Be careful with rad coolant, clean up any spills. It has a sweetish taste and is deadly poison to dogs, cats etc. Its biggest constituent is glycol, and it gives a slow and painful death, destroys the kidney tissues. No real antidotes once it is metabolized. That said, I did put it out at night once, mixed with blood off some liver and the offending coon never came back.

Bottom line: Be real careful with antifreeze.

The auto coolant is way too risky. There is not a dog or cat that won't drink that stuff.
