What is PawSafe?

Your badges

Earn these by exploring the site. Badges save to your browser, not a server, so no account is needed.

How it was built

PawSafe is a fully client-side static site built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - no frameworks, no backend, no tracking. It uses your browser's local storage only to remember your badge progress and dark mode preference.

The content is adapted from an independent study research project on zoonotic diseases, with source material verified against CDC, WHO, AVMA, Mayo Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic publications.
