What NorthPaw focuses on
Score risk for your dog
The NorthPaw Index adapts to snout profile, coat type, and activity baseline.
Plan without accounts
Dog portraits, notes, checklists, and reminders stay local on the physical device.
Pavement safety, translated into action
NorthPaw estimates surface temperatures using local air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and solar load from sky cover.
Thermodynamic timeline
Compare asphalt, concrete, sand, and artificial turf risk windows through the day.
Canine-weighted NPI
Flat-faced, thick-coated, and high-energy dogs receive earlier warnings when conditions demand it.
Dynamic checklists
Rain can trigger paw towels, high NPI can flag extra water, and sand or turf can change paw protection notes.
Release focus
Built for the small decisions that make outdoor dog life safer.
Surface timeline
A plain-language read on when each selected surface may be comfortable, cautionary, or unsafe.
Profiles & pack lists
Checklist suggestions adjust to weather, selected surfaces, and your dog’s cooling and fatigue profile.
Offline field guide
Local library cards cover hot pavement thresholds, heat stroke signs, plant toxins, and tick detection.
Photos are illustrative. Early access still helps shape what ships first.
Built for real dog outings
- Neighborhood walks across heat-holding pavement
- Beach days where sand risk changes quickly
- Sports fields and artificial turf that can spike under sun
- Trail days that need offline reminders, field cards, and tick checks
NorthPaw is for people who want practical safety context without accounts, login walls, or background location tracking.
Why NorthPaw feels different
Weather apps
Show the forecast, but do not estimate what pavement or turf may feel like to paws.
Pet apps
Track records and routines, but rarely calibrate outing risk to your dog’s physical profile.
NorthPaw
Combines surface heat modeling, dog-specific NPI scoring, dynamic checklists, and local reminders.
