Yes. If your cat or dog has walked on the gritted roads, clean their paws and feed them some charcoal biscuits to absorb the poison.
Grit is spread on the road when grit spreaders do this. They do this in anticipation of Ice forming on the roads. Salts mixed in with the grit which assists in tyre grip will help dissolve the ice
gRit
Grit, used to clear snowy and icy surfaces of snow and ice, is actually 100% salt. They stopped using grit to clear roads in the 1920s.
Antifreeze is added to a 2005 Honda Civic at the coolant overflow tank. Antifreeze is added at a ratio of 50/50 with water for optimal cooling.
When grit dissolves into water it lowers the temperature that water freezes at so at 0'C water does not freeze. However grit can only lower the freezing point of water to about -7'C
You need 1 1/3 quarts of pure antifreeze.
If it has never had any water/coolant added, then no it doesn't require antifreeze.
There are two reasons: 1) adding grit to the road helps to improve the tyres' grip on the icy surface. 2) the grit contains salt and that lowers the freezing point of water, so it helps prevent ice forming.

turnes in to acid..
4 gallons Let x be the amount of antifreeze needed to be added. We know that the total amount of antifreeze in the new solution must equal the amount of antifreeze in the old solution + x: .40*(x+12)=x+.20*12 .60x=2.40 x=4 gallons
2 gallons.
