Many people are unaware that some common substances regularly found around the house and yard can seriously affect your dog's health. One of these is antifreeze.

Just one teaspoon of ethylene glycol could be enough to kill a seven pound cat.

Always make sure containers are well sealed and kept out of reach of your pet. If you suspect your pet has ingested antifreeze take it to the vet immediately.
