How it works

Set up once. Check before you go.

Describe your dog

Breed, weight, coat, breathing. One sitting.

It reads your hour

Live local forecast, ground temperature included.

You get minutes

How long, what kind of walk, and when to go.

Built for your dog

Four reasons a dog overheats. Only one is a flat face.

A Greyhound, a Newfoundland and a Golden Retriever are all on the risk table. None has a short muzzle.

Airway

A short muzzle moves less air. Heat leaves slower than it arrives.

Bulldogs · Pugs · Boxers

Coat

A dense coat holds heat against the skin. Cooling lags the weather.

Chow Chow · Newfoundland

Mass

A heavy body makes heat faster than its surface can lose it.

Bullmastiff · Dogue de Bordeaux

Sprint

Built to sprint — they outrun their own cooling before it feels wrong.

Greyhound · Staffie

23 breeds, each with its own page.

Breed, weight, body condition, coat and breathing stack into one figure — the same one the minutes come from.

The walk

Which park still fits today?

Getting there spends the same budget as being there. Loppy ranks parks by the minutes your dog actually gets once the walk is counted.

Ground

The air is not what burns a paw.

Grass and asphalt, read separately, so you re-route instead of cancelling.

Care

A checklist that knows the breed

Teeth, folds, coat, ears — only the jobs this dog’s anatomy needs, each with its source.

Trends

Two numbers worth watching

Weight, and breaths per minute while they sleep. A slow rise matters more than one bad night.

Your readings stay free

Suspected heatstroke

Two taps. No signal needed.

The steps, your vet’s number and the nearest 24-hour hospital live on the phone. Cool first, call while you cool.

Why it costs anything

Some of it is a bill, every day.

Every portrait is billed per picture. Every saved location is its own hourly weather lookup. The written read is generated per dog.

The paid tier is the part that costs money to run. The safety maths does not.

Where the numbers come from

And what they cannot do.

Which dogs are most at risk

UK veterinary records covering more than 900,000 dogs, used to rank breeds by how often they actually present with heat illness.

Hall, Carter & O'Neill 2016, VetCompass

The weather where you are

Hourly temperature, humidity, wind, solar radiation and modelled ground temperature, refreshed each time you open the app.

How uncertain today is

Dozens of forecast scenarios are run through the model rather than one. On an unsettled day the estimate shortens automatically, and the app says so.

Open-Meteo ensemble forecast

Breathing and body condition

What you told it during setup, and anything you have logged since. Nothing is inferred about your dog that you did not enter.

Your answers

A guide, not a measurement

Published in the app too, next to the number it qualifies.

  • It does not know how your dog feels today. Illness, a bad night, or simply being older than the last time you checked are all invisible to it.
  • It cannot see shade, water, or what the ground is actually like on your route. Ground temperature is modelled from the forecast, not measured.
  • The step that turns weather into a number of minutes has not yet been validated against real outcomes. It is deliberately cautious, but it is an estimate.
  • It is not a substitute for a vet who has examined your dog.

Stop, whatever the number says

Heavy or frantic panting, lagging behind or wanting to stop, unsteadiness, or gums that look dark, grey or brick red. Get out of the heat and start cooling immediately.

My dog is not one of the breeds you cover.

Then setup asks you the two questions that matter instead — whether the muzzle is short and how they breathe — and works from your answers. An unsure answer always resolves toward the cautious reading.

Does it work without signal?

The emergency screen does, completely — the steps and your saved vet are on the phone. The forecast needs a connection; without one you keep the last reading, clearly marked as the last reading.

Is this a medical device?

No. It informs, it does not diagnose, and it does not replace a vet who has examined your dog. If you are worried about their health, call one.

It says 147 minutes but my dog is panting hard.

Go home and start cooling. The number is an estimate of a typical dog of that description on that hour's weather; your eyes are looking at the actual animal. The app says this next to the number, not in the small print.

Does the sitter have to pay?

No. One purchase covers the household, and anyone who joins with a code never sees a price screen at all.

Is it only for summer?

Heat illness is a summer problem, but a flat-faced dog's breathing, weight and daily care are not. The trend line, the checklist and the emergency screen are the year-round half of the app.

Check before the next walk.
