Ice .. Anything safe for dogs

Have a long path with very thick ice on , tried breaking it up but losing the battle .
Can I use salt / grit or anything else on it ?
D dog uses this path 4 times a day and worried the salt / grit will hurt his pads .
Am I being over sensitive or correct in thinking it's bad for him ?

Salt would hurt but sand is fine.

Salt half the path, walk the dog on the other half, rinse his paws and legs with fresh, clean water everytime he comes in.

@missbattenburg Thanks that's good idea , shame I can't just carry him up path but he's a 25 kilo staffy so not easy .
We have a grit bin up the road and considered using that but didn't know if that would hurt his pads like salt .
