Ask the APCC: Antifreeze Spills
Yesterday, my neighbors spilled some antifreeze on their driveway, which they washed off. They were kind enough to let us know what happened, but how long do I need to keep my pets away before it isn’t hazardous any more?

Good question, Caryn! First, kudos to your neighbors for being responsible by alerting you to the spill. Once the area has been allowed to dry and there are no puddles, your pets should be able to reenter, as the ethylene glycol antifreeze would no longer be accessible for consumption.
More new questions:
- Are all types of cherry trees poisonous to dogs?
- I just received a Dendrobium orchid plant. Is it safe for my cat?
- We have a locust tree that drops large brown pods. Are these poisonous to pets?

Why is your dog going into your neighbor's driveway? Is there no leash law in your town? If there is I suggest you follow it and keep your dog safe. Many dogs get into trouble because their owners do not take the same precautions they do with their children.
ASPCA does a great job with helping out animals, so me and my friends are gonna make a fund for them. Then when we collect some money i will give it to a humane sociaty to help them buy more food and toys for the animals.
