If you have pets and live in a region where snow and ice line your walkways, you’ve likely looked for “pet safe” products to melt the hazards outside your door.
If you simply read the front label of the container, you will be lead to believe many products are safe for your pets. But are they really? The answer is no. If you go out shopping, turn over the container and read the back. If you see CAUTIONS and WARNINGS, read further. A truly “SAFE” product doesn’t need warnings and cautions.
I found this interesting article that explains ice melt products and what is truly safe for your pets.
I think Fido and Feefee deserve some consideration, don’t you?
Here is one product I found that seems to be the safest on Amazon.
Just use salt. It’s safer. And animals tend to eat only as much salt as they need.
It will kill your plants, concrete and can harm them if they lick their paws excessively.
Good point.
