Pets Should Not Be Exposed To These Ice Melt

Pet Safe Ice Melt

The winter months can be tough on our pets. They’re likely to slip on a patch of ice and hurt themselves, but that’s not the only thing they need to worry about. The chemicals in the ice melt your local city uses can also harm your pet in a variety of ways. You need Pet-Safe salt alternatives. Here are some common chemicals found in ice melts—and why they should be avoided:

Rock salt

Rock salt is one of the most common ice melters, and it’s also one of the most harmful. This is because it’s a chemical compound that can harm pets when ingested, even in small quantities. Rock salt can cause burns to paws and skin, digestive problems, eye irritation, and respiratory problems (including shortness of breath), and make dogs lick the salt off their paws—which then leads to stomach upset. Chemical based ice melt is one of the salt alternatives you must not use at all. Shovel snow blowers have disadvantages of their own.

Calcium Chloride

Calcium chloride can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. It can also be toxic to cats and dogs. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that calcium chloride ingestion leads to kidney failure in cats, while ingestion by dogs results in hemolytic anemia (red blood cell destruction), as well as fatal damage to red blood cells when ingested at high enough doses.

Potassium Chloride

Potassium chloride is a salt used to melt ice and snow. It can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, which can lead to burning or stinging. It may also be harmful if ingested; symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. Large amounts are fatal.

Magnesium Chloride

Magnesium chloride is also known as a salt, and it’s used to melt ice and snow. It’s found in the form of pellets or crystals, but unfortunately, it can be harmful if ingested by pets.

Ingesting magnesium chloride can cause digestive problems like stomach ulcers. All that salt isn’t good for them either!

You may be using ice melt to keep your driveway snow-free, but there are chemicals in these products that can harm them in a variety of ways. These chemicals can cause burns, eye irritation, and respiratory problems. Your pet’s paws come into direct contact with the ice melt when they walk on it, and they may lick their paws as a means of self-soothing. If they ingest too much of the chemical, they could develop vomiting or diarrhea; more serious side effects include seizures or death.
