Dog Parks
Available from Apptika, the Dog Parks application offers dog park data for areas of California, Wisconsin, and New York.

Specific details like hours of operation, allowable leash lengths, and size of dogs allowed are just some of the data options available. If you happen to be planning a trip to California, Wisconsin, or New York, this app just might be worth the investment.

While this app won’t help you find a dog park, it sure can help you monitor your strides there and back. You can be exercising your fur-child and tracking your calories burned at the same time. This iOS program is helpful whether you’re on holidays with your pet or taking your pet for an evening stroll at home.
