Interesting because when we talked to a City worker a couple of years ago when he was spreading Ice Melt on the multi use pathway he told us it was pet safe!

If my dog has any problems I will be super annoyed.

Where do the storm sewers drain ? My understanding is into the lake, bad for paws bad for fish ? Or not bad enough to worry about it . Like a pinch of salt just makes the fish taste better .

I worry more about not falling on a slippery sidewalk and not breaking an arm or a leg than your pets paws. I may damage my fancy boots with the salt but I clean them up. I am thankful for the city workers doing their best to keep us standing up.

And please continue to clean up after your dog. The only thing I want to see pop up out of the snow as it melts are snow drop flowers not piles of dog crap.
