Keep Your Pets And Concrete Safe With Environment Friendly Ice Melts

With the drop in temperature, your pet is at risk of several injuries. The harsh snow and chemicals can leave your four-legged friend’s paw chapped or itchy, as well as with flaky and dry skin. 

Cleaning and grooming your pet is one way of protecting them from severe winter. However, you also need to be careful about the type of ice melt you’re using around them. 

Moreover, if you’re using rock salt or chemical-based ice melt, your property is also at a risk. As you may already be aware that chemical based ice melt can corrode your concrete and can damage your driveway. Therefore, you need an ice melt that does not damage concrete.

In this article, we will talk about the various ways in which rock salt or chemical-based ice melt can harm your pets and concrete. We will also guide you on how to keep your pets and concrete safe by using ice melt that does not damage concrete.

Let’s get started!

Deadly For Pets

The typical old salt is the most used deicer, and sodium chloride is also known as Halite. If the pets ingest sodium chloride, it can cause several health issues and be deadly for pets and even children. The problems start with mild ingestion and then lead to gastrointestinal upset. Moreover, it can also irritate the pet’s paws.

Environmentally Hazardous

Ice melt is environmentally hazardous because when the warmer days arrive, there will be surface run-off comprising calcium chloride or whatever substance ice melt includes. And these dangerous chemicals tend to pollute both flora and fauna. There are incidences of water supply getting polluted, aquatic life getting harmed, and flora or vegetation getting adverse impact. Furthermore, the concrete gets damaged, and when it seeps indoors then the flooring gets damaged. 

So, now as we know the extent of damage these ice melts may result into, here is an environmentally friendly ice melt option:
