Cocoa Mulch Hazard to Dogs (1 Viewer)

[rickndog]

Cocoa mulch is sold in many garden centres and other outlets and often bought because gardeners like the smell and because it deters cats from gardens. The smell which is similar to chocolate is particularly attractive to dogs which may eat the mulch. A key ingredient of the mulch (and chocolate) is Theobromine and this is very toxic to dogs and cats who may suffer convulsions and sometimes death as a consequence of eating it. See Link Removed
