Pestell - Paw Thaw Ice Melter For Dogs
Description
TL;DR: Pestell Paw Thaw Ice Melter is a pet-safe ice melt designed to clear icy walkways while being gentler on dog paws than traditional rock salt. Available in 12 lb and 25 lb bags, it's a practical pick for Canadian winters and a useful addition to dog supplies for first time owners.
Winter sidewalks and driveways can be rough on paw pads, and conventional ice melts often make things worse. Pestell Paw Thaw is formulated to melt ice and snow while reducing the risk of irritation if your dog walks across treated surfaces.

Who is it for?
This product suits dog owners across the GTA who want safer winter footing without exposing their dog's paws to harsh chemical residues. It's especially useful as part of essential dog supplies for first time owners heading into their first Canadian winter, or for anyone fostering dogs for adoption who want a lower-irritation option on their walkways.
Choose the 12 lb bag for smaller walkways and balconies, or the 25 lb bag for driveways and longer paths.
How do you use Pestell Paw Thaw?
Spread Paw Thaw evenly across icy pathways, steps, porches, and other slippery outdoor surfaces, just as you would a conventional ice melt. Reapply as needed during heavy snow or freezing rain.
Even with a pet-safe formula, it's good practice to wipe your dog's paws after outdoor walks in winter to remove any melt residue, road grit, or slush.
Pair it with paw care
For complete winter paw protection, pair Paw Thaw with a barrier balm or moisturizer. Consider Musher's Secret - Dog Paw Wax as a pre-walk barrier, Kin+Kind - Nose and Paw Moisturizer Stick For Cats & Dogs for targeted spot care, or Dandylion - Soft Paws Hydrating Paw Lotion to soothe dry pads after winter walks.
Available for same-day pickup at our North York, Toronto storefront, or ships Canada-wide.
