🐾 Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine if the weather is safe for pets?
We evaluate live data on temperature, UV index, air quality (AQI), wind speed, cloud cover, and rain probability. Then, we compare these to species-specific comfort thresholds to tell you whether it's safe for your pet to go outside today.
What types of pets are supported?
We currently support dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets. Each animal type has its own safety criteria based on veterinary recommendations and common pet care practices.
Can I use this tool anywhere in the world?
Yes! This tool uses public APIs from OpenStreetMap (for geolocation) and Open-Meteo (for weather and air quality data), which support locations worldwide.
Why is air quality important for pets?
Just like humans, pets can suffer from breathing problems due to poor air quality. Small animals like birds and guinea pigs are especially sensitive to pollutants like ozone, PM2.5, and smoke.
What does a high UV index mean for dogs or cats?
A high UV index (6 or above) can cause heatstroke, dehydration, and even sunburn for pets. It's best to avoid outdoor activity during peak sun hours and opt for shaded walks.
Is this tool useful for indoor pets too?
Yes. Even if your pet stays indoors, extreme weather can impact indoor temperature and air quality. You can use this tool to decide whether to ventilate rooms, close windows, or use air purifiers.
Can I check weather for tomorrow or next week?
Not yet. This tool provides the most accurate real-time conditions and short-term hourly forecasts. We may expand to include future-day predictions in upcoming updates.
How often is the weather and AQI data updated?
Weather and air quality data is updated hourly to ensure accuracy. The tool refreshes data in real time when you search for your pet’s safety.
Is the tool free to use?
Yes, this tool is 100% free to use and doesn’t require registration. We use only open and public APIs to ensure accessibility for all pet owners.
