Most ice melters used on sidewalks and driveways contain salt which can injure your pet's paws. The salt can irritate and burn the pads on your pet's feet. Pets can also ingest the salt by licking their feet or may eat it right off of the ground. If large amounts are ingested, the pet may show excessive thirst, weakness or fainting.
It's best to use a salt-free deicer. At Best Friends, we use Gaia Enterprises Safe Paw™ Ice Melter on all of our outdoor areas to protect our doggy guests. SafePaw is 100% salt free, non-toxic and environmentally safe.
Safe Paw is also available to purchase in our lobby.
