AMSOIL Antifreeze and Coolant
Pet Safe Antifreeze
Most antifreeze poisonings start with a small puddle under a car. Conventional coolant is made with ethylene glycol, a chemical that tastes sweet to dogs and cats and attacks the kidneys within hours of being licked up. AMSOIL Propylene Glycol Antifreeze and Engine Coolant (ANT) takes a different approach: it is built on propylene glycol, a low-toxicity base used in food and cosmetics, so an accidental lick carries far less danger for the animals and kids who share your driveway. You can order it online below and have it shipped to your door.

Why regular antifreeze is so dangerous for pets
Ethylene glycol is responsible for thousands of accidental pet poisonings every year. The liquid tastes sweet, so a dog or cat that finds a drip on the garage floor will often keep licking. Inside the body it breaks down into acids that crystallize in the kidneys, and by the time symptoms show up the damage is usually advanced. A cat can be killed by roughly a teaspoon. A medium dog does not need much more.
Because spills and slow radiator drips are almost impossible to rule out completely, the most reliable protection for a pet household is to take ethylene glycol out of the system entirely.
What makes propylene glycol antifreeze safer
Propylene glycol delivers the same freeze and boil-over protection in the radiator, but mammals metabolize it without producing the kidney-destroying acids that make ethylene glycol lethal. The FDA classifies propylene glycol as generally recognized as safe at food-additive levels, which is why it also appears in medicines and packaged foods. No engine coolant should ever be left where animals can drink it, but if an accident happens, the safety margin is dramatically wider.
AMSOIL Antifreeze and Coolant pairs that low-toxicity base with a poly organic acid inhibitor package. It protects against freezing to -34 degrees F, guards against boil-over to 265 degrees F with a 15 psi cap, resists corrosion on aluminum, iron, steel, copper, and solder, and is biodegradable in its unused form. Full specifications are on the Propylene Glycol Antifreeze product page.
Where can I buy pet safe antifreeze?
Propylene glycol coolant is rarely stocked on auto parts store shelves, which mostly carry ethylene glycol formulas. The dependable way to get it is to order online.

Service life runs up to seven years or 250,000 miles in cars, light trucks, and RVs, and up to seven years or 750,000 miles in over-the-road diesel trucks. It is compatible with other ethylene and propylene formulas already in the system, though a full flush preserves the pet-safety benefit you are buying it for.
Pet safe antifreeze questions
Is pet safe antifreeze really safe if my dog drinks it?
Safer, not harmless. Propylene glycol has a far wider safety margin than ethylene glycol and does not produce the kidney-destroying acids that make conventional antifreeze lethal, but a large amount can still make an animal sick. Keep any coolant sealed and clean up spills promptly, and contact a veterinarian if a pet drinks any engine fluid.
Will propylene glycol antifreeze work in my car?
Most gasoline and diesel vehicles accept it. AMSOIL Antifreeze and Coolant meets ASTM D3306 and D6210 and works in cars, light trucks, RVs, motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and closed marine cooling systems. Check the owner's manual first on European models, since a few OEMs specifically require ethylene glycol chemistry.
Can I just add it on top of my old antifreeze?
It mixes safely with ethylene and propylene glycol formulas, including DEX-Cool and other OAT and HOAT coolants. For the full pet-safety benefit, drain the old coolant, flush with distilled water, and refill so no sweet-tasting ethylene glycol remains in the system.
Where can I buy pet safe antifreeze near me?
Brick and mortar auto parts stores rarely stock propylene glycol coolant. Ordering online is the practical option: AMSOIL ships its Propylene Glycol Antifreeze and Coolant factory direct across the United States and Canada, usually arriving within a few business days.
