Anti-freeze warning

Just to warn you all that it has been reported this year that there has been a high number of dogs dying due to anti freeze. Please be careful not to allow your dogs to drink or lick any puddles on the roads as they may contain anti-freeze. It only takes a little bit to cause damage to your dogs.

Love Jules XXX

Please take heed of this post!

I had a cat poisoned with antifreeze last summer and she was so ill. It attacked her liver, kidneys, you name it. The vet did the best he could but after two days she had to be put to sleep.

Apparently it tastes really sweet and animals find it irresistable.

Thanks for highlighting this Jules-i've never thought about dogs being poisoned by antifreeze! I know it tastes sweet cause this is how i check my car-dip finger in rad and if sickly sweet-its alright (i dont drink the bottle!).

What a great tip - I never knew either, and Lennon does like to lick a puddle. You may have saved his life you know - thank you very very much
