You got a notification hours after your walk, and nothing seems to be wrong. Don't worry — this one isn't a warning. It's a request for help.
What it is
The notification reads:
You passed a reported hazard earlier
Let us know if it is still there.
It arrives about four hours after your pet passed a hazard somebody reported. You already got the warning at the time — this is the follow-up asking you to tell everyone else whether the hazard is still a problem.
Why we ask
Danger reports fade out on purpose. A report nobody confirms drops off the map within 24 hours, and two people saying it's gone removes it straight away. Without answers from people who actually walked past, real hazards disappear too early and stale ones need a nudge to clear.
You're the person best placed to say — you were there.
What to do
- Tap the notification.
- Tap View danger to open the hazard on the GPS Tracker map.
- Answer Is the danger still here? with Still here or It's gone.
That's it. One tap, and the map is more accurate for the next owner.
Tip: If you honestly didn't notice anything — you were driving past, or your pet was in the car — it's fine to ignore it. Only vote on what you actually saw.
When you won't get it
The follow-up is skipped if:
- You've already voted on that report.
- The report has since been cleared by other owners.
- The report has expired.
So if you voted at the time, you won't be asked again.
It's not an emergency alert
This notification never means your pet is near a hazard right now. The live warning is a different notification, titled "Hazard reported near {your pet's name}" — see How hazard alerts work.
