Green Gobbler Pet Safe Ice Melt
We love this Green Gobbler Ice Melt that won’t harm plants, paws or cause breakage on driveways. While no ice melt is totally harmless to pets (especially if ingested), this one is highly unlikely to burn or irritate skin and paws.
Most importantly, it’ll melt snow and ice in temperatures as low as minus-10 degrees Fahrenheit. It also comes in bulk sizes, which can help keep costs down if you anticipate using quite a bit of ice melt this season.
Pros
- Effective
- Easy to use
- Less harmful for pets and plants
- Available in bulk sizes
Cons
- More expensive than some other ice melts
