Pet and plant safe alternative to rock salt

I would like to know some alternatives for rock salt for deicing sidewalks and steps that are safe for pets and plants. It has now become that time of year for ice and snow and I don't want to cause any harm our new 3yr. old dog nor all the new shrubs we planted last spring. I hope I'm postong this in the right forum.

Hi. I use "Safe Paw" Ice Melter. I get it at the supermarket. There's a store finder on their website if you need it:
SafePaw

It takes a bit longer to work than the regular stuff.
