Not veterinary advice

Everything on this site is general educational information. It is not veterinary advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it cannot account for your animal's medical history. Distance, duration, calorie and portion figures are population estimates that vary widely with metabolism, neuter status, medication, body condition and underlying disease.

Consult a licensed veterinarian before starting any weight-loss or exercise programme, particularly for puppies and kittens, seniors, flat-faced breeds, and animals with heart, respiratory, orthopaedic or metabolic conditions. You are responsible for decisions you make about your animal.

Routes and maps

Generated walking routes are suggestions built from open map data. They are not checked for traffic, surface condition, lighting, road crossings or whether a path is safe or public. Use your judgement, and do not follow a route while looking at a screen.

Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. Routing is provided by a Valhalla instance operated by FOSSGIS, and place search by Nominatim. This site is not affiliated with any of them.

Charities listed on this site

Organisations on the “Help some pets” page are listed for information, not as an endorsement. We receive nothing from your donation and have no relationship with them. Verify an organisation's current reporting before giving.
