This design gives Safe Paw a two-way timed-release action, where the liquid component starts melting and breaking the surface tension while the crystal core penetrates and destabilizes the ice, melting it even faster. At this point, the traction agent has been applied, allowing you to safely walk on the ice while Safe Paw does its job. Remember, once the sun comes out, Safe Paw will concentrate the solar heat, making it work faster still. Once the ice is melted, Safe Paw\u2019s \u201cshield\u201d effect comes into play, giving you three more days before you even have to apply it again. Safe Paw is the only product on the market with all of these features, and its green pellet form makes it easy to distinguish from salt-based products.Get ready for winter with the ONLY Pet Safe Ice Melt you can trustBUY NOW ON PETCO.COMConclusionIn the end, it\u2019s important to try and test yourself.
