Winter is well underway, and while spring is on the horizon, there are still several weeks of cold and ice ahead. To prevent slippery surfaces, many people rely on traditional salt or de-icing products. However, these often contain chlorides (sodium, calcium, or magnesium), which can irritate pets' paw pads and even be toxic if ingested.
At Mondou, we offer alternatives specifically designed to keep your pet safe while effectively combating ice. Unlike conventional de-icers, our options are free from harsh salts and chemicals, making them gentler on paws, outdoor surfaces, and the environment.
Choosing a pet-safe de-icer means giving your pet a more comfortable winter while also protecting your home, yard, and family. Here are two effective solutions tailored to pet owners' needs.
