Example alerts
Danger · Toxic algae

Blue-green algae reported — lakeside footpath

Can be fatal to dogs within minutes, and there's no antidote. You can't tell a toxic bloom by sight.

Danger · Palm oil

Palm-oil washup — strandline, west beach

White waxy lumps washed off ships. Dogs love the smell — and vets see poisonings after every washup.

Beach ban active

Dogs banned 1 May – 30 Sep — town centre beach

Seasonal restrictions carry on-the-spot fines — and the rules change from one stretch of sand to the next.

Paw-burn risk

Tarmac failed the 7-second test

If the back of your hand can't take the pavement for 7 seconds, neither can their pads.

Plus adder hotspots · Alabama rot cases · grass-seed season — all on one map.

How SafeWalkies works

1

Live hazards across the UK, updated as reports and warnings come in.

2
Check your route

See what's near your walk — algae reports, active bans, heat risk and more.

3
Clip the lead on, worry off

Walk knowing you've checked. Takes less time than finding the poo bags.

Built on verified public warnings — vet association alerts, UKCEH algae reports, council beach-ban notices and Met Office heat data — pulled onto one map.

Verified public sources — vet association warnings, UKCEH blue-green algae reports, council beach-ban notices and Met Office heat data — brought together on one live map instead of scattered across a dozen websites.

The whole UK at launch — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Their nose finds it first.
