It is highly toxic, due to the chemical component of ethylene glycol, to us and our animals. Its sweet taste makes this product very palatable and it is a product found in radiators and for windshield washers in cars.
This poisoning is more common than you think and can lead to rapid and sudden death for cats and dogs. 2 tablespoons of the product can kill a medium dog, and 1.5 teaspoons can kill a cat. Licking the product off their paws is also fatal. It is therefore advisable, in winter, to take precautions.

• Do not leave an open antifreeze bottle lying around
• We put the product out of reach for our animal
• We mop up the puddles
• When walking, be careful if your dog insists on going to a certain area, if they want to lick the ground or eat grass (they may have been attracted by antifreeze)

• The central nervous system, liver and kidneys will be affected.
  The first signs of intoxication appear within an hour or even half an hour after ingestion:

  • Vomiting
  • Nauseas
  • Abdominal contractions
  • Bellyache

  Then, these first symptoms will fade and the animal will be in a state of agitation and intoxication.
  Within 12 to 24 hours, he will go into a coma with some convulsions.
  Within 24 to 48 hours, acute renal failure may develop.
