Kids Back Antifreeze Bills to Protect Pets

Woke up this morning to wonderful news!!! Some movement on the Legislative side.

For a number of years, people across the States have been taking action and voicing their opinions regarding the sweet tasting, but also very harmful product, antifreeze. In particular, in 2003, a dog named Scooby, had to be euthanized after ingesting a small amount of antifreeze. As you may be aware, a small amount of ethylene glycol (main ingredient of anitfreeze) kills a number of pets each year. Not a pretty site.

Lets hope that "Scooby's" law is introduced soon Federally, to reduce the number of poisonings occuring each year.
