agency.

A weather app tells you the temperature; a chatbot tells you a general rule. Neither knows your dog. PawPrint reads the live numbers for where you are, runs them against your dog's breed and heat sensitivity, and gives you one call with the reasoning behind it — and it changes when the weather does.
