We have been having car problems and antifreeze and transmission fluid got on the ground near the house in various spots (on concrete). I know it is deadly to dogs so I have not let any one lose for an instant. We did put cat litter on the puddles but at what point is it not an issue or is there a way to get rid of it effectively so there is no worry of them licking it. ( I don't know how attracted they are to the stuff.)
When I was little the neighbors had a dog that died a horrible death after drinking some antifreeze.
Any suggestions would be great.
The antifreeze can be rinsed away with water and kitty litter is good to soak up oil. When the litter soaks up the spill toss the oily stuff and put some fresh litter down and dance on it, grind it into the area with your foot works really good on cement.
You can go the extra mile if you want with a stiff brush, dish soap, water, scrub.
I remember almost drinking antifreeze at a race, I was having a nap in between motos and my dad woke me "your motos lining up".
I grabbed the gal of water and chugged, quickly realizing it was antifreeze spitting it out, it was in a gal water bottle

Lost a puppy to antifreeze once in 1983. From that point on we would clean with water then spray with a bleach/water mix. They couldnt stand the bleach smell and would stay away.

I think they are making some antifreezes nowadays that have a bad taste. If a dog or kid should drink some (I learned this when I worked rescue) you can give them 90 proof alcohol, usually a whisky (cannot be less than that) the ethyl alcohol will bind with the methyl alcohol and prevent it from being absorbed, you do this as you are rushing to the hospital or vet. I hope no one ever has to use that remedy.
My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

hmmm...so you're saying I get to add whiskey to my first aid kit....I like it!
I will do that than with the litter and water...
I have kept all dogs on leash with a close eye to what they are doing at the end of it... That is except for my sisters mex chihuahua,(spoiled rotten and she thinks it is going to kill the dog to stay on leash.)
