An important bill to be aware of!

H.R. 615 This bill could save the life of your pet's and wildlife!


It's purpose is to amend the Federal Hazardous Substances Act to require engine coolant and antifreeze to contain a bittering agent so as to render it unpalatable.


The main ingredient, ethylene glycol, is sweet tasting and is attractive to animals. It only takes a small amount (1-2 teaspoons for cats, 3 tablespoons for a med dog for example) to poison and kill anything that ingests it. Read more about Antifreeze poisoning and it's affects.
