About pet safe and concrete safe ice melt
Pet safe ice melt, or as we prefer to say, pet-friendlier ice melt, is made to be gentler on paws than rock salt when used as directed. We carry CMA, magnesium chloride, urea and liquid formulas in jugs, pails and bags so you can clear walkways your dogs use every day. Everything ships from Williamstown, NJ at one price for everyone.
Read the full guide
What Pet-Friendlier Means
No ice melt is a treat, and no responsible seller should tell you one is completely harmless. What these products offer is a gentler option than plain rock salt for the paths your pets walk. You still get the best results by using the package rate, keeping pets from eating treated snow and wiping paws after walks.
Most products here say "pet-friendly" or "pet-friendlier" right in the name, and many list a melt temperature so you can compare them the same way you would any ice melt.
Start With Your Lowest Temperature
A pet-friendlier product still has to melt ice on your coldest morning. Ratings on the products here range widely:
- To -25°F: Blue Arctic Fox CMA, Orange Walrus CMA and the Peach Country Pet-Friendlier Ice Melt Pail.
- To -22°F: Friendly Paw, Paw Protector and Cozy Paws.
- To -20°F: White Polar Bear CMA, Green Seal CMA and Pink Penguin CMA.
- To -15°F: Blue Emperor Pet-Friendly Ice Melt, Safe Step Sure Paws and our magnesium chloride flakes and pellets.
- To 0°F: Snow Shield Pet-Friendly Ice Melt and Sugar Mag.
Where a product does not list a rating, follow the package.
The Chemistries
CMA
CMA (calcium magnesium acetate) is the base of our Polar Bear, Green Seal, Pink Penguin, Orange Walrus and Arctic Fox pails, each in 8, 20 and 45 lb. Paw Shield combines CMA with corn steep in a 12 lb jug, and the CMA Blended Magnesium Chloride pairs CMA with magnesium chloride.
Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium chloride is gentler on surfaces than rock salt and works colder than rock salt. Pet-friendly magnesium products include Snow Shield, Blue Emperor, Sugar Mag and Pink Blizzard. For straight magnesium chloride, see our magnesium chloride collection.
Urea
Urea Ice Melt is a fertilizer-based deicer in 8, 20 and 45 lb pails. Keep it off lawns and beds just as you would any deicer.
Liquid
Peach Country Liquid Shield is a pet-friendly liquid ice melt in a 1 gallon size. See more options in our liquid ice melt collection.
Compare Pet-Friendlier Ice Melt
Which One Should You Buy?
- Best for front steps and small walks: an 8 lb pail or jug, such as Morton Safe-T-Pet or Safe Step Sure Paws.
- Best for the coldest days: a -25°F product like Blue Arctic Fox or Orange Walrus.
- Best for long driveways: 45 lb pails or 50 lb bags such as Blue Emperor or Snow Shield.
- Best for pre-treating: Peach Country Liquid Shield.
Concrete: What "Concrete Safe" Does and Does Not Mean
This collection also serves people worried about their concrete, pavers and stone. Magnesium chloride is gentler on surfaces than rock salt. But the most important rule applies to every product here: any deicer can damage concrete that is less than one year old. On new concrete, shovel and use traction instead of ice melt for the first year.
For pavers and natural stone, check with the surface manufacturer before using any deicer, and sweep up leftover product after each storm.
How to Apply It
- Shovel first so the product works on a thin layer of ice.
- Spread an even layer at the package rate. Extra product ends up on paws and floors.
- Keep pets off treated areas while product is working, when you can.
- Wipe paws with a damp towel after walks.
- Sweep up leftover granules once the ice is gone.
What to Watch Out For
- Eating ice melt: keep pets from eating treated snow or product. If your dog eats ice melt or seems unwell, call your veterinarian.
- Mixing products: if you use rock salt on the driveway, keep it off the paths your pets use.
- Storage: keep pails and bags closed and out of reach of pets and children.
How Much to Order
Application rates vary by product, so plan with the package directions. An 8 lb pail or jug usually suits steps and a short walk, 20 and 45 lb pails fit a typical walkway and driveway through several storms, and 50 lb bags suit larger areas. Order before the first storm so you are not caught using whatever is left in the garage.

Quick Answers
What ice melt is best for dogs?
Look for a pet-friendlier formula such as CMA or one of the pet-friendly magnesium blends in this collection. They are gentler on paws than rock salt when used as directed. No ice melt is a substitute for wiping paws after walks.
Is pet safe ice melt really safe?
We describe these products as pet-friendlier, meaning gentler on paws than rock salt when used as directed. Follow the label, keep pets from eating ice melt, and wipe paws after walks.
Is ice melt safe for new concrete?
No. Any deicer can damage concrete less than one year old, including pet-friendlier formulas. Shovel and use traction on new concrete for its first year.
Can I use ice melt on pavers?
Check with your paver or stone manufacturer before using any deicer. If they approve one, use it at the package rate and sweep up leftover product.
What happens if my dog licks ice melt?
Try to prevent it by wiping paws and keeping pets away from treated areas while product is down. If your dog eats ice melt or seems unwell, call your veterinarian.
