Dangers of Antifreeze in Pets

A timely reminder as the weather gets colder of the dangers of antifreeze to pets if they drink it. Antifreeze can have a sweet flavour and some cats especially seem to be drawn to it.

The consequences, particularly for cats, can be disastrous. Pets start by looking a bit drunk and in-coordinated but rapidly progress to kidney failure which can often be fatal. Rapid treatment is vital but unfortunately not always successful.

Prevention is the key so ensure that you car radiator isn’t dripping in the driveway & if you do top up the car, please ensure that any spills are cleaned up thoroughly.
