How PetPace is designed

Understand the decision logic behind PetPace.

Route before distance

PetPace prioritizes surface, shade, storm pressure, and social tolerance before distance. That keeps the plan more protective and more realistic.

Dog state over owner optimism

The tool assumes the dog’s age, energy need, and social mode should shape the walk more than a generic “daily target.”

Recovery is part of the outing

If a walk requires water, paw checks, or cooldown, those steps are included in the final brief rather than treated as optional extras.
