Hey! I'm Maureen, a high school student with some knowledge in chemistry, environmental science, and programming. Safepaws combines my love for animals and my wish for building helpful tools that help people and their pets to stay healthy and safe.
Iāve always been a huge pet lover, although I was unfortunately never able to own a dog myself for family reasons. However, I always spend time with friendsā and neighborās pets. As I interacted with them and their owners, I began to wonder what I can do to help these cuties be healthier. As someone interested in science and environmental issues, I decided to start with helping the dogs stay away from pollution and dangerous weather. I started this website hoping to use the tools and knowledge I have to make a small but meaningful impact.
Every year, many dogs fall ill or even pass away due to outdoor conditions that could have been avoided. Our mission is simple: help dog owners make safer decisions and raise awareness about environmental dangers to pets. With knowledge and daily mindfulness, I believe these dangers can be reduced.
Safepaws is a website designed to help dog owners protect their pets by monitoring local air quality and weather conditions. The site offers safe activity suggestions and gives clear warning levels when outdoor conditions may pose a risk to dogs. I also provided an info hub explaining how different environmental factorsā like heat, pollution, and chemicalsā affect dog's health.
Iām always working to improve SafePaws. If you have any feedback, ideas, or questions regarding the website, please feel free to reach out through email. Your input helps make this tool even more helpful for dogs and their owners.
