Antifreeze warning

To avoid accidental poisonings:

• Always keep antifreeze in clearly labelled, robust, sealed containers, away from pets and their environment.
• Clean up any spills IMMEDIATELY, no matter how small, and make sure pets cannot access the area until it is clean and safe.
• Always dispose of antifreeze safely and responsibly. Contact your local authority for advice.

If your pet shows any of the following signs take them to a vet IMMEDIATELY:

·  Increased urination

·  Increased drinking

·  Vomiting

·  Depression

·  Lethargy (being abnormally sleepy)

·  Appearing drunk and uncoordinated

·  Seizures (fitting)

·  Abnormally fast heartbeat

·  Very fast, shallow breathing

The sooner veterinary treatment is received, the better their chance of survival. If left untreated pets can suffer, and will die.
