Who Is Responsible For Snow And Ice Removal?

Ice and snow removal from driveways, pathways, sidewalks, and parking areas linked to a property is the responsibility of the owner. It means that even though you and your neighbor share a space, it’s best to be safe and treat it as if it were your own.

Gaia Enterprises Inc. delivers 100% pet-safe and environmentally friendly winter products. Safe Paw, our flagship product, is the #1 selling pet-safe ice melt that does not harm pets, safe if ingested, and safe on all types of concrete.

If a pedestrian slips and falls on or near your property, you may find yourself on the receiving end of legal action. All residential property owners should check with their city or state to identify their responsibility for removing snow and ice during a storm

Condominium unit owners should also check with their association to see what responsibilities they would be responsible for. While most condo associations have contracts to keep the common spaces in good condition, it’s vital to understand your duties as a resident or owner.

How To Remove Snow And Ice?

Safe Paw non-toxic ice melt is safe to use around pets and children while still being gentle on concrete walkways. It has a crystalline amide core that is injected with glycols and has a non-corrosive structure. Unlike rock salt and other salt-based ice melting products, including potassium chloride or sodium chloride can only melt ice to a temperature of 24 degrees. 

Salt-based treatments take longer to work, and the crystals frequently remain on the surface of snow and ice for long periods before penetrating, posing a risk to pets and children if they ingest the contents. You won’t need as much Safe Paw as you would with other ice melting products. Safe Paw is a salt-free, non-corrosive product that is also good for the environment.

Where To Buy Safe Paw Ice Melter?

Safe Paw is a product that is easily available in the United States and Canada. It can be bought from Amazon, Veterinary clinics, pet stores, grocers, and drug stores. You can also use the store locator at the Safe Paw site to find the product locally.
