About this app

🐾 With Schorsch, you and your dog can enjoy relaxed walks because you know what might be lurking on your route.

Poisoned bait at the edge of the woods, blue-green algae in the lake, gunfire from a shooting range, livestock guardian dogs in the pasture, fireworks, or an approaching thunderstorm: you often only notice many things that can be dangerous for your dog when it's too late. Schorsch shows you these dangers beforehand, on a map of all of Switzerland. Free and ad-free.

💥 SHOTTING AND LIVESTOCK GUARDIAN DOGS
━━━━━━━━━━
Many dogs panic at the sound of gunfire. Schorsch knows over 1,600 shooting ranges and 80 military firing ranges and shows you at a glance where shooting is taking place today. If shooting is about to start near you, you'll receive a timely notification.

Livestock guardian dogs protect their flocks, even against your dog on a leash. With Schorsch, you'll know before you even set off whether your route leads past a guarded pasture.

━━━━━━━━━━

🗑️ PRACTICAL ON THE GO
━━━━━━━━━━
Over 14,000 dog toilets and poop bag dispensers, so you never have to search for long. If one is missing, add it yourself. If one is no longer available, report it.

━━━━━━━━━━
📢 REPORTED IN ONE MINUTE
━━━━━━━━━━ Seen something? Select the location, add a photo if needed, and submit: All dog owners in the area will be warned. You can also report a location you're not currently at, or an event that's not until the weekend.

Anyone who was at the location can confirm a warning or report that the danger has passed. This keeps the map up-to-date and lets you see what you can rely on.
