Why Should You Test Safe Paw or Safe Thaw on a Small Area First?

If you’ve recently purchased a pet-safe deicer like Safe Paw or Safe Thaw and you’re preparing to apply it to your concrete driveway or walkway, there’s one small—but important—step you shouldn’t skip: testing it on a small, inconspicuous area first. This recommendation isn’t just a legal formality or a marketing precaution. It’s a smart, protective measure rooted in how concrete surfaces behave—and how different their histories can be.
