    The shipping was fast (it came 2 days before it said it would). We've put some down twice, and so far, no ice and it hasn't ruined our driveway / walkway!

    Pretty effective for my use. I did notice that there is a strange copper-colored residue as the snow melts.

    This does everything it claims -- but you have to use it correctly. (It amuses me when people complain about products they've clearly misused.) Not too much, not too little, and spread evenly. Some trial and error might be needed, depending on the severity of the conditions. For example, I found it won't melt through thick layers of ice, but it will get the process started and begin breaking it up, adding traction. Then I add a little more after that, until the ice is gone. I've found it works best when it's spread before the forecast calls for ice or snow.

    Rock salt I've used may have clipped right through ice, but at a severe cost that I'm not willing to incur. Safe Paw Ice Melter is non-toxic and, after our dogs sniff a little and try it out, they lose interest. Off we go for a run or walk, and all I have to clean up is wet paws, not bleeding pads.

    In the DC metro area, ice is a serious issue because we frequently warm up during the day and re-freeze at night. I've owned several rescued dogs who have been through enough, including a border collie mix now with paw fur that catches everything, and I sure don't want them to get sore paws or sick from salt products. Nor do we want our and neighborhood kids crashing to their butts. When you use it judiciously, as it recommends, it lasts quite awhile.

    Some people note that the pellets seem to "melt" the ice only around each pellet, but that's not the case. It might look that way, a bit pockmarked, but the meltwater appears to spread the components so the whole surface is affected. I'm guessing that's why they suggest you spread it evenly but not too thinly or thickly.

    I would recommend buying one 8-lb container plus the better-value bucket -- then refilling the container and using that because it has a convenient shaker lid you can turn shut, from which it's easy to broadcast. I keep mine by the door outside and it stays dry.

    Happy crunching!

    This ice melt does an excellent job of dissolving the ice that builds up on our driveway in winter! We live in Erie, PA - known for massive accumulations of snow in the country. The plow truck removes the snow but creates another problem. When the tires go up and down on our sloped driveway, it packs down the snow which then turns into ice build up. Then my husband leaves for work and packs it down further, creating more ice build up. And so on and so forth! This ice build up can become so darn thick that I think it would be there until April or May if it weren’t for a good ice melt! A lot of our neighbors have dogs that they walk several times a day up and down our street, so we wanted a product that preserved the quality of our concrete driveway and sidewalk and that wouldn’t harm the pads of our neighbors’ dogs. After having tried several products, we have found this to be the best! The only thing I dislike about it is the high price. Being fair, all the other products at which I looked are up about the same price. So, save yourself some time and frustration and order some of this. I have an almost full bucket left from last year, but I wanted to make sure I beat the rush and prepared for this coming winter. You should, too!
