We received this right on time before a big storm hit! I was so glad we had the let friendly version so we wouldn’t have to worry about our pups!

Good product but not as effective as prior brands. Required second coat to completely remove ice from plastic wood steps at 30 degrees F.

Doesn't seem to last long

Put it down last night after clearing the walkway. No snow overnight, but there is ice where I applied this salt.

Did not ring up at register at price as advertised on shelf, in fact it was a higher price. Very disappointed in price, quantity and quality. Regular salt for snow is cheaper in price and better than this product at other stores. Very, very disappointed. Have to be very, very careful when shopping at Walmart because prices have rung up for me higher than advertised on shelves for months now, and now I am being more cautious when shopping there.

Ignore the negative review. It works

Used this last winter as it was the only thing left at the local Walmart in March despite winter still here in Minnesota... I was very surprised and pleased with how well it works. Just keep in mind that it's only going to warm things up about 15° or whatever it says... So put it down when the sun is out to get best results.

Great Product--$9.98 when I purchased Jan 19, 2019

I only paid $9.98 for this at Walmart yesterday, so not sure why it's showing $31? Anyway, used it this morning after shoveling about 3 inches of snow with a thin layer of ice on it. It melted the remainder very quickly, and I was then able to shovel away the slush and put this product down again. All steps and pathways in my yard are completely clear. Great product (I just hope they correct the price!)

It's good for the price.....but...

I have tried Pet Safe Ice melts and they just don't work. As a cost comparable product, I tried this even though it is "Pet Friendly", not Pet Safe. I use it sparingly, and clean it away as soon as I can because it does burn my dogs' paws. If they lick their paws and I did not rinse them well enough they do vomit, drink lots of water, drool, and pant as if they are in pain.

Excellent Buy!

Loved this product! I had 3 options to buy from and i chose the pet friendly bc we have feral cats around our home. It worked really well. As for the people who is saying it doesn't work...you can't put a product on the ground and expect magic lol after it sits you must go back and shovel the ice/snow off. After that put more on and the ice will be completely gone! That bag lasted 5 days through a foot of snow and quarter inch of ice!

Works, if you don't buy a bag that's a solid block

I bought a small "shaker" size that worked really well, so a few weeks later when we had another storm, I went to my "go-to" Walmart location and bought this bigger bag. Well, I got home and opened the bag to spread it, only to find that it was a solid block and completely useless. I even tried hitting it with the pointy end of a hammar and throwing the bag to the ground several times to try to break it up, hoping to get some use out of it. No such luck - it was like concrete! If you decide to pick-up a bag, shake it or move it around a bit to make sure it is usable.

Pet friendly?

Worked as intended, but a little concerned about the pet friendly line. I bought this cause my cat sometimes sneaks behind us and darts outside. I put this out quickly as we were in snow storm and didn’t read until after that this should not touch bare skin or make oral contact. Well if my cat got this on his feet it would be touching bare skin and when he groomed himself it would get in his mouth. So that’s more than concerning! I read reviews that said dog’s feet were burned by this product. We also have wildlife and I wouldn’t want to hurt them. Because of all that I would not buy this product again.
