I'm a rescue pack mom, in the Pacific Northwest, and we get snow every year.
Though my front, porch, walkway, and driveway are Aggregate, the sidewalk is concrete, the back deck, and stairs are wood, and I use it in all of these locations, so far after 4 years of using, sometimes for a week at a time, there has never been any damage to the surface, nor any of the dog pack paws, and with potty trips into the back, they cross the surface many times in a day.
I had come across Safe Paw, when I was running low on my usual brand, but when I went to order it was listed as out of stock, and no time frame when it would be re-stocked.
As a rescue pack mom, paw safe is a must, plus I want it to work, which when I started using I was a bit skeptical, because part of the front walkway is in the shade, snow often doesn't melt there if left alone for even as late as a week after everyone else's snow has long melted!
This year it beyond impressed me, as we had a few heavy storms, that also included wind, so the covered front porch had a bunch of snow, that it doesn't usually get, since it is covered. So I thought I had nothing to lose, either that or I'm shoveling, lol It worked like a charm, no damage to the porch, not even to the mats that were under the snow.
Not even any damage to the plants or lawn from melting.
Plus, this is a product even the long-time family Vet approved of.
Now, it can be a bit of a pain in the booty to scatter, and if your shoes have the winter traction on the bottoms or even a chunky bottom, un-melted pellets will get caught in the groves, but with a teen that plays football, I'm used to the ones from the turf or if one of the pooch pack members tracking something, so it's not a big deal for me, I just sweep or dust vac.
Now, I have a pack of several different ages, sizes, as well as coats, now sometimes, un-melted pellets can stick to one of the GSD's, the Border Collie, or the Long-haired mini Doxi's paws, but it comes off or just falls off easily, quickly, and so far I haven't had any issues with their paws.
I go through about 5-7 jugs a year, and keep about 3 1/2 to 4 on hand, I've even given some to neighbors.
For us, it's been great, I hope they continue to carry
