Know before you leash up

The answer is in the subject line. Something like “⚠️ Phoenix: no safe window — 159° pavement” or “Austin: walk before 9am — 121° pavement by 1pm”. If you never open the email, you still got the answer from your lock screen. That is the point.

Then, in order: a colour-coded verdict, the single number that matters (peak pavement temperature, with air temperature as context), and your safe windows as plain times. Below that, an hour-by-hour strip, a short explanation grounded in the actual numbers, and a note specific to your dog.

Tighter thresholds for dogs that need them. Flat-faced breeds, seniors and puppies overheat sooner, so their safe range is narrowed by about 5°F automatically. You pick this once at signup and can change it any time.

Choose any half-hour slot between 4:00 and 9:00 AM. It arrives at that time in your local timezone, which we detect from your browser at signup — no dropdown, and no getting it wrong. Daylight saving is handled automatically; the email does not drift by an hour twice a year.

If you move, change your city on your preferences page and the timezone follows it.

$2.99 per month, or $26.91 per year — the annual plan is 25% off, saving $8.97. There is no free trial and no introductory rate; you are charged when you subscribe and the price is the price.

Payment is handled entirely by Stripe. Your card details never touch this site — we never see them, store them, or log them. You can update your card, download invoices, or cancel from the billing portal linked on your preferences page.

The free pavement checker on this site stays free and always will. You are paying for the daily email and the timing, not for access to the forecast.

Unsubscribing cancels your subscription too.We will never leave you paying for emails you've asked us to stop.

• One click, both things. Use Unsubscribein any email footer, or your mail app's own unsubscribe button. The emails stop immediately and your billing is cancelled — no login, no form, no email to us.
• You keep what you paid for.Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you've already paid for, so alerts continue until then and you are never charged again.
• Changed your mind? The preferences page linked in every email has an undo button right up until that date. After it passes, just subscribe again.
• Prefer to do it in Stripe? The Manage billingbutton on your preferences page opens Stripe's portal, where you can also update your card or download invoices.

If you're having trouble

• Lost the email with the link? Every alert we send contains it in the footer — check any one of them. Search your inbox for alerts@mail.pawforecast.com.
• Link says it's no longer valid? That address has already been removed. Nothing further is being sent — but if you are still being charged, contact us and we will refund and cancel.
• Emails stopped but you're still being billed?That shouldn't happen — the two are linked. Email us with the address you subscribed with and we will cancel and refund it.
• Nothing arriving? Check spam, and add alerts@mail.pawforecast.com to your contacts. Gmail sometimes files a new sender under Promotions.
• Still stuck? Contact us — a human will sort it out. We would rather refund you than have you fighting a form.
