A non-fiction piece warning pet owners of the things antifreeze can do to your beloved pet
Beware of Antifreeze
Poisoning

Antifreeze is very harmful to pets and children. Antifreeze is sweet, neon-green or blue, but most of all, deadly.
Keep antifreeze away from pets and children, and, if spilled, clean up immediately. Antifreeze can be cleaned up by using kitty litter, sand, a sponge, or other absorbent material.

If antifreeze is suspected in a person, call the poison help line: 1-800-222-1222. If suspected in an animal, call your veterinarian. Antifreeze can be cleaned up by using kitty litter, sand, a sponge, or other absorbent material.

Ways to avoid antifreeze are:
Switch to a brand of          antifreeze containing propylene glycol.
          Keep antifreeze stored          safely away from pets and children.
          Don't allow your pet          or child to wander unattended where they can come into contact with          antifreeze.
          Monitor your pet and          child for strange behavior.
