About Good to Walk

🐾

Good to Walk is a free, UK-focused tool that tells dog owners instantly whether it's safe to walk their dog based on the current local weather conditions.

Enter your postcode (or share your location) and we'll give you a real-time safety rating — from Safe to walk through to Too dangerous — tailored to your dog's breed, size, age, and health status.

We built Good to Walk because heatstroke is one of the leading causes of preventable dog deaths in the UK every summer — and most of them happen during walks. A simple check before you head out can save your dog's life.
