Free Dog Tools for the Emerald Coast
Built these for local owners between sessions. No sign-up, no catch - just quick answers to the questions I get asked most on the driveway.
Too Hot to Walk?
Live pavement verdict for your ZIP, plus an hour-by-hour read on the rest of the day.
Enter your location and get a live verdict on whether the pavement is safe for paw pads right now, then see the whole day as a strip - one bar per hour, colored by a full verdict for that hour with your dog's risk factors applied. Built for Emerald Coast summers, where air temperature and asphalt temperature are two very different numbers.
Dog Exercise Calculator
Get a daily target by breed, age, and weight - and see how far short today actually is.
Answer a few questions about your dog's breed group, age, and energy level and get a daily target in minutes of real work. Tell it what your dog gets now and it names the gap in minutes per day and per week, which is usually the number that explains the restless evenings.
Is My Dog Overweight?
Skip the scale. A 30-second hands-on body check that estimates your dog's condition score - and tells you the next move.
A visual, hands-on guide for judging whether your dog is under, over, or at a healthy weight - the same 9-point framework veterinarians use. No scale required, and you can save each reading in your own browser to watch the trend over a season.
Puppy Exercise Planner
How much a puppy can safely handle, by age and adult size - and what the five-minute rule is actually limiting.
Enter an age and an expected adult size to get the growth plate window for that build, a ceiling on forced repetitive work, and an explicit statement that self-directed play on soft ground is not the thing being capped. Includes what to avoid at each stage, and why stairs matter more than minutes.
Dog Beach Checker
Can your dog go on this beach right now? Destin, 30A, Navarre, Pensacola Beach and PCB, with the ordinance behind each answer.
Pick a spot and get a verdict for this hour: allowed, closed until a set time, trails only, or not allowed at all. Handles the Walton County permit window, Pensacola Beach dog beach hours by season, and sends you to the nearest legal alternative with an approximate drive time. Every rule shows its source and the date it was last checked.
