Tameside Tails on Trails

An iPhone app for people with dogs. Plan the walk, track it live as you go, and keep everything you need to know about your dog in the one place you always have on you.

Built for iPhone. Everything about your dogs and your walks stays on the phone, behind a PIN. Only your email address leaves, and only to run your subscription.

What it does

The whole walk, start to finish

Getting a dog out of the door is a small routine repeated hundreds of times a year. The app is built around that routine rather than around a feature list.

Know where you stand

Walks this month, dogs on the account, and the next walk in the diary. If a walk is being tracked right now, it says so and gives you the distance so far.

It stays on your phone

Your dogs, their medical history, your address, your walks and your photos are held on the device and opened with a PIN. The only thing that leaves is your email address, which runs your subscription and goes to nobody else. You can decline to give it, and some subscription features will simply be unavailable.

Ready when it matters

Sixteen first aid topics and a tap-to-call emergency vet line, there whether or not you have signal to look something up.

In the app

Plan it, walk it, remember it

Plan the walk before you go

Pick the dog, choose the kind of walk — solo at their own pace, a group walk with dogs they know, or a short gentle one for a puppy — then set how long, when, and where.

Add the things you would otherwise forget: take the long lead, avoid the road. It goes in the calendar, and the month view shows every walk at a glance.

  • Solo, group and puppy walks
  • Thirty minutes to two hours
  • A month calendar with every walk on it

Track it live as you walk

The route draws itself on the map as you go, with distance, elapsed time and pace underneath, and how accurate the fix currently is.

One tap logs the things worth remembering afterwards — a wee, a poo, water, a treat, a written note or a voice memo — against the point on the route where it happened. Hold the button to finish, and the walk joins your history with its distance, duration and pauses.

  • Live route, distance, time and pace
  • Wee, poo, water, treat, note and voice
  • Every tracked walk kept, with the numbers

Everything about your dog, in one place

Annual booster, kennel cough, flea and worming, each with what is due. Weigh-ins charted over time so you see the trend rather than a single number.

Allergies, medication with dose and timing, ongoing conditions a walker should know about, your vet with a tap-to-call number, the microchip number and the insurance policy. Kept for you and whoever walks your dog — not shared with your practice, and no substitute for their advice.

  • Vaccinations, with what is due
  • Weight charted over time
  • Vet, microchip and insurance to hand

First aid, for the day you need it

Sixteen topics, searchable and filtered by emergency, injury, illness or environment, with the 24-hour emergency vet line pinned to the top of the screen.

Each one is written as numbered steps you can follow one-handed under pressure — choking, CPR, suspected poisoning, bloat — with different instructions for a small dog and a large one. Every topic ends by telling you to get it confirmed by a vet, because it is guidance and not an examination.

  • Sixteen topics, searchable
  • Emergency vet on the first line
  • Steps, not paragraphs

Your dog, your phone

It all stays on the device

The app opens on its own PIN. Your dogs’ details, your walks, your address, your emergency contact and your photos are held on the phone and stay there. The single exception is your email address, which is held so your subscription can be allocated to it. It is not sold, not rented and not passed to any third party. You can decline to give it at all, though some subscription-based functionality may then be unavailable. There are no adverts in the app and no third parties processing anything, by design.
