      <title>Serious Ice Melt Shortage in the USA for Winter 2014-2015 Season</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">It's making headlines and is big, BIG news</p><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/14/2014 --  This winter there is going to be a severe shortage of Ice Melt. Merchants and distribution centers are already struggling to keep up the current supply. Many more have already sold out and cannot get more!<br />
<br />
Reasons For Shortage<br />
<br />
Much of the reason for these shortages is because of problems in acquiring the ingredients that ice melters are manufactured from. Stock already is low because of the widespread need from last year. Now, there aren&apos;t the raw ingredients to make more. There&apos;s little to no hope of any salt based ice melt coming available anytime soon either.  Most of the ingredients are imported from the Middle East. With all the unrest and conflict going on there, production has slowed down significantly. The businesses lie recumbent. What stocks there are become available at odd times. These supplies have been pre-claimed by the government and the military leaving very little available for manufacturers to use for public production.  <br />
<br />
Available Products This Winter<br />
<br />
Salt based ice melters make up the majority of products available. Recently a safer, cleaner way has been brought to the market that uses no form of salts to melt ice. This will be the most available product this year and it is called <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Safe Paw ice melt" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">Safe Paw ice melt</a>. Being that Safe Paw does not use salts it is also safe for pets and kids.<br />
<br />
This year the scarcity of ice melting products will severely affect towns, districts, precincts, villages and communities across the entire country. Ice melter for consumer use is going to be a very rare commodity indeed. <br />
<br />
So, shortages of the raw ingredient to make the salt based ice melting products plus the wide-scale depletion of supplier stockpiles due to the previous winters&apos; harsh weather last year have all played a part. The effect? Short supply and high demand is driving prices of inferior products through the roof. And beyond.<br />
<br />
Preparation<br />
<br />
The good news is that there is an alternative.  It&apos;s plentiful. And it&apos;s affordable. This is the stuff that should be making the news headlines.<br />
<br />
This winter, taking measures to ensure safety and to minimize risk is going to be simple. In fact it will be one of the easiest things that people can do in efforts to protect homes and families from a nasty slip or fall on the ice. It&apos;s time to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="use Safe Paw Ice Melter" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">use Safe Paw Ice Melter</a>.<br />
<br />
Safe Paw is different.<br />
<br />
It is unlike any other ice melting product.   But it isn&apos;t just the fact that Safe Paw Ice Melt is plentiful and affordable; It also boasts other qualities that make it the perfect choice even if there had been enough of the other stuff around.  <br />
<br />
People might be surprised to know that most ice melters are formulated using vast quantities of salts. It may be even more surprising to learn that these salts can be harmful to children, pets, and the environment.   <br />
<br />
Child Safety<br />
<br />
Children who come into contact with salts while innocently playing outside in the snow, may suffer from eye irritation, skin rashes, sores, and painful blisters. If ingested those salts that have been sprinkled around to tackle the ice can cause kidney damage and stomach problems.   None of this is an issue with Safe Paw.  <br />
<br />
Pet Safety<br />
<br />
Furry pets are endangered after exposure because the salts in salt-based ice melters saturate in the paws and sticking to fur. Once dried off and warm inside; the salts burn the skin causing blisters, ulcers and irritation which can lead to bacterial infections in open wounds caused as the animal attempts to rid himself of irritation. Just like children, pets are susceptible to stomach and gastric issues from licking these irritants from the paws. An unplanned for, and expensive vet bill may soon follow.   None of this is an issue with Safe Paw.  <br />
<br />
Home Safety<br />
<br />
If all that isn&apos;t enough to turn away from using salt-based products; what about the damage to the home? Damage to pavers, decks, floors, rugs, carpets, asphalt, concrete and so on? What about the detrimental and damaging effect on the environment seeping into the groundwater supply, washing into lakes, rivers and streams polluting them and harming aquatic life? What about the fact of causes of soil erosion, killing plants, burning the grass, poison birds?  None of this is an issue with Safe Paw either. <br />
<br />
Recent Survey<br />
<br />
A recent survey found alarmingly that 62% of the US population is unaware of the health dangers associated with these salts. The same survey also found that 60% of people are using salts to melt ice. Its time to stop!  <br />
<br />
With Safe Paw Ice Melter all is safeguarded.<br />
<br />
It protects from slipping by melting ice as any ice melting product should. But also it protects from all of those dangers mentioned above.  <br />
<br />
-100% salt-free.<br />
-Guaranteed safe, harmless to both children and pets.<br />
-Won&apos;t harm decking, asphalt, pavers or concrete.<br />
-Will not stain or destroy flooring if it is tracked indoors.<br />
-Won&apos;t harm plants or pond life.<br />
<br />
PTPA Green Product Seal<br />
<br />
Safe Paw is so good that it was recently awarded the PTPA Green Product Seal and is also included in the Whole Green Catalog: 1000 Best Things for You and the Earth. <br />
<br />
For many years <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Safe Paw Ice Melt has been used with confidence" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">Safe Paw Ice Melt has been used with confidence</a> by veterinarians, animal hospitals, shelters, groomers, humane societies, all of whom rely on it and even more, recommend it.  It goes without saying then that with colder weather coming, NOW is the time to invest in the No.1 selling brand of ice melter: Safe Paw!  <br />
<br />
More Bang For The Buck<br />
<br />
It is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. And it does a lot.  Because it has been formulated in a different way, it melts ice without those harmful salts, but it goes on working. This is because it boasts a patented dual effect compound made from modified crystalline amide core and combined with special glycols and traction agents.  <br />
<br />
Once applied, it gets to work immediately and goes on working. It does this because it has been engineered to attract solar energy, generating more heat that provides extra ice melting-power during daylight hours.  <br />
<br />
But it still gives more and keeps on working. Safe Paw provides protection for up to three days after application. After it has melted the ice it leaves behind an invisible shield that helps to prevent new ice from sticking and as an added bonus, this makes shoveling easier too!  <br />
<br />
So, the sooner people start getting ready, the better off all will be. Having some Safe Paw Ice Melter laid away now is going to stand all in good preparation for what lies ahead.<br />

      <title>SafePaw Defines 7 Steps in Pet Rescue</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Follow these steps before rescuing a pet</p><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/23/2014 --  Rescuing a pet is a very heroic thing to do. However, there are certain steps when it comes to rescuing a pet to ensure <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="safety and health of the pet" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">safety and health of the pet</a>. Below are 7 steps in pet rescue that need to be attended to.<br />
<br />
1. Ready for a Pet?<br />
One might think dogs and cats are cuddly and cute, think of the responsibility that comes along with that. Ready to devote time and effort to train the pet, etc.? Pets cannot be left home all day, especially if it is a dog and not pay any attention to the pet. Especially because this pet would be rescued, it&apos;s going to take some time for the pet to trust and get close to the family.<br />
<br />
2. Finances<br />
Is having a pet affordable at the moment? Pet food, cat litter, etc. is affordable every month, but vet bills are expensive? Animals get sick too, just like humans do. What happens if the pet gets sick or needs shots, etc?<br />
<br />
3. Background Info<br />
Seek out any background information on the pet that is possible. It&apos;s crucial to get as much information as possible to better train the pet and know what to expect.<br />
<br />
4. Health Issues<br />
Along with the other background info, make sure all health is covered. Find out if the animal has any prior medical history to be aware of. It&apos;s good to know about the health and expected future health of the pet.<br />
<br />
5. The Environment<br />
Is the yard big enough for the dog to run around in? Have a cat, but are looking to rescue another one. Will the two cats get along? It&apos;s best to be sure before the other cat comes home, or even a dog. A dog should have plenty of yard to run around, and if not, plan on taking walks each day.<br />
<br />
6. Choose Wisely<br />
There are going to be many different pets. One can&apos;t rescue them all. <br />
<br />
7. Be Ready For the Arrival at Home<br />
When bringing the pet home it may be scared and timid. It is only natural for the animal to be a little scared of its new surroundings. Try to remain calm. Be sure to potty/litter train the pet so no messes occur around the home.<br />

      <title>SafePaw Does Not Cause Ice Melt Concrete Damage</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Never damage concrete again</p><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/16/2014 --  It is not uncommon for home and business owners to be steered away from the use of ice melt products. This is due to the stigma of concrete damage that is often associated with all types of ice melt products. Although, when home and business owners seek out an ice melt product there could be difficulty deducing which ice melt product will be safe for the concrete. However, by simply reading the labels on ice melt products to determine the composition, home and business owners will be able to choose a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="safe &amp; reliable ice melt product" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">safe &amp; reliable ice melt product</a>.<br />
<br />
While damage to concrete may occur from the use of some ice melt compounds, it is the ingredients not the product that will cause damage to concrete outside of a home or business. Damages associated with using the wrong compounds on concrete include discoloration, concrete pits, and even breakage. Scientists have completed extensive testing on ice melt products. The compounds found to damage concrete include:<br />
<br />
- Aluminum Chloride<br />
- Sodium Cyanide<br />
- Magnesium Chloride<br />
- Magnesium Sulfate<br />
- Ammonium Sulfate<br />
- Ammonium Nitrate<br />
- Ammonium Chloride<br />
- Calcium Sulfate<br />
<br />
Ice melt compounds with these ingredients listed in the formula, as well as those containing salt, have been found to cause damage to concrete outside of homes and businesses. However, SafePaw has a composition with the ingredient Amide/Glycol Admixture, which has been modified for use as an ice melt. This ingredient does not cause damage to concrete. Additionally, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="SafePaw" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">SafePaw</a> is safe for use around children and animals and does not have the risk of contaminating the water supply.<br />
<br />
Ice melt products are a popular and necessary choice during the winter months. This is especially true in areas that experience large amounts of snow at once. The choice to use ice melt products will prevent painful injuries to both home and business owners and guests/employees caused by slips. Additionally, these products can prevent costly lawsuits that can be associated with slips outside the home or office. Before deciding that the risks commonly associated with the stereotype of ice melt products is not worth the costs, home and business owners should consider all the possible repercussions of not protecting the home or business from slips and falls from ice accumulation.<br />
<br />
To ensure the products purchased for use as ice melt will not harm the concrete outside of the home or business, research the ingredients contained in the product. If an ice melt product contains any of the aforementioned ingredients, or contains any form of salt, it is likely that it will cause damage to the concrete outside of the home or business. <br />

      <title>Icy Roads to Salty Waters: Stay Away from Rock Salt</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Rock salt is poisonous</p><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/15/2014 --  A massive winter storm is more than just inconvenience, a huge pile up of snow and ice can present major dangers. Traveling on the roads when there is snow and ice covering the asphalt presents an enormous amount of problems that are frequently addressed by the massive pouring of rock salt on the roads. Rock salt, however, creates its own problems. Once the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ice and snow melt" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">ice and snow melt</a>, the roads end up with a liquid rock salt river that ends up causing major troubles. For this reason, it is advisable not to throw rock salt out in front of the house to clear off the steps and sidewalk. Doing so can lead to some harsh regrets.<br />
<br />
- Rock salt has the potential to seriously damage concrete. Major cracks and fissures in the concrete sidewalk are going to start to appear. The cost of repairing a sidewalk and driveway can cost thousands of dollars. Even worse, the cracks in the sidewalk can create the potential for slip and fall accidents. Needless to say, the possibility of these accidents can create major liabilities for a homeowner.<br />
<br />
- Rock salt can also cause damage to a car. The salt can have a very corrosive effect on the finish of a vehicle. That salty river that was once the road in front of your house can really ruin a vehicle. Corrosion underneath the car can manifest and remain out of sight until inspection time comes. By then, the level of corrosion might be so severe the costs of fixing the damage reach the proverbial stratosphere.<br />
<br />
- Plants, flowers, trees, and other vegetation can be destroyed by the presence of rock salt. The environment does need a lot of water in order to survive. Salt water is not going to be very beneficial. In fact, it might kill off a lot of plants and other green growths on your property. Even a small amount of rock salt in melting ice and snow can have a very negative effect. A great deal of rock salt continual added to the presence of melting ice and snow is going to have a dire effect.<br />
<br />
- Rock salt can be poisonous to pets. A dog or a cat might get sick seemingly out of the blue. Owners might not ever be able to figure out what is wrong. A trip to the vet quickly reveals the serious nature of the animal&apos;s condition and, sadly, the condition may reach the point where curing the pet is impossible.<br />
<br />
- Children too can be placed at a poison risk from rock salt. Take this as yet another reason not to play a part to add to it on a property.<br />
<br />
What can be done to deal with ice and snow when it falls? Instead of using rock salt, make the switch to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="SafePaw, a pet, human, and environmentally friendly substitute" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">SafePaw, a pet, human, and environmentally friendly substitute</a> that can melt ice and snow easily and do so without presenting major risks.<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="SafePaw" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">SafePaw</a> simply is the way better option.<br />

      <title>Greenland Loses Battle to Global Warming</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Worldwide sea levels would rise by 23 feet</p><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/16/2014 --  Within the ice sheets, Greenland contains 10% of the world&apos;s reserves of fresh water. Those sheets are massive, comprising millions of cubic meters spread over the island nation and are melting due to persistently warmer temperatures. Ice fishermen report that the thickness of sea ice has dropped by more than 3-feet in some parts while the steady erosion of glaciers is measured by scientists and photographed by tourists. In short, Greenland is losing the battle to global warming.<br />
<br />
Why is the World so Concerned about Ice Melt in Greenland?<br />
The ice sheets in Greenland are massive. Environmental scientists estimate that if all the ice currently stored on the island melted, worldwide sea levels would rise by 23 feet. Coastal cities would be severely affected and the risk of more violent sea storms substantially increases. In fact, cities such as Venice and New Orleans are already taking steps to prevent damage from rising waters.<br />
<br />
Past projections for the rate of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ice melt" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">ice melt</a> in Greenland predicted a much slower rate of melt than what is currently being recorded. Should the melt rate continue to rise, cities would have little time to prepare and would rapidly be submerged. This scenario frightens many climate specialists and are urging a rapid change in the way that humans use the energy believed to be responsible for the current state of global warming.<br />
<br />
Why is the Ice in Greenland Melting Faster than Predicted?<br />
The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on the planet. Once ice cover in an area melts, a cascading effect sets in. Since ice has a high degree of reflectivity, most of the warmth of the sun&apos;s rays were reflected back away from the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ice and snow" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">ice and snow</a> covered surfaces. Once the ground is exposed, the darker colored earth absorbs those rays and heats the ground. <br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Melting ice" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">Melting ice</a> turns into water and water flows. While the turquoise colored streams flowing through the ice are a beautiful site to see, those streams are warmer than the ice that flows through and conduct heat throughout the glacial system. This additional distribution of heat stimulates further melt and more exposed ground for a potentially disastrous scenario.<br />
<br />
Recent Ice Melts in Greenland<br />
The northeast section of Greenland had been thought to be stable. Three large glaciers acted as a bulwark against a gigantic ice sheet preventing the flow of the sheets into the sea. The area is very dry and very cold. However, recent glacial melts have alarmed scientists. The potential route of the ice sheets is all downhill, so if these glaciers which have acted like brakes fail, it is feared that the movement of the ice sheets could be much more rapid than previously expected. <br />
<br />
While the war against catastrophic changes due to global warming is not yet over, Greenland is losing this particular battle as the rate of ice melt continues to accelerate.<br />

      <title>6 Pet Safety Tips for the Extreme Cold</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">To keep Fido comfortable, keep these 6 pet safety tips for the extreme cold in mind.</p><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/19/2014 --  People love dogs and cats and are concerned about the well being, care, and safety of pets. To keep Fido comfortable, keep these 6 pet safety tips for the extreme cold in mind.<br />
<br />
1. Keep a warm home<br />
If a dog has a home outside, it should be a few inches off the ground, have insulation and be equipped with a warm basket and blanket. The ideal dog house is just big enough for the dog to stand and turn. Anything smaller will be uncomfortable for a dog, anything bigger will be too big to get warm with body heat.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye on the water bowl. During extreme cold water might freeze over leaving the dog thirsty, or might cut the paws on the ice trying to break the frozen layer.<br />
<br />
Then again, during extreme cold weather, pets should not be left outside. A backyard is not a home and not only is such an environment lonely, there is no real shelter. Remember, if it&apos;s cold for humans, it&apos;s cold for animals too.<br />
<br />
2. Keep playtime limited<br />
Most dogs love running around and playing in the snow, but over exposure to the extreme cold can be damaging to a dog&apos;s good health. When left outside for too long, dogs can suffer from hypothermia too, as well as frostbite. In addition to paws, a dog&apos;s ears, nose and tail are sensitive to the cold.<br />
<br />
3. Look after paws<br />
Paws, legs and a dog&apos;s underbelly should be wiped after the dog comes back from a walk. Ice and de-icing chemicals might get attached to paws and fur and can not only lead to bleeding paws, but can lead to poisoning. Items like <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="SafePaw" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">SafePaw</a> prevent this from happening.<br />
<br />
4. Provide pet clothing<br />
If a dog owner can manage it, dogs should wear booties and pet clothing to protect the body. A jacket that wraps around the body from neck to tummy. Not only will pet clothing protect a dog from harmful chemicals, a coat will protect him from losing body heat.<br />
<br />
5. Limit shaving<br />
Even though a dog might look better groomed when shaved, refrain from shaving during winter time. If a dog has to be shaved, don&apos;t let the shaver go too close to the skin. A dog needs its fur to keep warm.<br />
<br />
6. Be prepared<br />
Winter might bring power outages, frozen pipes and treacherous roads. Stock up on pet food and water so that when the going gets tough there is no need to rush outside for pet supplies. Include pet medication and a first aid kit.<br />
<br />
In addition to looking after personal pets, be kind to other animals too. Before starting a car, honk the horn a few times to scare feral cats and dogs away who might have climbed under a vehicle or in the engine. When it&apos;s cold, animals try to stay warm wherever they can.<br />

      <title>Polar Vortex Causes Ice Melt Shortage</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">SafePaw ™ Ice Melt natural ingredients here to stay.</p><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/28/2014 --  With record snow falls and plummeting temperatures nationwide, people have been hitting the stores to stock up on necessary items, especially ice melt. After years of mild winters, most ice melt companies decided not to over prepare and get stuck with extra product; causing a shortage across the country.  SafePaw ™, the only 100% animal safe, salt-free natural ice melt on the market isn&apos;t facing that problem. Most ice melt products do not have a long shelf life and will spoil if not used over the winter.  The inconsistent summer weather makes storing ice melt unreliable over the months. Many ice melt companies lose a lot of money on spoiled product.  <br />
<br />
Rock Salt is the most commonly used ingredient, supplies are sent from various manufacturers around the world. Ice melt products use blends of many chemicals and chlorides that are extremely harmful to pets as well as humans. With this current winter setting records, supplies are dwindling dangerously low and receiving new product presents many challenges to companies. <br />
<br />
Property owners are responsible for maintaining their land appropriately while providing a clean, safe walkway and environment for the public.  Failure to do so can lead to lawsuits, injuries, and other problems. What are the options available? As far as ice melting goes, there is still one company that seems to be in the forefront, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="SafePaw ™ Ice Melt" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">SafePaw ™ Ice Melt</a>, a great product that doesn&apos;t have a shelf life and can last for many years in storage.  Because SafePaw ™ is a 100% natural, the product won&apos;t damage surfaces, can be stored anywhere if kept away from moisture and won&apos;t harm animals. This non-toxic, environmentally sound ice melt is producing at a high rate to make sure customer&apos;s demands are met.<br />
<br />
The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="SafePaw ™ Ice Melt Company, Gaia Enterprises, Inc." href="http://www.safepaw.com/">SafePaw ™ Ice Melt Company, Gaia Enterprises, Inc.</a>, has a special secret formula that other brands can&apos;t copy.  Where other brands have to rely on sourcing hard to find ingredients, SafePaw ™ has a steady supply of proprietary components.<br />
<br />
With old man winter showing no signs of mercy, resources are starting to run thin. Remember SafePaw ™ Ice Melt is here to stay.<br />

Pet nutrition blogger Rodney Habib of Planet Paws Pet Essentials vouches for Safe Paw ™ during an <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="interview on Global Halifax Morning News" href="http://globalnews.ca/video/1058143/protecting-your-pets-feet-from-road-salt">interview on Global Halifax Morning News</a>, by eating the product, proving its non-harmful ingredients. Rodney Habib stood out in the cold with his pet barefoot to feel the affects of rock salt on the flesh just as pets would. Immediately Rodney Habib felt burning sensations and had to wash.<br />
<br />
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, in a New York Daily News video interview, is seen using Safe Paw ™ while encouraging viewers to use "animal-safe ice melter" instead of traditional rock salt.  Political pundit Stephen Colbert is seen using Safe Paw ™ in a skit on his Comedy Central television show The Colbert Report. <br />

      <title>Go Green This Winter Safepaw Ice Melter Protects Pets &amp; Kids</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/24/2013 --  Safepaw ice melting compound offers a unique, green alternative to using traditional salt-based compounds on icy winter surfaces. This patented, dual-effect ice melting compound is 100% safe for children, pets, wildlife, and the environment. <br />
<br />
How It Works<br />
<br />
Safepaw utilizes a two-way, time released, endothermic action that attracts solar heat to melt ice and snow without giving off heat itself. This dual-effect compound is made up of a liquid component that instantly starts the melt by breaking up the surface tension of the ice, and a modified crystalline amide core, which is infused with a special glycol admixture that quickly penetrates and completes the melt. Once melted, Safepaw creates an invisible shield keeping new ice from sticking to surfaces for several days. This makes shoveling easy. Safepaw is also infused with traction agents to prevent slips and falls. Safepaw functions to temperatures as low as 2 degrees below zero. <br />
<br />
No Salt!<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Safepaw is the only ice melting product" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">Safepaw is the only ice melting product</a> on the market that does not contain salt [sodium chloride, or potassium chloride]. Salt-based compounds leave residues that are corrosive to all surfaces including; asphalt, concrete, brick, pavers, wood, lawns; and floors and rugs when tracked into the home.  The run-off winds up in water wells, water systems, the ocean; damages plant life and the soil as well.  <br />
<br />
These corrosive compounds are also dangerous to children, pets, and wildlife, as salt-based ice melting compounds work slowly and are only effective to 24 degrees above zero. The risk of exposure to children and pets is greatly increased.<br />
<br />
Staying Safe<br />
<br />
Children and family dogs have been injured by salt-based compounds after frolicking in the snow. They tend to ingest and get the compounds into their eyes and onto their skin while at play, and dogs lick paws, which have the compounds embedded into them. Corrosive salt-based compounds are known to cause severe damage to internal organs when ingested. Returning indoors to warmer temperatures, these compounds can rise to 175 degrees, severely injuring the child and pet whose eyes and skin have become exposed. Wildlife creatures also eat ice and drink the melting mixtures as a source of water.<br />
<br />
Children, pets, and wildlife are safe in an environment where Safepaw has been used. Since Safepaw does not contain salt or any other corrosive elements, it can be safely applied to decking of any kind, and will not damage asphalt, concrete, pavers, carpets or flooring when tracked into the home. Safepaw ice-melting compound is safe to be used around plant life, and is harmless to water wells, water systems, the ocean, the soil, and the environment. <br />
<br />
Innovative <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Safepaw ice-melting compound" href="http://www.safepaw.com/">Safepaw ice-melting compound</a> is nationally available in grocery, pet, hardware, and mass merchandising stores at easily affordable prices.
