Vehicles require antifreeze to prevent engines from freezing during winter and overheating in the summertime. Unfortunately, the commonly used ethylene glycol antifreeze products are extremely toxic to pets, but their sweet taste encourages pets (and in some cases, children) to ingest them voluntarily. Pets may also ingest antifreeze that they have stepped in while grooming their feet.

A cat may die after ingesting a single teaspoon of antifreeze, and a 10-pound dog can be killed by as little as a tablespoon of the substance. Up to 88% of all animals that ingest antifreeze die.
