About This Product

The Original and the #1 Child and Pet Safe Ice Melt for over 20 years. Guaranteed environmentally safe - 100% salt and chloride free ice melt, guaranteed non-corrosive to all metals and non-conductive will not short out circuits. Nontoxic for animals and humans, safe around children and pets. Will not harm waterways, sensitive wetlands and concrete walkways. Received the Parent Tested Parent Approved Green Seal (PTPA). Works to a low temperature of -2°. Packaged in an easy to use 8 lb. shaker jug - no messy bags to split or break. Unused ice melt is good for years with an unlimited shelf life. (Coloration may change, however it does not change the effectiveness of melting snow and ice). Safe Paw Concrete Safe Ice Melt Pellets come in a non-staining green color easy to see where you have spread. No other ice and snow melter works like Safe Paw - It is totally unique. Safe Paw is a patented dual-effect compound. The liquid component starts melting ice instantly while breaking its surface tension. This allows the crystal core to quickly penetrate and destabilize the ice and speed up the melting process. All this while Safe Paw proprietary traction agent provides slip protection. Safe Paw attracts heat to make it even more effective Endothermic reaction takes advantage of a solar effect. Use half the amount you would normally use of salt.

Is it safe on a 24 year old concrete driveway that is partial damage by other salt products for winter
ByNov 3, 2024
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Safe Paw is advertised as safe for concrete, including driveways. However, the manufacturer recommends not using it on concrete less than a year old. Since your driveway is 24 years old, it should be safe to use. Because your driveway has some pre-existing damage, it's always a good idea to test any product in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't exacerbate the existing damage.

      I’ve not had that problem, maybe if you put down a small rug at the door you would ensure no issue? Hope this helps

        Safe Paw Ice Melt
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this in the past and have been quite pleased. Haven't had the weather yet this year to use. This doesn't seem to melt as fast as regular ice melt, it seems to work slowly. This has not ever harmed my dogs paws, he is a little Yorkie. This does not harm plants either as the melting and water run off. Looking forward to using again this Winter.

          Great Idea
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this bag of animal safe ice melt last week. I always use animal safe because I have two cats that go in and out even in winter. I worry about getting chemicals on their feet. This looks like it will be a good product to try.

            Safe for pets
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this on my back patio where my dogs go to release themselves. I like that these are pellets so they won’t get caught in my dogs’ paws or be drug into the house from people’s shoes. They are also safe for pets and attract the heat to keep the area free of ice.

              Great ice melter!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Safe Paw as a brand and they seem to care for the environment. I think this is the best ice melter. I love that it doesn't damage concrete and is safe for pets. It comes in a good size (22 lbs.) and can cover a good area. The formula seems to be concentrated and very effective.

                I don’t have any problem with the product. I have a problem with the way that it was delivered. I ordered three packages and two came in the proper plastic dispensary and one all the pellets just came in a box because obviously the plastic packaging broke so they just put all the pellets into a box which I did not appreciate.
