What Is Safety Salt?
Get ready for winter with Safe Paw: The Pet-Friendly Ice Melter that cares – for your home, pets, and planet.
The Hidden Risks of Safety Salt
Despite their marketing, safety salt products may still pose several risks:
- Environmental Impact: Many safety salts contain chlorides, which can leach into soil and waterways, leading to freshwater salinization. This phenomenon is toxic to aquatic life and pollutes drinking water sources.
- Infrastructure Damage: Even with reduced corrosiveness, safety salts can still contribute to the deterioration of concrete and metal structures over time, leading to costly repairs.
- Health Concerns: Some safety salts may cause skin irritation upon contact and can be harmful if ingested by pets or children.

Evaluating Sidewalk Salt Alternatives
When considering de-icing options, it’s essential to assess their safety and effectiveness:
- Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA): CMA is an alternative that doesn’t harm plants, pets, or sidewalks. However, it can deoxygenate waterways it’s washed into, which can be harmful to aquatic life.
- Sand or Kitty Litter: These provide traction on icy surfaces but do not melt ice. They can also create a mess and may clog drainage systems.
- Sugar Beet Juice/Brine: This natural solution lowers the freezing point of ice and reduces the clumping of road salt when applied.
