I thought an ice melter that is pet safe should also be safe on concrete. To my surprise, I found my pavement and steps covered in scales, pitted and peeling. It happened with ONE USE. The concrete on the steps was flaking on the riser and pitting on the treads.It didn\u2019t end here. The pallets didn\u2019t melt and created a mess all over the place. They got stuck in the shoe grooves and got carried inside, on the rugs and carpets, spoiling everything. They left stains on carpets even after getting them washed with warm water.It didn\u2019t stop here also. It took things to another level to make me hate it, really.The next day, my pet started vomiting after his morning walk. I was worried sick about it and was bewildered by this sudden bout of vomiting. It was this so-called \u2018pet safe\u2019 ice melt, which contained a noxious cocktail of chemicals. My pet licked and ate the snow treated by this hazardous ice melt. So, it wasn’t an ice melt that’s pet-safe. It was confirmed..wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_bdd86c-36\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_bdd86c-36\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_bdd86c-36\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}Weather Forcast[wpc-weather id=”2654″ \/]A New HopeI was sharing my experience on an online forum when people started recommending Safe Paw. I wasn\u2019t ready, but they insisted and cleared all my apprehension. After gaining information from various reliable sources and lots of research, I reluctantly tried this product.Finding New loveI realized that Safe Paw is completely free from salt and chlorine. Not only is it safe for pets, but it also comes in colorful round granules. Colored pellets or granules make it easier to identify them in white snow. Even if they get crushed, they’re still easy to clean up with our vacuum, and they do not stain the floor or rugs. Moreover, the granules do not cut and bleed their paws.About concrete? It\u2019s safe and beautiful as new now. Therefore, I found it to be the only ice melt that is pet safe and doesnot harm the concrete as well. Solution: I keep them warm and cozy. I do not take them out often during those continuous snowfall days.
