Ash,

I was out doing some last minue Christmas shopping at the Target on Airport Road yesterday. Much to my dismay, I saw lots of blue liquid in the snow. It looks like someone had poured antifreeze on the snow to help it melt. If it is antifreeze people need to be aware so their dogs don’t drink the water. There is a mega box pet store in that shopping center so people need to be cautious.

Anti-freeze is green, dear. The ice-melt (AKA salt) is tinted blue so you can see where you have already spread it on the snow or ice. I still wouldn’t recommend letting my dog eat it, but I don’t think they would.

some of the ice melting salt that you can buy to sprinkle on your driveway is blue tinted as well, so hopefully it’s that rather than antifreeze.
