Why does antifreeze poison dogs?

Answer by  katkat (19)

Antifreeze damages the kidneys, is broken down into toxins by the liver, and may cause central nervous system damage. The dog should be taken to a vet immediately.

Antifreeze is very toxic and it can kill both humans and pets alike. Dogs like the antifreeze because I have been told by my vet is is very sweet tasting. When they lick this, even small amounts, of this toxin can kill your pet.
