Best Ice/Snow Melt - Pet-Safe?
Now that I'm a homeowner - I have gone to Home Depot and gotten a snow shovel.
But I need to get some ice melting crystals. Lowe's and Home Depot were out of everything but rock salt - which is painful for my doggie's paws. I think calccium chloride is okay - or maybe something else? I want to get it in quantity - any suggestions as to what and where? Thanks!

Being a petowner, you should know this....they sell the pet safe stuff at pet supply places! ;)

Sand, just buy ordinary bags of sand box sand. It is great for traction on ice and does not harm the environmet nor pooches

Target sells one that says on the label in big obvious letters (not small print) that it is pet and child safe. Forgive me for not wanting to get off of my ass and check exactly what it is called, but you'll have no problem spotting it if it is on the shelf. Got mine at the Atlantic Terminal Target.

you can easily find pet friendly melt. however, i find that it's mostly pet owners that care. most neighbors put down the cheapest and whatever is easily available. so, your pooch is gonna walk in it anyway. if it's really bad, i wipe his feet or even try to dip in warm water before entering the house.
