As part of Winter Salt Week, the City of Edina will host “Paws & Pavement,” a free event highlighting what every pet owner should know about pet-friendly claims on deicer product labels.The event will take place from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, at the Weber Park shelter building, 4115 Grimes Ave. S.
Residents are invited to bring their dogs and “fetch some tips” from Water Resources Manager Jessica Wilson and Edina resident and Minnesota Water Steward Sue Nissen. Learn how to maintain safety for people and reduce oversalting and the risks of salt-related issues for pets—such as skin and ingestion concerns—while also minimizing long-term environmental harm.
Event Highlights:
🐾 Free dog treats! (While supplies last)
🔍 Product Detective: Look at common claims on deicer packages and learn how to interpret ingredients
🧊 Salt-Alternatives Showcase: See a display of alternatives to chemical deicers, including reusable traction materials
🧹 Ice-Busting Essentials: Check out recommended equipment to add to your winter inventory for clearing snow and ice
💧 Watershed Model: Explore a watershed model from the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District to help visualize how melting snow and ice carry salt into storm drains that empty into lakes, streams and wetlands
