What if my pet eats some Diamond Crystal ice melter?
Diamond Crystal® ice melters are not produced under food grade conditions and therefore are not intended for human or animal consumption. However, our 2 most popular residential ice melters (Diamond Crystal® Winter Melt® and Jiffy Melt®) have low toxicity if inadvertently ingested in small amounts. Both have a Material Safety Data Sheet hazard rating of 1 on a scale of 0-4 (where 0 is considered “minimal hazard—no significant risk to health” and 1 is “slight hazard—irritation or minor reversible injury possible”). If ingestion occurs, make sure your pet has water available to drink, which is usually all that’s needed. Ingesting large amounts, however, can result in gastrointestinal irritation. If your pet shows signs of distress, contact your veterinarian. Always store any ice melter out of reach of children and pets. (Refer to Diamond Crystal ice melter Material Safety Data Sheets for more information).
